It looks like the obstacle approach clearance is about 200 feet.

Now this just off the wi

Looks like the Lord and some luck allowed everyone but two a second chance.
One passenger and the pilot didn't make it.

Incredibly - and this luck has held twice in five days now for
aircraft laden with A1 - the fuselage didn't conflagrate.

There's another report today of the miraculous escape of nearly all on
board on another aircraft; two people died (pilot one of them,
sadly)... http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe....ap/index.html.
The cause of the crash is very, very rare - a wing coming off!

That's not in the least bit incredible. Mostly they don't catch fire,
particulalry in this sort of accident.

Why don't you just go to Nascar races?

You seem to identify with it a little quicker.

Did you and Anthony attend school together?
