The fifth one this month; it seems like a lot to me.

1. protracted 'Left behind' story Line

god's too busy to caLL everyone up on one day.

2. Perhaps overall unusually high tempeatures. not necc. at time of crash but

in a wear and tear type way... putting strain on parts/instruments. A subtle effect of glob. warming?

3. i dunno, but i'm glad mine landed!

i was not looking forward to that flight!

[Shell Beau]

4. I'm glad too! I remember you being a little worrisome!

[bicentennial_baby]

6. yeah, we had a bunch of turbulence too, over the Atlantic

:scared: it's one thing to ust die in a plane crash, but i reallllly don't wanna do it over water!! :)

8. I hear you. Your chances are next to none!

:scared:

5. don't get too worked up...

people travel more in the summer (yes, I know it isn't summer in Peru, but...)

I think it's a more casual than causal relationship, if you know what I mean.

[Shell Beau]

7. Yeah, I know. I hope so. It just

seems like I've heard a lot about crashes lately!

9. Don't tell me this

I'm hopping on a plane tomorrow evening...

12. None have been American Air, I don't think!

13. * whew *

hopefully they're not Northworst, either

(yes, I know they're on strike, but when your airport is MSP you don't have many options anymore, since NWA occupies 80%+ of the gates).

10. Nothing apparently....

I mean upwise, that is....

I'm getting nervous as hell about going to D.C. :hi:

11. I wonder if it's because the planes are getting older.

:shrug:

14. Maybe a coincidence. Or, maybe reduced maintenance

standards.

[Shell Beau]

15. That is what I was thinking. With all these

airlines having financial problems and having to cut back on things.
