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. |

I'll bet Frankie would win the Pyrite medal in the deadlift at the dumb**** olympics.
Hell, even Marty Shook knew when to hit the eject button. |

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes.[1] The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority. Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others" (p. 1127).[2] The effect is about paradoxical defects in cognitive ability, in oneself and others Only thing missing was Frankie's picture. |

I think Frankie actually believes what he says. He so deep in denial and his own preconceptions about things, there's no way out. Arguing with him is impossible. You can point out to him that the thing he thought to be black is actually white in reality and he will tell you that he's intellectually superior (after he says your original argument was that all things are white).

My guess is that the pilot didn't hit the breakes in time. He might have been over-worked. He should take a little breake from flying for a while.
