Oh chill out the whole bunch of you. If you read what I wrote in context you'd get my meaning through my admittedly stupid and crappy phrasing.
Creationism is a competing ANSWER for the question of creation. Of course it's not a science-based one--you all seem to have ignored that I began my post by pointing out I don't believe in Creationism--but Creationism is of sufficient popularity that it SHOULD be taught in a science course about evolution if only to show how significant opposition exists.

You knew the point I was making, but you're just as hysterical as the Creationists.

Wrong thread. LOL

What does creationism have to do with an airplane crash?

I figured...that was what my son calls "pretty random"...even for the famous Darkwolf.

Several questions come to mind.

I heard Fox News say the crew WAS NOT aware that there were heavy thunderstorms in progress at the airport at the time. I am a private pilot and I KNOW there is an ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) at Toronto airport. The ATIS can be tuned in by the crew and they SHOULD have done so! Had they done so, they might have chosen to go to their 'alternate airport' whatever that was. The crew didn't do that and I would like to know WHY!

Why did the crew land long as has been reported by passengers on the flight? Was it wind-shear or what? What were the minimums for the approach and were they followed? Did the crew see the runway at the DH even in the heavy downpour reported? If they did not, WHY didn't they execute missed approach? Lots of questions but few answers.

I don't think that post evolved from any previous posts.

[Darkwolf377]

Wow, that was bizarre--I didn't even KNOW a plane had crashed, I checked my pings when I just signed on, and then...???????

The Internate hates me. Maybe Al Gore was right...

Goodyear has a hangar that converts DC-10's into MD10F's and MD11's into freighters.

MD11 is a terrible passenger plane, but a great cargo plane, Boeing screwed up by closing the line and destroying the tooling, the MD would have gotten dozens of airborne refuler contracts from the military.

somehow that post ended up on the wrong thread.

Oh, good! I thought I missed a Topic Change meeting. :-)

Video from a temporary break in the smoke suggests the plane split apart just forward of the upright tail fin(term?).

[Steve_Seattle]

"Listening to live interview of fellow who stopped on highway and he says he spoke to flight attendant who was under the bridge. She told him that she thought everyone got off the plane. Praise God if true."

If the plane broke up just before or right after landing, and if there was any kind of fireball, it's unlikely that everyone got out. But it does sound like there are numerous survivors.

Idiot interviewer just said to him "welcome to Canada".

ROFLMAO!!
