if you were in a building and were told simply that an airplane was

heading at it,
you'd most likely exit the building as well.

At least, I would.


Yes, but hopefully not with an pompous attitude towards others also
trying to exit the building.


You are absolutely correct. You'd think the heroes who are sending people
like my brother off to fight in Iraq would have slowed down to HELP the
tourists out of harm's way. Not complain that they got in the way.

Reminds me of a B-17 crash report I read once. The flight engineer was
knocked to the deck in the impact and the pilots ran right over the top of
him to escape the airplane. Somehow he found a polite way to describe being
walked over in the incident report.

if those wackos (politicans) feel that they are so important and need
protection: bring them down in a submarine or something. They shouldn't be
allowed to interrupt everyday life (they already interrupt life with their
decisions).
this thread is part of the job description. if you can't stand it don't
take this job.
