A plane has crashed into the Hudson River. The news is just coming out.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's not good.

plane has crashed
Yikes! How awful.
Ashley Scott is kind of cute as a blonde on Dark Angel.
Oh yeah, I forgot she was on DA. Agreed, she was looking good, but I prefer her with the short dark cut.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I was just coming to say about the plane. Apparently they are getting the people out. [link]

Because books.
They're saying they hit a flock of geese, and an expert pilot on the air said Canadian geese can do a lot of damage. That ... surprises me.

They are blaming the crash on the Canadians, well their geese anyway. Scary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like I've heard WWII stories about some specific bird flying into plane engines a lot, but I would have thought the machine design now would guard against that....

So far, it sounds like everyone got off the plane OK.
