What do you think happened to that Air France flight?

Well doesn't that make us all feel better about it all. I have a fear of heights and falling from the sky is one of the last ways I'd like to die.

Getting back to the plane... I would think that unless a bomb just flat out blew the plane apart, there would be some semblence of aerodynamic stability and the fall may have been 20-40 seconds. Terrifying.

 

My college roommate was on the Pan Am flight that was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland. My only solace was that he probably never knew what happened.

 

That is terrible. I think terrorists should be pursued to the ends of the earth and flat out killed very slowly.

 

Yep. It was a real turning point for me. I was your typical naive college liberal until that day.

 

Oh great...

I've barely heard any coverage of the flight over here. They had a quick two minute report on it but apart from that I've heard nothing else about it... Do you hear a lot about it in the States?

 

Not a whole lot, actually. That is a concern in and of itself.

 

turbulence, imo.

 

depressurized cabin would put you to sleep in less than a minute.

 

what if they put their masks on?

 

whoa...this is news to me

 

bermuda triangle!

 

Wow.

I have a theory that the government won't call anything a terrorist event anymore unless it is so obvious - so as to not give them the publicity which in turn makes doing such acts less attractive.

Anybody with me on this?

 

LOST!
