Or, it could just mean that the reporter was only able to talk to a few of the passengers and thus reported: "some of the passengers..."

And now I see that in post #19 I left out words that I thought I had written making it clearer that my primary issue was that the "even though" implies that credit given to the pilot is misdirected.

The "some people" part was just a distant second that ended up looking like my primary issue due to bad writing.

No one seems to be wondering what the flock of geese had done to offend God that he sent a bolt from the sky to smite them.

Except a small child. When I said that everyone had made it out safely, my son said "Not the birds."

Or perhaps we should be looking at why the birds were so depressed they decided to end it all that way.

Secularist nihilism.

al qaeda birds. They are not victims of god's wrath but warriors in gods vengeance. They have been rewarded and are martyrs.

Goose, al qaeda, God, sucked into jet engine, pate, feathers...

Goddammit there must be a really bad pun somewhere in all of that but I just can't come up with it.

Wow. Just wow.

I just had a discussion with some of the folks here at the office. They heard at the time of the crash the water temperature was 40 Degrees and the outside temp was in the teens, so they said they would have waited in the water where it was warmer.

Oy vey!

Which is dumb since 40 is plenty cold enough to get hypothermic and water will pull heat away from you WAY quicker than air
