Grellis if I knew what a ping was I might. The guy was Iranian, 27 and just got a license. That tells me volumes. No I think he panicked. It it truly amazing that no one was hurt. The asphalt looks like the labria Tar Pits. LOL And we just rebuilt the dang thing too.

Remembered some pilots that needed no further instructions than flying in a straight line.

A ping is when you call someone to a thread. When you said I was too fast for you, I assumed you meant that I showed up on the thread just before you had a chance to draw my attention to it--"ping" me to it. Yes, he very well could have panicked. That's the most likely cause of the accident. I don't, however, think that anyone considering a more sinister cause behind the accident should be wearing tinfoil, as at least one poster on this thread asserted. After 9/11, to not consider such a possibility strikes me as being naive in the extreme.
