With about 45,000 flights per day in the US, I'm amazed there isn't more excitement. A city with that much vehicle traffic probably kills more people on a daily basis.
I wonder how much the mud bogger passengers will be able to garner in their collective lawsuit?

Flying is safer than walking down the street or living in some city's anymore.

I got a bonus 24 hours in Houston a few weeks back because it snowed in Denver and there was no other seats available for an entire day. It was a goat rope I tell you.

Bring back those cartoon ducks having an airborne screw! It's going to be interesting to see if the tire falling off was a material failure or a maintenance issue.

Should be "worth" a billion....
Oh, wait - they were on the ground - make it half a billion. Well, not the engine fire- that was in the air.

I wonder how much the mud bogger passengers will be able to garner in their collective lawsuit? +1, just came back from Cabo last week. Seattle was the biggest airport we went through and the amount of traffic was impressive. It's not even a 'big' airport. FWIW: Flew on 2) of Delta's Boeing 737-800's, the doors stayed on.

United went DEI several years ago.
The good news, otherwise unemployable nigs have good jobs.
The bad news, airplanes crash.

When I was 12 my Grandmother was going on vacation for her birthday, and she told me she was flying on United Airlines. So for her birthday card I drew two Mallards having sex in mid flight, with the caption of Happy Birthday - Fly United. She loved it and laughed her head off lol I sure do miss her, she had a great sense of humor
