Moved to the appropriate forum. Please be aware of the forum section when starting a new thread. Thank you

I'd like to visit Austin just to go through your closet and find socks in your shoes and proclaim the NEED TO BE AWARE that SOCKS go in THE SOCK DRAWER!!!

IOU + rep when I can!

I'm hoping for the best here....

Wow just tread the story on Reuters unbeievable....

Actually, I have fear of flying, so it's totall believable to me.

 

[Kooshdakhaa]

unfortunately, they are now reporting 2 fatalities and 48 injuries

Prayers to all involved.

Seriously?

You don't even know anyone on the plane.

Yeah, people like to make public displays of compassion and caring for complete strangers when something like this happens, but they treat people they ACTUALLY KNOW from forums like this or in real life...like crap.

And as for the prayers...well, I'll bet a lot of those people on that plane prayed for a safe trip as the plane was taking off...lot of good that did.

so will MSNBC create excuses that conservatives and tea-party can be blamed?

I'm sorry, but I don't believe such language is appropriate here. Why do people of either side choose to politicize disasters like this? Knock it off!

You don't believe such language is "appropriate" here? Are you kidding me? I don't think this board is known for "appropriate."

Looks like first responders did a remarkable job, a passenger noted that a fire fighter entered the rear of the plane before all the passengers deplaned.

NBC is now playing the conversation between the pilot and the tower and other planes in the area. Professionals under extraordinary conditions remain calm and did a exceptional job.

Press conference just started.

 

[Kooshdakhaa]

Firefighters are amazing heroes.

am I right? first major airline crash since the one that went down in Long Island? the one that crashed a few weeks/or so after 9/11? (in mainland USA)

 

[Political Junky]

Just heard it's the first in SFO history, and the last one with a fatality in the US was in 2001.

Sigh... Where I come from, I was taught something called "manners." When people troll threads about tragedy, it makes my blood boil. So I don't do it.

So, let us show respect for the dead, not disgrace them with our bickering.

Should we only pray for those we know?

I find the phrase hypocritial bullshit; more pablum than sincere...

but go right ahead.

Why I fly into Oakland

Dang! looking at that plane and hearing eye witness reports that it did a cartwheel, as tragic as it was I'm amazed it wasn't worse. Thoughts and prayers to the families.

The Long Island crash was in 1996.

Man you are so condescending.

 

[Circe]

Difficult to believe the death toll won't rise, considering the top of that plane being gone, apparently burned off. But I hope they all got off.

I think it was maybe November 2001, a plane went down after take off, don't recall what NY Airport, I believe an engine failed and it went down shortly after take off, just don't remember what town, I do recall it landed in a suburb, took out a few homes.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

in a way, this reminds me of the plane that lost its "top" in flight. another tragedy from long ago, I think it was on its way to Hawaii, a chunk of the upper body flew off. anyone recall the event? I just remember how they managed to land the plane safely despite the "inconvenience" for the passengers who sat in the rows with no ceiling.
