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.

Stephen is a British theoretical physicist, whose world-renowned scientific career spans over 40 years. His books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity and he is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Hawking’s key scientific works to date have included providing, with Roger Penrose, theorems regarding singularities in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes should emit radiation, which is today known as Hawking radiation (or sometimes as Bekenstein-Hawking radiation).

Frankie knows where Carmen Sandiego is.
Frankie once tried to wear glasses. The result was him seeing around the world to the point where he was looking at the back of his own head.
Frankie doesn't worry about changing his clock twice a year for daylight savings time. The sun rises and sets when Frankie tells it to.
If paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, and scissors beats paper, what beats all 3 at the same time? Answer: Frankie.

After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Frankie. It was more "humane".
Frankie counted to infinity - twice.

Frankie's probably busy building a singularity in his garage that can suck up all the email he is getting about all posts he doesn't care about.

It might be a handy invention just for this thread if nothing else

Monkeys once flew out of Frankie's butt. Only they were Gorillaz, and they formed a band.

I actually think this thread may have reached the event horizon.

If you do have an IQ of 159, I sincerely hope it's put to good use in your daily life and that it shines through in person, because I don't even have to compare you to my smart friends to tell you it doesn't show up here.

Not even a little.

That means that you are really, REALLY smart, BTW.

I'm sure he means 159 using metric, not standard.

**Donger** · 08-03-2011, 03:15 PM

Frankie's probably reviewing Hawking's bio and thinking, "Ha! He does hair and make-up!?"
