Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Sunday (American Style)
Yeah..........I haven't seen the paper yet but the TV news this AM carried a story. Now that we've had it happen at least three times I guess they figure it's time to up the "billing." Even so, it was about 7 or so stories deep. The leading story of course is Dumbya's upcoming speedh today aboard the carrier Abraham Lincoln. And since the carrier is too far out for Marine One, he's flying in for a deck landing aboard a Viking (in the front seat next to the pilot no less) which is the first time a President has made a jet landing on a carrier's deck. Does anyone have some statistics regarding the incidence of trap-wire failure on carriers?
