Plane crashes into building in NYC (DOES NOT LOOK LIKE TERRORISM @ 1:59 P.M. CST)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I wonder if the other people that got hurt and the people that own the appartments will sue for damages since he was not qualified to even fly

How was he not qualified? He earned his license.

[ducks]

not to fly in overcast weather

wasn't instrument qualified
thefore he was not qualified

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

It gets even worse. He was only VFR rated and wasn't instrument qualified. No way he should have been flying in that overcast.

Cosmic, any piloting info you can give would be great. I don't know a thing about stuff like that.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

not to fly in overcast weather

I just saw CC's statement.

[ducks]

ok
we are cool for now

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Oh, damn.

ESPN says Lidle's wife is/was on a commercial flight and that's why they've been unable to notify her.

Very sad.

Jeremy Schaap says Lidle reported to NJ airport that he was having fuel problems.

Wife and/or son not on plane with Lidle. On commercial flight to Los Angeles.

Why not pull the chute? We need someone with flight experience...

Are you really trying to say that you scooped the story on Spurstalk?

I am saying I posted the fuel problem before you did

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

I am saying I posted the fuel problem before you did

I'd like to reiterate how much of a son-of-a- you are.

You think I really give a about scooping anybody or anything in a plane crash.

Yao Ming's ed-up foot, maybe....

A plane crash, well, you really are a dumb mother er.

Umm... I think you are taking this a little bit to seriously. Ducks just pointed out that it was already posted by him a few pages ago. Several people have pointed out other things that were re-posted in this thread and you aren't going off on them. So maybe you need to rein it in a little bit.

Yeah, because this... is totally just saying the info was already out there.

[Kori Ellis]

So you go into a "mother er" tirade over an emoticon? Get a in' grip.

I didn't say anything to them because I don't care what other people say to other people. Ducks is that he "scooped" me.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

This isn't the first time he pulled this on me before, but you know what...it's dropped until the next time and a more appropriate thread.

[FromWayDowntown]

Yeah, because this... is totally just saying the info was already out there.

For what it's worth, I found that to be inappropriate, given the nature of the story and the discussion.

People died. Who cares who got what information posted first?

[Kori Ellis]

I didn't say anything to them because I don't care what other people say to other people. Ducks is that he "scooped" me.

Ahh .. so it's your ego about getting scooped because you are a reporter.

Okay .. carry on with your childish reaction.

Hopefully later you can re-read this and realize how much you overreacted. If not, then I think maybe you have a lot of growing up to do that I didn't realize.

No one cares. That's probably why Blaze should have just ignored the emoticon rather go into a mother er tirade.

No, Kori, it's not my ego about being a reporter, it's what apparently he thought would irk me when he posted what he did. Apparently, Ducks cared enough to go , though.

But since these thoughts are all happening in the span of a minute, again, I'm dropping it.
