A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Nothing wrong with that. Looks like the wood burning stove is ready to start cooking dinner on.

I'm surprised it was still turning. I wonder if it still had thrust.

They just said on the national news that a fan blade is missing and another one is damaged. That explains the engine shaking (imbalanced compressor)...

I was out in my driveway when that plane flew overhead on its way back to DIA. Lots of smoke pouring from #2.

Interesting to note that the engines are mounted on shear bolts and are designed to break off under heavy vibration rather than damage the wing/airframe - watch out below!
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?
