Maybe Tom Cruise was the pilot.
I keep hearing he is unstable.

Perhaps it was stirred up this year by our big storms.

How it got at least 4,900 miles away, no one knows for certain.I'm gonna guess the Atlantic Ocean currents had something to do with it.

Either that or teleportation. I love intelligent journalists, don't you?

They should move it to Dublin and build a theme pub around it.

For the Gulf stream that makes it warm enough for palm trees to grow along the coast of western Scotland, moving a vertical stabilizer a few thousand miles was a snap.

It must have floated into the Bermuda Triangle and then was ejected onto the Irish coast at Mach 7 (perhaps making crop circles in Iceland on the way).

Oddly enough, I used the dialogue from that scene on the thread about the retired Navy pilot who landed his F-86 with the gear down.

How it got at least 4,900 miles away, no one knows for certain. Hmm, maybe we can come up with some theories to help out this dim bulb reporter. I'll go first:
1. It broke off, and floated over there on the Gulf Stream.
2. ???

Another reason why the Gulf Stream should be tapped for Ocean current hydro-power. And another reason why journalists should be euthanized.
