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]

Thanks for letting us know why these threads were merged. I was worried that they may have fused due to metal fatigue. Can you imagine if this would have happened in mid air? [Reply]

It's a cowardly practice, btw, when they do that and you, participated in this one. I hope you managed to endear yourself to them. As for me I only care to endear myself to people of class.
It's true that I made two posts that personally attacked (if you want to call it that) you or your family.
The first was the "Your and idiot" post, which I explained earlier is a Planet lexicon as a response to a person who has made an ignorant post or argument.
The second was the equivalant of a "your momma" joke.
If you want to equate that to a biggotry, then by all means, have at it. [Reply]

How safe are these threads we post in everyday? [Reply]

No, it points out the inherent racism deep within all of us. Some constantly think about it and fight it with logic and reason. You and your kind, bereft of powers of logic, just deny it and act indignant when yours has been dragged out in public. [Reply]

Fritz is Iranian, right? Why isn't he getting piled-on? [Reply]
Before I quit this pile of shit, I will say, as I have many times in the past, that you really go out of your way to paint a target on your ass. I don't know why you continue to engage the usual suspects and allow yourself to get sucked into these sad, tedious battles. I guess at some base level you must enjoy it. Personally, I believe these threads are an embarrassment to board, but they always seem to be popular. I don't get it. Of course, I don't get people who watch Jersey Shore or professional wrestling, either.
