GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

Frankie, even the smartest man on Earth is still a primate. I'm surprised you didn't know that. [Reply]
I just re-read the OP, and it just gets dumber every time.
A jet drives off a runway, careens down a hill and into a field, and has its fuselage break in two as a result. Frankie's take? "Holy shit! Good thing that plane wasn't 36,000 feet in the air when that happened".
What a fucking dunce. Does he just own the stupid thread? Of course not. After being called on his stupidity, how does he respond? By doubling down, naturally: "It could have been metal fatigue that caused the damage."
After being properly ridiculed for his obstinance, he not only clings to his "the guy who just received a lethal injection may have actually died from cancer" argument, he proceeds to claim to be one of the smartest people on the motherfucking planet.
Now, we all know that some of the smartest people on the motherfucking planet post here regularly, but they are the drafturbators. They are the ones who pimp Taylor Mays, Vernon Ghoulston, and Jimmy Clausen. To my knowledge, Frankie is not a member of that club of 4 minus 1.
As a result, we have a 50+ page thread that will stand as a monument to Frankie's intellect. Take from that what you will. [Reply]

Evidently, the odds of a flight-related accident are 1 in 1,600,000. In other words, if fuselages are prone to spontaneously snap in half, it has been a rare phenomenon as of late. In yet other words, we're overdue. [Reply]

You forgot the part where he claimed that he was talking about the Aloha flight the whole time, even though he never mentioned it until after someone else brought it up. [Reply]

Guys I think it's time to let Frankie make like his avatar and ride off into the sunset. He's forever damaged any credibility he ever had; we should just let it go at that. [Reply]

You honestly thought BossChief's post was serious? You didn't detect even a hint of sarcasm? When people started to make fun of your uninformed, sensationalistic claim in OP (which was obviously based solely on the picture), you made up an argument that didn't exist (the "indestructible" part). I'm trying to help you understand why people don't give you the credit you think you deserve.
The only argument I remember having with you was about your extremely selfish posting style (when you come back and reply post by post to a thread that has already moved on beyond that point) so I don't know where this whole "agenda" against you theory is coming from, at least as far as I'm concerned.
well, shit...
i guess i'm a selfish poster then because i do this all the time, like right now... [Reply]
