CNN at aprox. 9:20 PM, CDST

By accident, I stopped on CNN just as they were doing a story on the anniversary of the successful peace action at Nagasaki in 1945. They showed some older Japanese people as the female announcer, in a voice deep and wet with concern, told about today's moment of silence at 11:02 in commeration of the time in 1945 when "a B-52 dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki."

Those are funny images! Reminds me of an old Steve Martin news man skit ..."Tonight's forcast ... dark. With widely scattered light in the morning." LOL!

[N. Theknow]

It didn't get much notice other than the Providence Journal Sports section, but another CNN reporter asked for an interview with a Los Angeles sports figure close to the Lakers to get his views on Kobe Bryant's case.

Unfortunately, the Lakers had to refuse the reporter's request to interview Chick Hearn.

That and it's jet engines were very conservative on fuel!! Yep, thats it.

[Tokhtamish]

Yes, fast enough to generate a mini black hole and go back in time.

That B-52 must have looked quite a sight leaving the carrier deck on its mission.

We had B-52's in 1945? That was the best kept secret of WWII

It was more of the Lockheed Skunkworks stuff We just did not know about it yet...

So super secret that the people at Skunkworks did not even know that they existed yet!

I'd say it may have been an abbreviation (why such a long word for a short process?) of Central Daylight Savings Time. Not factually wrong, just not the normal acronym.

Just like Clinton wasn't a liar/perjurer/rapist I guess... and like that guy who shot all those people around Virginia was a highly trained 'sniper.' And like an unborn baby is just a 'fetus' and Schwarzenegger is a Nazi sympathizer and...Oh I could go on... the whole "assault rifle" misnomer...

Ping to you other guys...You might find this humorous.

ROFL!

[Terriergal]

lol!

[IYAS9YAS]

They'd be off by ten years if they did say that :^)

It was a B-26. The half-finished, experimental prototype B-52.

[Terriergal]

The Enola Gay took off from Tinian Island didn't it?

[Terriergal]

B-29 maybe?

[Terriergal]

oh and it was the Bockscar at Nagasaki not the Enola Gay, my error... the Enola Gay dropped on Hiroshima three days earlier.

[.cnI redruM]

Knowing the Clinton News Network, they probably aren't even aware the B-29 existed.

,,, humourous? HUMOUROUS?!!!!! In 1945 a guy with an American accent asked if he could take my 152C on short term lease for some aerial survey work and I haven't seen it since. It's probably lime green in the dark wherever it is.

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

It did indeed.

[Jason_b]

LMAO this has to be one of the funniest threads every. You guys are priceless.

So when does CNN get outsourced to India?

And now... back to our anchor at the New Delhi desk...
