Jeez...FYI, there were NO similarities with 9/11.....for crying out loud... all over the news "The eerie similiarities of 5 years ago...." bla bla bla....

A guy in a tiny little plane had mechanical problems and he crashed....

Sheesh!

I actually dont know who I hate more, the Yankees or Al Quaeda...

But you cant say its not similar...I mean, a plane in NYC hit a building. If a meteor shower started sinking ships at Pearl Harbor, would you be pissed too?

When I was in Cincinnati a plane tried landing on the highway near my house and turned a mini van into a blender about 150 ft from my apartment. I don't get all worked up everytime a minivan gets set to frappe.

Well everyone's sick of hearing about Iraq. And everyone was sick of hearing about Afghanistan about 5 years ago. So the news asshats are all over this little tragedy like flies on sh!t.

actually, can you imagine if this had happened in the midwest?? there'd be widespread panic, lynching of any a-rabs and demands that ALL of the homeland security money should be spent protecting bob's potato farm and billy-joe's christian theme park.

Calm down skippy.

There was a plane crash in Kentucky and they didn't freak out.

Sort of true. Mark Folley was planning on the plane crashing in May. Democrat Operatives made the crash happen right before the elections when it would have maximum voter impact.
Did anyone watch Southpark last night?

Cartman: 25% of Americans believe there is conspiracy involving 9-11.

Stan: Well 25% of Americans are retarded.

a crop-duster is of similar size, and if stocked w/ bochulism or anthrax (not even of weaponized size), it could be rather effective. of course, this is highly, highly, highly unlikely, but this still won't prevent this gov't from reminding you of its rather remote possibility

I rather crash a tanker full of LSD into a resevoir.

which leads to something else that's rather silly:

up in these parts, access to resevoirs has been either greatly limited, or eliminated, all in the name of keeping our drinking water safe from terrorist attacks. however, the water isn't pulled from the resevoirs directly, but rather downstream, where it's far easier & more discrete to access. you see signs at the resevoirs reading to the effect "this is YOUR drinking water; report all suspicious activity".

I take my dog to swim in one of our local resevoirs. It would be impossible to protect any of them as they are right smack in the middle of residential areas.
