  1. Anyone who walks on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico would get ill, they'd be under about 700 atmospheres of pressure and would be crushed up into a dense little ball of carbon.

  2.  @epic7224  You didn't think any one of the countless millions of Irish people in the world could be racist? Seems a bit far fetched, every group of people on Earth has the occasional bad apple.

  3. No, Nelson, any ship with weapons is a warship, a Battleship with a capital B is a specific ship class.

  4. In the UK coastguard you would release a corpse to make room for the living, space is very finite on a helicopter.

  7. Gymnastics Ireland apologised the very next day, it was the woman that was racist that didn't apologise for over a year.

  8. You can't cancel something like an in-progress airshow with just a few minutes to spare, if even one of those showcasing pilots was still in the path of that jet when it descended this could have been a catastrophe. It sounds to me that Allegiant were at fault on multiple points, failure to have sufficient emergency fuel onboard and failure to anticipate that a late takeoff could negate the use of the intended destination being the two most obvious faults. Whoever OK'd that aircraft to take off an hour late knowing that the destination already only had a 20 minute landing window for it should be sacked, possibly even prosecuted. As was already stated Allegiant had been made aware months prior that this airport would be a no-go outside of that window. EDIT: On top of that the airport itself should have known that there was a missed landing before they allowed the airshow to start, did no one at the airport think to find out if that aircraft had been rerouted? They let an airshow go ahead knowing there might be an aircraft out there headed towards them.

  9. BP drills because they are the best in the business, why does BAE Systems make all of Americas tanks and artillery and create things like the railguns and magnetic launch systems for modern US warships? It's because American companies can't.

  10. Yeah, I was gonna say that if her primary armaments are (rail)guns then she can be classed as a Battleship.

  11. Besides, if we hadn't poured oil in the gulf you'd probably have filled it with tea the next time someone made you cry.

  13.  @OscarOSullivan  Compared to the US it's not really litigious in any way.

  14. A one way ticket out of Vietnam? The guy already had three purple hearts in 7 months, by the sounds of it he would have been sewn back up and then immediately tossed back IN to Vietnam with a 4th.

  15. The truck driver did nothing wrong, it was the school bus driver who tried to turn around in the middle of a busy highway.

  18.  @ashton1952  Would those be the same ex colonies that were industrialised, given infrastructure, became wealthy and then upon declaring their independence chose to join a commonwealth of nations with us? Those same ex-colonies? The ones where we abolished slavery and gave people full rights around one century before any other European nation and 160 years before the United States finally got around to it in the 1960's? Someone almost definitely needs a history lesson, and a lot more than one by the sounds of it.

  19. Reporter: the body of the bus NEARLY sheared off ** Shows Bus frame almost separated from the chassis There I fixed it for you.

  20.  @bgamelson  Then how did El Al Flight 1862 cut cleanly through a rebar-reinforced concrete building in 1992? In fact how has every single time (in all of aviation history) that an aircraft made from aluminium or tin upon hitting concrete, steel or iron structures has entered and trashed the building? Usually irreparably. You are the one who should have stayed in school, then your grasp of physics would not be worse than that of someone in the first grade.

  25. If chem trails really did exist then how would you notice them? As whenever I look up all I see being left behind my aircraft are contrails, which are supposed to be there. there's no point in telling us to look up if you want point out how we're supposed to distinguish a chem trail from a contrail...

  26. The irony of hating an entire nation of people while taking an anti-hate stance. Incredible.
