Just because a plane has two engines doesn't mean you have to use both of them ... :)

"Cannon road runs along side Legoland -- correct?"

Correct.

I still remember Ashley Banfield on September 11th asking dust-covered choking people what it was like inside the WTC and if they "had to step over any bodies, or anything?".

That was the first I had ever seen Ms. Banfield. First impressions are lasting impressions alright...

So where will the survivors be buried?

she's an idiot ... first time I saw her she was fawning over Yassir Arafat ... right in the middle of all the attacks on Israelis ... like, duh, fer sure Ashley ... that was enough for me ...

UPDATE!

There are three fatalities in the crash. Both pilots and a passenger. Just reported on KCBQ

'all passengers made it to the ground."

And it wasn't the fall that killed 'em - it was that sudden stop.

Prayers for the dead and their families and friends.

[PsyOp]

Absolutely.

I think it would have more interesting to have Egypt Air clear to land on 360L.

The Mooney looked very similar to this:

A beautiful plane, and great to fly. Hate to see one down.

[PsyOp]

;-]

I've flown in them (as a passenger) a few times. They're like a sportscar. Also almost affordable...

10News has reported that are at least one person was aboard each plane. Fatalities have been confirmed by rescue workers, but it is uncertain how many may have died.

Here is some critical thinking. I bet atleast 2 people have died in that horrific crash..... I don't know if the news guys understand where I came from there...

Thanks for posting this. I live about three miles from this airport.

You're welcome. Carlsbad is a beautiful place. The pic on your profile page reflects it.

My brother lives on the lagoon.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Yes, it is a very nice place to live.

One of my son-in-laws is in law enforcement here. He is not working today but maybe he can give me some more details. It's worth a call.

If I learn anything new, I'll post it.

My brother lives on the lagoon.

Really. So does my mom. I live right above the lagoon and Snug Harbor.

[b4its2late]

Yep. Been there several times over the last few years. Hoping to go with the family next summer. Used to love hanging out at Dooley McKluskys, puttoing down a few Dark n Tans and now the place seems to be the Grand....
