Very cool. The top two look like refashioned train cars...

I'm not.

They're still dead. Life still dealt me a shitty hand. Looking for justice in a fucked up situation is idiocy.
Even the original comparison to the captain sinking with his ship is stupid. Yes, a captain should be the last to leave his ship. He has passengers and crew, who are ultimately in his care. Their welfare is his responsibility. If he gets them all off a sinking ship, why should he still go down with it?
The shit you people carry on with...

In yesterday's case, I prefaced after having more knowledge of the circumstances, that I thought the crew had done everything they could at the time. The crew, as you can imagine, feels tons of guilt. Ultimately, they're responsible for their aircraft and who it injures/kills.
In the San Diego instance, if you read the report, you'll see there were tons of errors, and 4 people didn't need to die. The pilot was a TRAINEE, with no experienced pilot with him (like yesterday).
By the way, SON is an integral part of that movie quote. I hope you get over it.

They don't glide like you are thinking they do.
when the fire goes out the jet falls.

The comment was made that 'They should have went down with their plane, much in the same way the retarded ship's captain should have went down with his ship.' My point was why should they have? The guy was doing what any good captain should do; Be responsible for the welfare of those in his care.
You're arguing with yourself and you're calling me moronic...assbiscuit

I haven't read any literature on it and I haven't watched the movie with any great attention. Not that I'd give the movie too much factual credence when it came to the topic at hand anyway. But from what I understand many passengers and crew went down with the ship. If the captain went down with it trying to save as many of those souls as he could, he has done an admirable, and honorable job. If he scarpered from it like the Italian dickwad a month or so ago, disregarding the welfare of those in his care, he's a low-life.
Second... your son: You have said you understand the jet won't glide. It's had a catastrophic mechanical failure. In effect, he can't control where it will land. You're ok with him riding it to the death, killing a student in his care? Because I would be forever asking myself why I didn't raise a smarter boy... There is no honour in stupidity.
Or is it because if he survived you'd be too scared to face the stupid people like yourself that victimised him for not being a martyr?
