What in the world is Brian Williams doing in the Superdome? Does he have a death wish or something...



Except for unpredictable occupants, THE DOME IS SAFE!

I get a little nervous when I hear that a gulf oil platform registered winds of 215 mph before the instrumentation failed, then read that the Superdome was designed for 200mph winds.

I hope that figure doesn't include the safety margin.

Wikipedia says the Superdome is safe up to 120 MPH. No one knows after that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Superdome
