I didn't fly again for almost 10 years, and I white-knuckled it the whole way. I had been a very sanguine flyer before that.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

They're interviewing one of the passengers on CNN -- he's sure that everyone got out OK.

That happened to me with TWA 800, which was my standard transatlantic for years.

Gothamist is running slow, but SFGate seems to have some of the same incredible photos - including those of passengers standing on the wings!

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

Just crazy. My friends who work at 36th and 10th, on the 7th floor, said they just watched the plane float on by.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez louise -- I have been slightly aggravated with an unavailable coworker all week, but then I heard she had had "a medical emergency" on Monday night, and has been "working from home" since, so I thought, OK. Then I just heard she was in a car accident, so I thought that was the emergency, but no! Turns out she's been having gall bladder problems all week and THEN had the car accident today. Yikes!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
mac and I were on the westside with a million emergency vehicles whizzing by - now I know why. I am glad everyone seems to be ok. Crashes into water don't have a great record for survivals.
