    You're predicting that it will crash. Just as bad as rooting imo.

    So a stock market guy on cnbc or whatever can't say he thinks the market will crash without being seen as rooting for it?

    A good one would bet on it to fail and make money in a bear market.

    I'm not talking about the Russians at all. Barely even recognized the line in the story about paying them for rides. The ridiculous part is you saying we all want it to crash cuz Russians.

    Ridiculous on every level. Should have just ignored it because it is that stupid.

    Nah, people dying in a terrible accident aren't worth 20 bucks to me. I was just being smart and getting a little cash out of it.

    I've spent hours and hours watching YouTube of airplane crashes. I don't wish that on anyone

    Well, I missed something then. Easy to do when I'm working and only have a quick minute to scan the board.

    Jesus Christ... do you really think that most of those questions were real ones? Just because someone disparages another for being negative doesn't mean that they're being negative. They're just pointing out negativity. Get a clue on that one. Now go back, and reread my post and see it as tongue-in-cheek and then you wouldn't have to post some shit like you did a second ago.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Guys, this is getting a little heated. Stick to basketball.

    bodyman at least offered comps, even if comparing planes to planes is a bit lazy and arguably racist. The bridge comp was creditable, though.

    Geez! I can't count the number of ways this abortion offends my senses and reasoning.

    If you can find a runway to get this thing off on, can you imagine bring it down is a crosswind like often occurs at Portland? Coming in at a 30deg angle to the runway where it must straighten up darn soon upon touch down. Holy hell! I see noway the outside fuselage accelerates around in time even if it remains attached.

    Allan reminds me of Hughes with this one.

    They don't plan to fly it in and out of PDX.

    uh, the reason I used PDX as an example, is maybe people in this forum may have experienced the crosswind. That does not make it unique to PDX.

    Yeah, too bad nobody designing the airplane ever heard of crosswinds.

    SAD!

    Oh I am sure they heard of them.
    It doesn't appear the know how to account for them. It would not be the first time.

    I'm just going to go ahead and assume they know more about it than you. Although I will stipulate that you probably know quite a bit about crosswinds generally. Fair enough?
