Airplane crashes make weird bookends to Bush's years in White House
Edited on Sat Jan-17-09 08:37 AM by cryingshame
September 11th, NYC is ground zero for plane attacks where thousands are killed. Catastrophic to an epic level.

Jan 15, NYC witnesses an incapacitated plane being ditched by its pilot into the Hudson River and everyone gets out safely. Catastrophe avoided.

Weird bookends.

1. I saw the Hudson River crash as a stand-alone metaphor....
.... for the Bush era as a whole: The gigantic belly flop of a flight to nowhere. That so people survived it could be considered a miracle of sorts; ok... I can kind of float with that idea for a while.

2. Death and destruction ushered him in; life and safety usher him out.

3. A lot of room for symbolism in this event.
According to the progression of the Equinox, we are currently moving out of the Age of Pisces...the chart for that reads violence and war, into the Age of Aquarius which reads peace and love.
