^ Wow! So the SUV hit the car twice! Medical issue maybe?
Possibly. I thought maybe the initial impact hosed their steering. Collisions elicit quite an array of "odd" responses from humans. It was surprising to learn how many people back-up after they thought they hit something, "to see if they really did". If the initial strike isn't fatal... the reverse trick definitely is:oops:

The headline says: "Korean man who opened plane door mid-flight......"
The story says: "he opened the emergency door 700 feet in the air as the plane was landing. "

I don't know that I'd believe anything that article says.
700 feet up at mid-flight??? 700 feet up while landing???

My grandmother, at 92 years of age, hit a parked car while parking in a lot. Backed up and hit a car behind her. Then went forward again and hit the first car again. She still didn't give up her licence until she crashed on the ramp into her condo parking.

What in the last 3 years would lead you to question a journalist?

One less contributor to the gene pool.....several million to go, sadly. :confused:

His family is blaming a nurse that responded, as if they had no responsibility in trying to get him to quit. Maybe that's one way to assuage your guilt by passing blame; these days it's always someone else's fault.

I put this here because quite frankly, its a DAMN DUMB IDEA! I can't believe the FAA approved this. Wonder who's pocket got lined for this...what a death trap.

Well, it's being offered by a Peoples Republik of Kalifornia company....'nuff said.

I'd spring for the "hydrogen option".....maybe it could be designed to disintegrate the whole $%&@ thing to powder when it fails as it plunges from 12,000 feet and before it lands on the home of an innocent family. :headbang:
