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.

You must have cared a little. Why else would you bump this thread after more than 12 hours of inactivity?

I'll bet you had to dig down to the 3rd or 4th page to find it.

This will get promptly ignored by Frankie.

This thread delivers some HoC pairings....

"none of you stand a chance at a logical argument with me"/"everyone here thinks planes are indestructible!" (the black vs white strategy, a CP favorite)
"I'm so much better than you"/"you're just jealous" (aka the Jerry Springer argument)
"I'm not here to brag"/"159" "159" "159" "What's yours, caveman"
"I'm not here to convince anyone, and really don't care"/{f5 f5 f5 f5 f5}

And none of those even touch the original idiocy in the thread title. This thread is way better than the normal crap-flinging threads... the protagonist shows more arrogance than most others, and mixes it with the naivety and flat-out denial that you would see in an old Slayer thread.

Nice work, 159.

I keep saying I'm used to it, and for the most part I am. But sometimes I do wonder about the sheer insanity of this behavior and the pettiness. And I shake my head in pity.

This thread was dead until YOU bumped, 159.

Durrr.

12 hours of inactivity that included my night time sleep. AND the fact that I do have a life beyond CP. AND the fact that I get an email reminder every time someone posts in a thread I'm subscribed to.

Oops!

What did I say about idiots posting here?

I was at a place called New Mexico Skies between Cloudcroft and Mayhill. Spent 4 days there came through Almagordo 4-5 days ago during a torrential downpour and then headed back. Cool looking place.

Yeap, you didn't care at all, that's why you get emails any time someone replies to this, and then you bump it.

Your capacity for logic is that of an ant.

Yep, Metrolike, you just proved your mental capacity. Judge not lest ye shall be judged.

Nice work, 159.

It reminds me of a few Guardian threads, only instead of weight lifting numbers it's brainpower.

You don't care, yet you've elected to subscribe to the thread and receive email every time some one posts.

Gotcha!
