It's a Stupid-80, not a Stooper-80.  As opposed to DL who has the SuperDuper 80s! Slow news days suck.

The guy now is "suprised that the airport is still open"! "There's still a lot of planes on that map! The airport is open?"

Bill's driving to work, and he called to tell me every news station on the XM is talking about this....... He's getting a good laugh out of it at least! (Laughing at the coverage, not the airplane itself.)

I'm watching the CNN stream on my computer. The tower reported the 4 helicopters at 900 feet. Someone else chimes in with "Vultures". Much laughter in the background as tower asks one of the planes if there are vultures in the area. Gee, it was more funny when I heard it... Looks like it is down with no issues... |

What's on the rear of the nose gear? Is that just a normal part on the MD80?

On CNN...paraphrased... "This is it ladies and gentlemen...wait, hold on...my producer is telling me this is NOT the plane in question, I repeat, this is not the right plan. We apologies for the misinformation!" 15 seconds later... "What? It IS the plane? Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we are again sorry for the misinformation, but this IS indeed the plane we are watching right now."   |

The funny part is that if you go onto CNN.com right now, there isn't even a mention of this even happening. -Rob |

Sensational journalism--nothing more. Did you guys see the Saturday Night Live skit where they made fun of CNN and Aaron Brown doing coverage of the Jetblue gear incident, when they showed the passengers watching the coverage on live TV! -----------------------------------------------------------------------  My anus is bleeding! |

If the plane left Palm Beach, why did they bring it down to MIA for the landing? Is it for the longer runway?
