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.

That's short sighted thinking Donger, he obviously posted 1 thread for each decade he hasn't spoken with the gentleman.

And, to answer the question posed in the title, I'm guessing a primate.

"For the 10th time an airplane CAN break apart in mid-air!!!" *WHACK*

Hey, I'm in this identical situation right now. What a crazy coincidence!

If I say I think he's funny sometimes then do you have to sometimes not post to him?

**loochy** · 08-07-2011, 07:29 AM

What if he would have been beaten mid air? What would have happened? SCARY!

Sorry about your pops, Frankie. But this one right here is pretty darn hilarious. But I hope your pops recovers and you two sit down over a bowl of pre-chewed cashews and work out your differences.

Seems when he was trying to board a city transit bus in Tarzana, a "homeless" person approaches him "telling" him to give him $20. When my dad refuses, the man starts beating him up breaking a couple of bones. When he falls as a result of this he also breaks his pelvic bone. Police is called, the man is arrested, and my dad gets taken to the hospital for a long stay and rehab to be able to walk again.

I'm pissed and cannot believe anyone who calls himself a human being can allow himself to do this to another who's that old.

Just sharing.

I'd bet all my casino cash this "Animal" voted democrat his whole life.

He's still my dad and I love him. His picture is in a frame at my house. He just allowed a lot of pressures get to him and hurt the family with behavior that would be detrimental to any family. We just broke contact.

His wife, BTW, told my brother that he was "a bit out of control at first in the marriage, but now he has mellowed and calmed down." But the best thing we have heard out of this is that she "Really loves him." Maybe the love of a good woman IS, after all the panacea to every ill.

Despicable act,but he probably told the hobo to give him a quarter because his IQ was 159.

This is the "class" I have to deal with on this forum.

Oh, well.

Thanks. I just keep reading the posts by all the low, grudgeful, unfunny bottom feeders and shake my head about this forum. Classy posters like Gaz and others have left. Others like FAX and Greg63 appear to have left. Yet others like gobowe and Rain Man have minimized their participation. The place is being overrun by maggots and mice and when you and I leave they are the ones who will celebrate that "they pushed us out."

I used to think this is the one and only Chiefs forum. But there are a few others with good potential where sanity and class are still the norm.
