Karma? - PLANE With Words "EELECT GEORGE W. BUSH" Crashes!

Thankfully, no loss of life. Hence, I feel free to mock.



Cargo plane ditches in Miami suburb lake
Two pilots rescued by boat from decades-old aircraft

AVENTURA, Fla. - A decades-old cargo plane went down in a lake in a Miami suburb Saturday, but the pilot and co-pilot climbed onto the fuselage and were plucked to safety by rescuers.

The Miami Air Lease plane — with the words “Eelect (sic) George W. Bush” running the length of the fuselage — had trouble with one of its two engines shortly after takeoff, said company office manager Alina Nodarse.

The pilots tried to return the Convair CV-340 to the Opa-locka airport about seven miles away but couldn’t make it and splashed down in Mall Lake, said Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Chris White. The lake is surrounded by condominium towers.

“They landed there like that to avoid the buildings,” Nodarse said after the rescued pilots checked in by phone.

I'm only thankful that the pilots did, to their credit, purposely crash into the lake, avoiding the condiminiums. And I feel sorry for the people whose luggage the plane was carrying.

But can these guys even spell?

Is this karma?

1. Karma indeed. Thanks for the laugh

Maybe they left off the "R" at the beginning? You know, reelect our fine president, being of the sort that would think he'd ever been elected.

12. It looks like they misspelled "elect" on both sides

3. I can care less about the owners but the plane is almost a musuem piece.

I hope it gets a new paint job after its hauled out and reparied.
Meanwhile it serves them right... omen ?

5. I wonder who

will be paying for the haul out?

Florida taxpayer perhaps. After all it is in their lake.

4. Nobody got hurt. So fire away.

Maybe it's a vocational training airplane for unemployed Bush voters. First they try spelling and then they learn aircraft maintenance.

BTW I feel sorry for the pilots who had to fly that thing. I'm sure they got laughed off the ramp.

6. It's a metaphor for what's going to happen to this country

after another 4 years of Bush's leadership.
