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]
Why pile on? All Frankie said is he believes that this COULD happen. He's right too, anything COULD happen. The Titanic sunk didn't it?

Yeah I'm sure your wish and command is respected and carried out by all. You have 11000+ posts. Just another one of CP cowards who hide behind a different username, every time their assholery becomes too much for the rest, so they can keep up their BOLD comments like this.
Am I disappointed that this place has hit such a low that a sensitive personal matter becomes the subject of personal jokes and low life comments of comic wannabes and ass hurt losers losers? Yes I am. Am I going to finally give up on this forum? I may. But If or when I leave, it will not be because losers like you feel brave behind your keyboard. It will because I and I alone will decide on it. And IF I leave it will be quietly and with no announcement.
Now go back to eating you bugger before this thread interrupted it. [Reply]

When you have been a full Colonel and are forced into a situation to push brooms and be called a "N****r" your dreams about the move you made for yourself and your family crumbles and it's easy to act out your anger and impatience, hurting your family (never physically mind you). [Reply]

That flight didn't break up due to metal fatigue or poor maintenance. A fuel tank exploded.
I think people pile on Frankie because he refuses to back down or concede that he might be mistaken. I've participated personally because the incident referenced here has zero to do with any airborn plane catastrophe in the history of recorded flight. [Reply]

He retired and emigrated 7 years before the revolution. After his military experience and fighting corruptness there that cost him a couple of promotions, he thought this was his chance to leave a corrupt situation and live out his life in the land of dreams. Didn't anticipate a new regime and that it would cut off his pension. Hence forced to take jobs he considered below his dignity, like the character in the movie. [Reply]
