Passenger jet breakes in two! How safe are those planes we ride everyday?

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.

Your inability to grasp the language with precision has been the root cause of a significant percentage of what's happened in this thread. Your failures are not the fault of "those with petty grudge and insecurity". They are the fault of someone who needs a better understanding of the language he is using, namely yourself.

I don't know if he is or not. But there are other posters of Iranian heritage here. They have recognized what that means to their participation in the CP to reveal it and have not done so. I respect their decision, but I personally like to have my opponent/proponent know me as well as he/she can before we engage in discussions.

Was his father a snitch like Frankie?

I don't want people to think that you either made this up or brought up an old event from your father's past in order to garner sympathy and divert attention from this thread. You don't trade in victimhood, after all.

I will look when I have time. These things probably don't occupy but a few lines in the tenth page of a California newspaper. We are accepting the wife's story as truth though for the time being as we have no reason to doubt her sincerity.

Now will you apologize for posting a misleading article and photo that led to this mess?

Apology accepted.

I posted a piece of everyday news the kind of which pop up on this forum all the time and go on for 30 replies max. Very insignificant. The way it was turned into a lynch mob should tell you that I should be the one deserving an apology.

If my thread has "misled" a group of idiots I don't give a flying turd and do not consider the mental damage and pain of being "misled" significant.

This reads exactly like a Tom_Cash post.

My inability to understand why some human beings need to be such petty mindless bigoted ignoramuses with precision has been the root cause of a significant percentage of what's happened in this thread. But keep justifying the assholery.

As I expected.

And just to clarify, are you saying that my posts caused you "significant mental damage and pain"?
