a story would be nice

1/15/2009 3:56:29 PM

and i swear they were just doing stories a few days ago about how there haven't been any fatalities on the major airlines in 2 years....

1/15/2009 3:56:40 PM

So what happens to all the victim's frequent flyer miles?

Too soon?

1/15/2009 3:56:58 PM

Doesnt look like the plane broke up. I used to work at US Airways.

1/15/2009 3:57:04 PM

how far was it from laguardia?

1/15/2009 3:57:06 PM

if I had one I would post it, I posted it as soon as I saw it in the "breaking news" thing on CNN which is up there before they have even a brief story usually.

New York City firefighters are responding to the crash. It was not immediately clear if there were injuries.

it just really annoys me that the link is to a video and I go to the main page and there is literally a HUGE headline about it but no link. I scroll down somewhere else and find the video. Of course I can't play it because it requires the next version of flash, which I don't give a damn about, and fucks up every time I try installing it.

So all I know about the whole thing is a tdub thread title and thumbnail.

1/15/2009 4:05:14 PM

i never understand this


but why the fuck are ALL flight attendents gay

like seriously is there a good logical reason for this?

1/15/2009 4:05:59 PM

Everyone is off the plane!

1/15/2009 4:09:36 PM

GOD DAMN YOU, STATISTICS! GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL!

1/15/2009 4:10:14 PM

Word is that they hit a flock of birds and lost both engines.

1/15/2009 4:10:44 PM

According to unconfirmed reports, there were three animal species thought to be myth on board the plane, Bigfoot, Leprechaun, and a sane woman. These animals were being shipped to a research facility in Charlotte for DNA analysis.

1/15/2009 4:11:41 PM

i just heard he hit a flock of birds, and then used the river as a runway to "land" it on the water. that's why the plane didn't break apart.

that's fucking AMAZING on the pilots part

1/15/2009 4:12:41 PM

all passengers and crew were fine. a flock of birds took it down.
