  1. Um, how is the controller telling a TOTALLY INEXPERIENCED passenger, in a life or death situation (!!), to casually just call another airport’s tower, on his CELL PHONE (!!) , when he’s trying NOT TO CRASH AND DIE?! Huh?! He’s scared, nervous, unsure: he doesn’t have time, or the steady nerves to multitask, or, to look for his cell and dial some number, without a writing instrument, while simultaneously “trying to slowly descend”, and keep the “wings level”, as instructed. That controller should literally be fired. I am flabbergasted. I guess he realized the above because he connected the passenger on the same frequency in which the guy called him. Unbelievable. SMH

    1. Just because you’re an air traffic control person doesn’t mean you know how to fly a plane. And even if he did, so many different planes and flying levels.

  2. Human Have Become Lower than Animals…

    What animals murder their own children? 
    This means that these so-called humans are lower than animals. Regarding abortion Srila Prabhupada writes are follows in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam,  5th Canto, Chapter 14, Text 9:
    The Supreme Personality of Godhead does not allow anyone to act against the stringent laws of material nature; therefore illicit sex is punished life after life. Illicit sex creates pregnancies, and these unwanted pregnancies lead to abortion. Those involved become implicated in these sins, so much so that they are punished in the same way the next life. Thus in the next life they also enter the womb of a mother and are killed in the same way. All these things can be avoided by remaining on the transcendental platform of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In this way one does not commit sinful activity. Illicit sex is the most prominent sin due to lusty desire. When one associates with the mode of passion, he is implicated in suffering life after life.”
    So, those who abort have to suffer the karma of being aborted.

    They Demand the Right to Murder their Children.

  3. What exactly is a ‘Florida airplane’?? Is it a really old airplane that used to live in NY?

  4. *Executive Decision (Halle Berry Voice) “Just fly the plane!!!” Amazing, safely exits the plane, no slug fest but a HUG fest ensues. Maybe there’s hope after all.*
