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. |

How amusing. Einstein 159 claims he is just as smart as Stephen Hawking.

Hawkster erroneously posted that a muon is not classified as a lepton. It was an honest mistake, and the rest of the board had a good-natured chuckle at his expense. Hawkster took it too far and claimed that he was as smart as Frankie, and the dogpile ensued. |

Or you could have acted like a man. You could have been intellectually honest, admitted that you got a little carried away with your OP and everyone would just go "Oh lol, it's just ol' Frankie being Frankie."

This. Frankie is usually a pretty good sport. But this has just 'plane' got out of hand.

Structural fatigue vs air (no matter how aerodynamic) and vibration can create a similar failure. You chose to double-down. |

If there were any mistake on my part it was in my wording. But I will not leave unanswered ridicules by half-wits who did not give THAT a little thought in their blind rush to "prove" THIS "FERNER" is less intelligent than them. That's why I'm still here and adamant in seeing it through. I learned long ago on this forum that I cannot afford to embolden the chimps. |
