It seems like he did, the Yankees got rid of him quickly enough after it came out :)

"Lots of suggestions of that on FreeRepublic, Bloomberg needs to check here before speaking."

That's exactly why we DON'T need people who are unfamiliar with FR coming here in emergencies... The amount of bizarre theories and un-thought out comments that pop up are almost becoming an embarassment.

Yeah, I heard that. But how does someone get their pilot's license with 75 hours of flight time?

You would think with all the terror attacks, bombings etc etc that have gone on in New York city for the past 40 years, we`d get at LEAST one that would be of great benefit! But nooooo! The New York times stands no matter what! lol!

It's all so clear now!!!!

Just one problem with your theory, you can't really call the Texas Rangers a baseball team after the all-star break.

Shep is unwatchable, so I went to CNN during that time, and they were begging for it to be a ratings boost with more to the story.

So the GovernmentShrinker is suggesting increased regulation in the interest of a little more increased security. The immortal words of Ben Franklin suddenly come to mind...

Building is being reoccupied, except for people on those two floors.

What I haven't seen mentioned is the amazing fire integrity of that building.

I watched the whole event, and as far as I could see, the (visible ) flames never spread beyond the apartments that were initially involved. From FDNY reports, all the folks above the two (or three) affected floors got out OK -- which means that the smoke was well contained, as well.

And now, they are already re-occupying the building. That sounds like one well-designed and built structure!

It was also interesting to see the water from the firefighters coming from the inside out. Those FDNY firefighters are some brave, tough dudes! Great jobs by the emergency responders on this one!!!

Good grief. One accident out of thousands that happened on the roads today and you want to do the "regulate" thing? Do you have a pilot's license? Do you have a vehicle license? I can ask asinine questions too.

Why is it when tragedy strikes, so many want new laws? I want the government out of my business. We got too many laws on the books, too many regulations for everything we do. Should we have a new tax to help with the demand for new regulations??

Sorry, I don't subscribe to your knee jerk reactions of creating more laws based upon random happenings and in the process subscribe to having more of my freedoms ripped away.

Just my opinion.

you didn't answer the question, so here it is again, a little slower and with an example:
School shooting. Children slain. Pandering politician calls for "stronger" gun control laws.

Do you support these sorts of calls?
Is this in any way different from what the Bo Dietls of the world are yapping about? If so, how?
Have a nice day.

Most pilots who crash in water die while still unconcious. Some wake up for a moment, after it is too late to do anything about their lungs being full of water. Cant imagine a more terrifying death.

Actually, according to the records landing in the water (crashing) is extremely survivable. Your characterization is incredibly inaccurate. You need to familiarize yourself with the NTSB records. I doubt I have ever read where anyone woke up with their lungs full of water.

I am just glad he didn't veer out of control when he was circling the Statue of Liberty. Then you would have some real General Aviation regulations with no stopping it friend.

I know the question wasn't aimed towards me, but I would say resoundingly NO. Can't believe people want freedom taken away from themselves and others so easily.
