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.

Besides, it's a Boeing. I won't break up in the air unless helped by a bomb, missile or an unmaintained, aged and corroded airframe.

The pilot was quoted saying. "The damned runway was extremely short, But you wouldn't believe how wide it was".

I wonder if the radar rings have anything to do with this?

No worries mates, Obama said he can fix this with a jet tax.

Some of us have evolved out of it to a reasonable degree. Some will be lucky if their great grandchildren get there.

It's pathetic and petty, really. But the dumb does not recognize pettiness.

Honestly, Frankie, I understand you think that (and maybe even believe it) but you should have taken my advice and just had a laugh over this abortion of a thread.

Instead, you chose to go full-Frankie. And, no, that's not a compliment.

I honestly don't know what you're talking about, Frankie. I usually just laugh at you, I didn't realize we were "matching wits" at some point. You're going to have to give me some links if you don't mind.

You do realize that this thread has made you look extremely stupid yet again, right? And unlike some other posters, I don't judge you by your nationality, I only laugh at your stupidity.

I don't even know what Frankie is trying to argue about anymore. He just keeps calling people half witted for whatever reason.
