I've had enough of this thread. Discussing airliner crashes with people clueless about aviation is like trying to carry on a conversation with a brick.

I don't know about you, but I like my news spoon fed from Paige Hopkins... WOW!!

[texasflower]

I remember that. The Discovery Times channel shows that periodically.

Thanks for the link.

I remember during the cold war "Illness" and "extended vacation" being used a lot instead of "comrade killed my boss".

CNN Reporting large fire found, may be second plane...

Hi newbie :)

Answering my own question....

According to reports by the Homeland Security Department's inspector general and congressional auditors, bomb-screening machines do a much better job detecting weapons in checked baggage if they're integrated with airports' in-line baggage-handling systems.

But only eight airports have done that.

In May, the Transportation Security Administration wasn't electronically screening all checked bags for bombs at airports, as Congress ordered. At some airports, the agency hasn't been able to screen 100 percent of checked baggage 100 percent of the time for hundreds of consecutive days, congressional investigators say.

TSA Acting Assistant Administrator Randy Null told the congressional subcommittee that half weren't complying with the law because of equipment problems and half because of staffing shortages or lack of trained screeners.

You appear in denial. It sounds like he was YOUR Governor.
And he is now. He did not resign, did he?
Perhaps groundtruthing in NJ for its REAL Governor
is not quite unlike finding out:
did the 2nd plane (if it existed(s)) crash
or also lose radar contact within 4 minutes of the first crashed plane?

Good.

The news stations get their stuff from the same place we do, we just get it faster!

Grin...that's true, but hadn't thought of it.

Re:I've had enough of this thread.

I'm happy we didn't lap up your musings.
Have a nice day.

"I seem to recall something akin to that happening to two airliners after departing Boston about three years ago."(diogenes ghost)

Maybe some of y'all who are as old as me will remember this. Didn't the hardline commies attempt a coup of Gorbechev while he was on vacation? I'm having a serious case of deja-vu here.

AP says it will be updating: fire spotted near Rostov-on-Don, where second plane went
missing. Putin has ordered an investigation.
