Breaking

Perhaps end in this case.

[SoCalPol]

They wee just saying again, some of the schools are in lockdown.

[sofaman]

If the engine was dead, likelihood is that he had no controls or hydraulics. So no controls.

Prayers.

One would think that in such an extreme case, the pilot should have stayed with his aircraft

Navy or Marine Air- you can bet he/she did a fantastic job minimizing damage even with milli seconds to react. They are the best.(sorry Air Force).

[SoCalPol]

The pilot may have lost control of the jet, meaning something happened to the jet, not able to control.

[Joiseydude]

One would think that in such an extreme case, the pilot should have stayed with his aircraft and attempted to divert it to a less populated area.

Maybe the plane wasn't responding to the pilots input?

[sofaman]

I bet they are. 3 of them very close by. Also a Chabad Center on the corner of Genesee & Governor. A hop, skip & a jump from the crash site.

[theDentist]

Actually, dirt is just slightly older by about 6 billion years.... but it has no memory for music.

[SoCalPol]

Thats right, Chabad Center near. They don’t need anymore
hits especially after India

[sofaman]

Griffith just made a good point. The plane was definitely out of it's flight path. They usually come in east to west over I15. There's no wind to speak of so they wouldn't be coming in from the opposite direction.

He/ she was trying to get back to base and took the shortest route. Almost made it, too.

and believe that any high school kid could fly one in combat.

Are you saying "Iron Eagle" was yanking my chain?

[llevrok]

Now we will get to the bottom of things. Two council critters and the Mayor have shown up. Can Barry be far behind?

[sofaman]

Shitsky, that IS close to where we lived!

oh FGS, Sherri Lightner, the anti-Semite, just showed up. That chick is as much use as tits on a bull.

So, I’m sure FAA’s on their way to Coronado to review the tapes and talk to the Air Traffic Controllers there. It’ll be interesting to hear exactly how the situation unfolded. Hubby used to work ATC out of Coronado (and on the Constellation) back in the 80’s.

[TankerKC]

I guess we will see renewed calls to close Miramar...

[sofaman]

would ATC be out of Coronado, or Miramar? I thought Miramar did their own ATC. But what do I know?

[llevrok]

Lopped off the top of a Jacaranda tree? Well, here comes Green Peace for clear cutting protests.

[sofaman]

Marti Emerald, ex Channel 10 news anchor. She’s big enough to kick MY arse and I’m no ballerina. But a really nice lady.

[LaineyDee]

LOL!
