So, from what I understand, the liberals are taking this as a stupid comment from Romney, but it seems to make sense that if the pressure drops, you get oxygen, but you can't get it when there's a fire, and you can't open a window, so it creates a dangerous situation. How do I counter my liberal friends who are now harping on this?

Ask them why airlines provide flotation devices over land but not parachutes?

More Daily Show bullsh*t...

Romney’s wife was just in a situation that could have been a burning aircraft.

Everyone who flies at one time or another has given thought to potentially being trapped in an aircraft, with few options for escape. Those of us in the know always look for the locations of the aircraft crash axes aboard every US commercial aircraft, when we get aboard. Civilian window breakers are widely available online, too. (I used to carry one)

Just because John Stewart and the liberal media are hypocrite idiots, doesn’t mean that those of us who fly often don’t think about things like that.

Hate to burn up with no chance to get out on my own, stuck behind a bunch of panicking sheep at the doors. How about you?

Remember AC797, that burned in Cinci? I do, I was there that day. Remember British Airtours Flight 28, that burned at Manchester?

Sorry, but this attack line just p***es me off. The mainstream media is trying to pigeon-hole Romney as an idiot.

...The plane had climbed to 17300 feet over Didcot, Oxfordshire. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the fuselage quickly filled with condensation. The left windscreen, on the captain's side of the cockpit, had separated from the forward fuselage. Lancaster was jerked out of his seat by the rushing air and forced head first out of the cockpit, his knees snagging onto the flight controls. This left him with his whole upper torso out of the aircraft, and only his legs inside. The door to the flight deck was blown out onto the radio and navigation console, blocking the throttle control which caused the plane to continue gaining speed as they descended, while papers and other debris in the passenger cabin began blowing towards the cockpit. On the flight deck at the time, flight attendant Nigel Ogden quickly latched his hands onto the captain's belt. Susan Price and another flight attendant began to reassure passengers, secure loose objects, and take up emergency positions. Meanwhile, Lancaster was being battered and frozen in the 500 mph slipstream, and was losing consciousness due to the thin air...

I watched a Navy pilot die in an at-sea practice dive-bombing run. He passed out due to G-forces in pulling out of the dive.

Next thing to happen was the G-Suit, and it happened quick.

Mitt Romney pulls in $6 million at Beverly Hills fundraiser...

Six million?

Perhaps he should crack a few more jokes.

Most airliners have flight deck windows that can be opened in flight.

I own an airplane with a proper roll down window..glass pane too.

You could tell them that America is that Airplane and there is no way to get out of the fire. You have to put it out together in Nov.

Pray for America

The Leftists cannot do anything but spin their bullshit.

They know Obama is toast, but they crave a dictator that will punish the producers and let us move into a USA that resembles Detroit with 90% bureaucrats and 10% military.

Millionaires who support Obama, you cannot fix suicidal.

and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem.

Nice to see his sense of humor...very funny stuff there.
