tomblin 0 #2 July 28, 2002 A Fedex Boeing 727 crashed trying to land in Tallahassee, FL.....even though the plane was completely destroyed the crew walked away, so I guess that would make it qualify as a "good" landing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkzone 0 #3 July 28, 2002 Update It appears it was an Ilyushin airliner capable of carrying over 300 passengers. Fortunately it was flying with just a crew of 18 sadly 17 of which perished. Far away is close at hand in images of elsewhere. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

christoofar 0 #9 July 29, 2002 QuoteIt does make a point for the fact that skydivers are safer in the air than anyone is on the ground. These days I wonder what the word "safe" means anymore. Perhaps it's.. 'a sense of (false) security after taking established precautions?' Y'all better thank y'alls lucky stars I'm not the one setting your insurance premiums! ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.
