wrote in Message-Id: dGfVa.687$Ho3.440@sccrnsc03: I believe that terrorist group line was a bit of sneaky reportorial wit that really shouldn't have gotten into the story, because irony never works with newspaper readers, who tend to be literal-minded in reading hard news stories. Wit is difficult to accomplish with a diverse audience unless it's based on a universal subject like sex. But labeling the remark as humor lends it an air of appropriateness. It wasn't. What I really wanted to know was where the airplane (in the news photo it looked like a Super Cub with drooped wingtips, a combination I've never seen before) landed. Could a droopy-tip Cub land on the X'd runway or did it land on the taxiway? And is it still there?
