    I'm sure by now that, unless someone lives under a rock, everyone has heard about the Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco. Obviously, it's very early in the investigation, but everything that I'm hearing seems to point to a pilot inexperienced with that air frame, and a trainer who let the trainee get too far ahead of him.

    Opinions, Comments?

    Like, where's Mike Hunt? LOL... I spotted the joke by the second name. For a moment, I thought it was some bad taste college humor satire. But no... Damn, I can't believe that real live news casters didn't realize they were being had; how lame can they be?

  4. Initially I was hoping this NTSB intern got what he deserved and got fired, but after looking at the reaction from the Zimmerman case, I applaud this intern.

    People are flipping their shits over the Zimmerman verdict, where their only source of information was media bias. With the intern's name joke, one would hope that people realize the dangers of replying on media sources.

    Then again, this won't change. People will continue to flip their shits for no reason lol.

    Well according to study your chances of dying from a car crash is higher then a plane crash but when i see news like this... i have a weird feeling.
