TransAsia Dashcam goes bust

Dramatic dash-cam footage in Taiwan shows a TransAsia Airways plane scraping past a major highway moments before it careened into a shallow river, killing at least 26 people.  It was almost movie like. That's scary... With all the failed (or missing) planes over the last couple of years, I have a feeling there is a serious personnel problem within all these companies. Whether they have been hiring inexperienced people, letting go higher paid experienced people, or gotten just plain lazy I don't know - but there is clearly a problem worth investigating.
 
The crash marks the second tragedy involving one of TransAsia’s French-made ATR 72 planes in the past year. In July, a flight crashed while attempting to land on the island of Penghu off Taiwan's coast, killing 48 people and injuring another 10. 
 
But let’s be real here, for a plane to go down right after take-off with a pilot with such high numbers of flight hours is highly unusual. Did the pilot do everything he could? This reminds me of losing control of your car. Your instincts and experience take over, but very quickly you realize you can only do so much. I couldn't imagine what those passengers went through, especially those who had the misfortune of the window seat giving them a full view of the road and passing cars.

Oh Lord Allah, there’s a fire

The burning alive of the Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasaesbeh inside a cage by ISIS clearly and publicly states that there is no god or religion involved. The Islamic religion forbids burning of the human body, dead or alive. This is what happens when morons interpret scripture. They either need to be educated or annihilated. God is out of the picture – He wants no part of ISIS

This killing was not done yesterday. The video must have been recorded a month ago as reported by Jordanian authorities. That´s why Jordan wanted prove of his existence. The graphics and the way the video is made are like a movie and must had taken a bit of time to make. The pilot was killed long before and they were just playing psychological games with the Jordanians.


They are nothing but glorified sadistic murderers who use the Muslim religion to hide behind their barbaric attacks on innocent people. The time has come to totally destroy ISIS and other terrorist organization, whether Muslim or not. If they are violent in any way they must be killed period. Allowing for them to gain a foothold and carry out the crimes that they have been should have every American angry that their government hasn't stepped in to wipe them out. Pussyfooting only makes them stronger and more bodies to be added to the funeral pyre that is Iraq.
 
Why is the United States taking so long to do something? They spend so much time on the petty things that there seems to be nothing for the big things. People are being brutally murdered on film and yet all the American government does is talk about how horrible it is. Stop talking and do something!

Ventura the Hero - NOT!!!!

"AmericanSniper" is tops at the box office but don't expect to see former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura lining up at a theater for it.  Ventura, a former Navy SEAL, won $1.8 million in a defamation lawsuit last year against the estate of the late Chris Kyle, the SEAL protagonist of the movie, which has sparked debate over whether snipers should be considered heroes.  Ventura said Wednesday he won't see the film partly because Kyle is no hero to him.

It is a movie, not a documentary so everyone lighten up.  If you don't want to see it, then don't.

It is based on an actual story, but as all movies of this like they do not claim to be factual and irrefutable.  Poetic license as usual.  I don't really think anyone stood on the bow of the Titanic or you can get 20 shots out of a revolver like the westerns.  It was made to make money and it is apparently doing that.

I am more inclined to believe Kyle than Ventura.  Kyle is not the experienced liar that Ventura is. After careers as a professional wrestler and a politician, Ventura has lying perfected as an art form.  The "honorable" thing for Ventura to have done, after Kyle was killed, would have been to have accepted the fact that his lawsuit against Kyle's wife and children was dishonorable in and of itself, drop the whole matter and asked her what she needed from him to help look out for the kids.
