Except that there are a whole hell of a lot more people killed by drunk
drivers than by airplanes landing on freeways, so the sheer nonsense
factor of the post above undermines the credibility of the entire argument.


Oh yeah - that makes a lot of sense. So now crimes are prosecuted
only if they're commonplace.??? THINK


And -- just WHERE would *YOU* have had him land after running out of
fuel? It sounds to me as if the freeway was a good choice, if he
couldn't make the airport.

Running out of fuel is a different issue, as many here have posted. Both
he and his instructor have a lot of questions to answer.

BTW, this "Speeders & Drunk Drivers are MURDERERS" doofus advocates
driving well under the speed limit and other obnoxious behavior, all in
the name of "safety."
