Genuine concern from the New York Times? You over-estimate them Ric.

This whole affair is just one of those things that makes you feel so disgusted to be part of the same species. I know nobody intended for this to happen, but to allow it based on nothing but greed and arrogance so ridiculous you'd think Moff Tarkin was the captain of the plane... and then the journalist blames Brazil's towers for it.

Screw them.

Just mentioning something at random here, since this IS the YIYF's long bridge club... There was this terrible air accident this friday, a plane coming from Manaus, a city at the north of the country, in the middle of the amazon, going to Brasilia (the capital, at the center of the country) had a mid-air colision with a Legacy air jet, severily damaging the 737-800 (which was delivered by Boeing a couple of weeks ago) and crashed almost horizonatally into the middle of the forest, killing 155 people among passengers and crew. The Legacy jet, with about 7 people aboard, was able to safely land in a nearby airport. The Legacy, which had 6 americans (including a New York Times reporter and the two pilots) and 1 brazillian was going back to the United States. They were flying on an unauthorized path and turned off some of the equipaments which showed their radar position and planes nearby so they could fly above their approved altitute.

What makes me angry is that this accident was absolutely avoidable, caused by the ignorance of the pilots (which were doing a demonstration to possible buyers and to the reporter who was doing a story on the airplane) and it happened for an air company I always fly with in and support, which had a 100% safety record until now. My praiers go to the families and to the 155 who perished


Wow that's terrible... What kind of moron flies a plain with instruments turned off in an unnaproved fliht path?

Good show, Yoda. Good luck on future shows.

Hey, just out of curiosity:

Me and Ricarliette played against each other on Mario Kart DS for the Nintendo DS earlier today (and he totally kicked my arse two thirds of the time).

..I seem to remember several other forumers here mentioning that they had a DS. Anybody else here interested in challenging me and/or Ric, just sound off and we can exchange those accursed Friend Codes. (Seriously, what was Nintendo thinking not allowing basic user-name searches?)
