Playing chicken?

Not too familiar with the geography, but I think Cannon road runs along side Legoland -- correct?

10News has reported that at least one person was aboard each plane.

I would think so!

Don't remember. I'm in Idaho now...

Yup, on the north side of it... east of Car Country Carlsbad by the 5.

10News has reported that at least one person was aboard each plane.

Who is stupider? A reporter who thinks he has to report this fact, or a viewer who is surprised by it?

[Poohbah]

You are correct.

[Poohbah]

I was going to say, "NO KIDDING?"

Then again, one plane could have been a Predator or a Global Hawk...

Well... take your average TV "Journalist" and drop their IQ by 10 points; now you have SoCal Journalist.

Deduct another 10 points for the damage done to their IQ by the blow-dryer...

Darn. Prayers for all the victims and their families and friends.

10News has reported that at least one person was aboard each plane. I would think so!

I wonder if one of the planes had a bumper sticker that read, "In case of rapture this plane will be unmanned."

[dagar]

ROTFL!

10News has reported that at least one person was aboard each plane.

That figures. They call this reporting?

Ping. Anything?

CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Two single-engine private planes collided in flight Tuesday near a local airport in Carlsbad, federal officials said. There was no immediate word on injuries.

The planes collided around 1 p.m. about a mile from Palomar Airport, said Jerry Snyder, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Los Angeles.

Emergency crews were on the scene, about 30 miles north of San Diego. Snyder identified the two planes as a Beech Duchess and a Mooney MO20.

Your starting point should be the ambient outdoor temperature at midnight.

A Dutchess is not a single engine plane ...

Carlsbad emergency crews are responding to the scene, but initial reports have said that there are no injuries on the ground.

Given the previous statement, I wonder how to take this one.
