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 was once in a car crash and the car got broken too. Obviously I don't ride in cars anymore. I mean how safe are they?

No, even for Frankie, that would be too much. I'm sure that he was just hypothesizing what would happen IF a plane just decided to break into two while in flight.
I'm sure. Right Frankie?

I'm not sure how this has happened - take a look at the snapshot, it was 'state of the art'

Now that I look at the bigger picture, after clicking on the link, that had to be one hell of a rodeo, for the people seated by "the crack."
