Obama's Plane Scare

Good thing nothing tragic happened, or else the 9-11 conspiracy nuts would have found "evidence" of a right-wing plot.

Hey "Too Funny," you didn't read far enough. I agree the MD80 is a clunker, but this particular plane was also a loaner - from HRC! Go figure - I draw no conclusions here.

brother, we got it, it was serious...yet when Bush almost choked they called him a drunkard....Had BO injured himself, theyd be out saying prayers and begging for the new messiah to rise from his bed and talk about "hope and change"

ANYTHING THAT INHIBITS THE CONTROL CABLES IN ANY AIRCRAFT IS SERIOUS.

LET'S ALSO THINK ABOUT THE FLIGHT CREW, THE OTHER 44 PASSENGERS AND THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND, AS WELL AS THE STATE OF THE NATION, OUR NATION.

HOW CAN ANYONE THIS THIS IS AMUSING?

HAVE WE SUNK TO THAT LEVEL AS AMERICANS?

I HAVGE BEEN FLYING LONGHAUL FOR 30 YEARS ON BIZ.

2-4 TIMES A MONTH

VERY REGULARLY

MY EASTERN AIRLINES PLANE WAS STRUCK BY LIGHTNING IN '83 THAT PUT A HOLE THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR IN THE FUSELAGE.

BLEW OUT THE LIGHTS AND WE WERE NEVER TOLD TO 'ASSUME THE CRASH POSITION'.

SO THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS EVENT.

Surprisely, Senator Obama and his supporters did not blame the plane's problem on Senator McCain or Senator Clinton. Bet those people was glad he didn't make the say-nothing speech appointment.
Now an Obama supporter is saying this was intentional. Someone is delusional.

Well, it appears to have served its purpose of keeping B. Hussein Obama in the newspapers for another 24 hours!

The real question is why St.Louis? They took off out of Midway with "control issues". Why did they not come back around and land at Midway or divert to O'hare. And since they were flying from Chicago to Charlotte NC, Indianapolis airport was more in line with the flight path then St. Louis.

rock on obama. Stand for change and change is our stance!!!

Always impressed with the quality of the comments on these stories. Wow. Just, wow.

Boris: I am going to tell you the same thing, WHO CARES ABOUT HIS PLANE? That should have been checked before he was on it and they would have found it right away but even if it was to be foul play I personally am not going to cry over it. There were better people than him that were planes that crashed. How about the most decorated soldier of world war II. He lived thru all of that but in time he was killed when the plane crashed. Its no big deal, he's not the president yet.

If Obama thinks he is the Messiah why isn't he walking on the water and giving miracles. He is extremely conceded about himself and so sure of what he's going to be but beneath him is a underhanded crooked person who was a racist, disliked whites and anti-american. Now, he wants to wear the flag pin. He makes me laugh. True American's of this country would not vote for a candidate like Obama which means that all the voters of this country that voted for Obama cannot and never will be true American's.

I don't understand the commentors on this board. No one knows what is going to happen to them when they walk out their door in the morning, in a car or a plane. I was in a plane several years ago that couldn't land and circled the airport for over an hour. There also was a plane that circled and crashed at the airport. Politicians are not criminals and are not going to damage their career over a plane. Get real and grow up. Like one commentor said, that could be a warning from GOD to bring Obama down to level instead of acting like he is God's gift to creation. And he is not the Messiah, an abomination of God. People are the sometimes the cause of destruction but the things they say or do.

J. Let me go on record to say, WHO CARES. I am not going to get frantic because Obama's plane had problems. This is the way of life. That's why we have mechanics to take care of those problems. Get a grip. Planes are crashing all the time. Haven't you read the newspapers lately? No one in the political field is trying to kill Obama. Maybe eventually the KKK might try or some maniac with a medical problem. Get real.

To all of the conspiracy theorists. The only conspiracy here is to get stupid people to believe that there is a conspiracy. The sooner you dummies realize that your fellow Americans are not your enemies, the sooner we can take our country back. So, shut up with the stupid conspiracy stuff if you want to be treated like intelligent citizens who make intelligent decisions with their votes. Or we are all going to lose this great country of ours.

This was just a practice run. If Obama is dumb enough to name Hillary VP, Air Force One will meet the bottom of the Atlantic.

She's smart enough to let him fizzle on his own. You people are so ridiculous with this nonsense it's Hillary's fault.

I flew the MD-80 for 10 years. For the evacuation slide to deploy the tailcone has to be jettsioned. It's pretty big. I wonder where it landed. If the aft airstair door is opened with the slide armed, the tailcone will jettsion automaticly and the slide will deploy. It would be impossible to open the aft airstair door with the aircraft pressurized. There is a red handle on the slide for manual inflation but you have to be on the walkway to reach this handle. If the tailcone were to fall off and the slide were deployed, the slide would rear off. The missing tailcone would cause some buffeting but it would not endanger the aircraft.

God gives his warnings and then he takes action. When False Profits bare false witness, it eventually comes to a head. God has already dealt with some of those that are responsible for helping him to spread his falsehoods,he better take notice and quit acting like he is the Messiah and people better stop worshiping him as such and the press had better stop spreading his falsehoods for him because the Karma will be on them also.

I just thought of something. Maybe Hillary was standing next to him with Kryptonite!

This was obviously sabotage by one of GW's people. Seriously, the market will go up the day GW leaves office. The real story here is the outsourcing of Aircraft Maintenance to foreign soil.
No FAA or DOT mandated drug tests for foreign Technicians.
