Broken Planes & Families, and the number 159
Passenger jet breakes in two! How safe are those planes we ride everyday?
http://news.yahoo.com/cheers-screams...185128270.html GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived. Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot. The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. |

Frankie is never wrong. He will declare victory shortly and then excuse himself to go and run an errand or two. He'll be back soon thereafter, however.

As far as being wrong or right it seems that you guys are the ones so cocksure that a mechanical man-made object is totally indestructible. I am merely presenting the point that there is such a thing as human negligence when it comes to maintenance. |
