Crash Blamed On Geese; But Was It Really A Failed Bush-Cheney Plot?

How do we know they weren't al-Qaida geese and how do we know this plane crash - miraculously without any deaths - wasn't a scheme concocted by The Bush-Cheney Evil Empire to keep us in a State of Fear? I ask this because this is the mentality of The Left during that past eight years. Question everything, they told us of Bush and Cheney. So who's buying this "it was Canadian geese" cover story?

Curses! Foiled again!

I think the MSM spin will be: “See, we are only a few days away from The Messiah’s acension and already miracles are happening...”

Global warming caused the geese to live too far north. They wouldn’t have been there, otherwise.

Get with the program.....

[stboz]

You mean “Der Uberscwartzenfuhrer?”

[lymelady]

For the first time in history, birds got caught in an engine...it defies physics that the plane hit the water the way it did.

Sarah Palin’s fault

[beckysueb]

It had to be BushMcPalinRoveHitler. It just couldn’t have been that big of a coincidence.

[Cicero]

No, no. It was a premature Obama-Biden plot. With assistance from Nancy Pelosi.

No, NO, NO!!!! Get with the proper right wingnut terrorist propoganda, people!!

We're not using the Bush-Cheney Evil Empire to keep people in a state of fear. How quaint!! We've done that for years, and it's worked to perfection. Now for [insert evil cackle] the next phase...

We're using the Bush-Cheney Evil Empire so that BushCo can declare martial law and not relinquish control of the government to Obama.

Check your right wing secret decoder ring... it may be mis-calibrated.

I read on a website a week or so ago, that the US military were planting high explosives around Yellowstone caldera, and that within the week before Obama is inaugurated coronated, they'll blow the caldera, forcing a super eruption, creating a nationwide catastrophy, and declaring martial law, allowing Bush/Cheney to retain power.

Personally I thought they could have been muslim geese on a suicide mission.

Rosie O’Donnel said it best.

“There is no way a bird can knock down an airplane. This was planned.”

[willgolfforfood]

QUITE plausible. No question...

There's a video out there taken from a G.I. in the Pacific during World War 2. (I believe it's from Iwo Jima.) It shows a B-29 ditching in the ocean not too far from the beach. The plane remained intact and the crew was able to escape.

You can find it on You Tube.

Yes, everyone knows birds CANNOT fly into plane engines!

My understanding is that this was somewhat SOP for crippled B-29s returning to the Marianas. Pilots were told to ditch their Superforts off the beach rather than risk shutting down a runway by crashing. There are lots of B-29s sitting underwater just off the ends of the old WWII runways on Guam, Tinian and Siapan.

On a related subject, ever see "The Last Flight of Noah's Ark"? Old Disney movie from the 70s or early 80s involving a group of castaways that converts a ditched B-29 into a raft to make it home.

Airliners are designed to be ditched and stay afloat for a certain amount of time. While it helps to have near-empty tanks, jet fuel is buoyant (less so than air, of course), so dumping fuel prior to ditching helps (not just for buoyancy, but re risk of post-ditching fire), but isn't required.

[Northern Yankee]

My dad flew B-29's out of Guam. You could be right.

I do know that he was grateful to have Iwo Jima as an option at the end of the war. He lost an engine on the last mission of the war, and ended up having to make an emergency landing at Iwo. (A day later Japan surrendered.)

The runways at Iwo were a bit dicey for the Superfortress, but beat the heck out of the alternative.

When I first saw this on the news, I was surprised we weren’t presented with all the past crashes and faults of the plane. Instead we were told it had a safe history.
