GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.
Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.
The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry. [Reply]

I'm not arguing with anyone, dumbass. Read the thread. I have not posted ONE post calling their theories about the incident wrong or dumb. Others are arguing with me. I'm just pointing out their personal motivations. [Reply]

Frankie, if you stop acting like you're smarter than everyone else while posting proof of the complete opposite, maybe people wouldn't laugh at you so much. It's nothing personal, man.
You honestly thought BossChief's post was serious? You didn't detect even a hint of sarcasm? When people started to make fun of your uninformed, sensationalistic claim in OP (which was obviously based solely on the picture), you made up an argument that didn't exist (the "indestructible" part). I'm trying to help you understand why people don't give you the credit you think you deserve.
The only argument I remember having with you was about your extremely selfish posting style (when you come back and reply post by post to a thread that has already moved on beyond that point) so I don't know where this whole "agenda" against you theory is coming from, at least as far as I'm concerned.

This is EXACTLY what he meant by arguing with half-wits. [Reply]

Ummm, not everyone else. Just you and the usual cavemen like you who can't handle a "ferner" who is smarter than them. Case in point this very thread. I think and most reasonably logical people agree:
1- Airplanes, as well designed and aerodynamic as they are built are subject to incredible forces in flight.
2- Airplanes do get old. Most wind tunnel tests about their integrity are done with a certain number of flight factored in.
3- Total immaculate maintenance is necessary to keep them safe. Not all airlines do this. Especially if they are owned by countries like Trinidad or Iran.
4- ALL theories expressed here about why this particular accident happened hold water. To totally dismiss one is mega stupid, especially if one does it calling the other person dumb. You see what I mean? The very reaction speaks of one's lack of logic or purposeful and personally motivated condescension.
5- This thread and it's subject is not important enough to have a debate on. Starting one is personal assholery and enduring ass-hurt dating back to some other debate.
6- (1+2+3+4+5) = Frankie is the logical one in this unnecessary debate and you* are an asshole with a chip on your shoulder.

He's the premature ejaculat'r with the 3" poke at the gangbang strutting around like John Holmes.
The depth of Frankie's intellectual wit wouldn't fill the reservoir tip of a condom.
Slurpy-sales-Americans by culture want to feel "witty" or see themselves as clever tricksters. Frankie thinks he's a character in the boy and the Tiger.
Somebody please tickle the rest of us so we can laugh here.
Hey Iovagian, I have noticed too many half-wits of the CP have laughed at your mostly unfunny lines over the years and it has gotten to your head. Hate to break it to you dude, but you are not FAX or Rain Man. In fact quite the opposite. [Reply]

Frankie, no one is arguing that aircraft are indestructible. They aren't. But no commercial aircraft has EVER experienced a complete fuselage failure like the one shown in the OP while in flight.

Yes, it IS possible that fatigue could lead to a massive failure of the fuselage of a commercial aircraft, although this has never happened in over 80 years of commercial aircraft operations. Therefore, it is highly unlikely in the extreme that such a failure will happen in flight. Therefore, no Frankie, you don't need to worry about it happening. No more so than you do about monkeys flying out of your anus (which is also possible).
Thanks man. But no "OUT" is needed.
Also thank you for admitting that you are wrong. I'm not saying that your theory about this incident is wrong. I'm saying to hold steadfastly to ONLY your theory being right is wrong. [Reply]
