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]

Then why did you link an article discussing an accident that had NOTHING to do with airline maintenance practices? [Reply]

Another genius chimes in. :-) You didn't read my posts that addressed that, did you. Or did you read them and did not understand? [Reply]
No way in hell this fuselage that you have pictured breaks up like this no matter the maintenance. It would take an outside variable or inside if the sandals get lit. [Reply]

Credibility is in the mind of the beholder. And it's well affected by the said beholder's petty instincts such as, envy, bigotry, etc. [Reply]

If there were any mistake on my part it was in my wording. But I will not leave unanswered ridicules by half-wits who did not give THAT a little thought in their blind rush to "prove" THIS "FERNER" is less intelligent than them. That's why I'm still here and adamant in seeing it through.
I learned long ago on this forum that I cannot afford to embolden the chimps.

The chances of a commercial aircraft having a catastrophic fuselage failure (like the one you posted in the OP) are so incredibly unlikely (as demonstrated in it never happening in 80 years of flight) that you having an IQ of 159 is more likely.

Errr, the aircraft accident you posted wasn't caused by poor maintenance. [Reply]
The failure is in the middle of the 43 section. There are no join areas remotely close to the damaged area. Maintenance had absolutely nothing to do with this incident. [Reply]

Oh Donger has been buzzing around me like a fly around a doughnut for years. He does have an obsession with me. A good 90% of my posts get this treatment from him.
Actually, strangely enough, he was a lot more charming earlier - even to the point of admiring my Shakespearean quotes. :-) Then he was shocked to find out I was not a female poster. That's when his attitude changed.

Comedic, no?
Donger can certainly be a tool, but he's smart. You're not smart, Frankie. [Reply]

Wow, that's just plain creepy. How did you ever come up with that? [Reply]

He's looking for a job as a lawyer. Has passed the bar and everything. He's even been advised to remove his Mensa membership from his resume. Because one potential employer, who's an idiot like you, has already wondered, "If he has such a high IQ, why is he looking for a job with us?!" :-)
It would be funny if it were not so sad and pathetic, like your posts and your fellow cavemen in this thread. [Reply]
