"I wasn't making a blanket statement about all Amish..." Let's go to the video tape:

Um. No. #science #fail

That makes sense—thanks for letting me know. I am not a big fan of riding in small planes, but on a nice day a flight to Provincetown or Nantucket would be awfully nice.

Love the little King Air (?) that lands at about 0:34 downfield. Just zips in there. And then it, or another King Air, takes off at 1:30-ish with nowhere near the climb, turns right and seems be thinking "I gotta get out the way of these wicked fast jets."

Telephoto lens—serious foreshortening.

Wow, and now everyone's a geotechnical engineer, too? Amazing the skill set here. Yes, there was a failure here. Perhaps it could have been engineered. Or it could have been better built? We know the designs and the as-builts can vary considerably.What caused the flood? Was there something that changed in the built or…

I've got the fancy four-rotor machine, for great passwords that no one can crack.

This map is fundamentally flawed in ways that a drunken college sophomore who took one lecture in risk analysis can find in about 2 nanoseconds. The map is all about probabilities, not consequences. If you take into account low risk but high consequence events, Seattle, with a potential M 8.0 to M 9.0 earthquake, may…

Alex, what is porn?

Yes.

It's not a swell. A 60 foot tsunami isn't really even a wave as we know it as much as it is a big wall of water. Local bathymetry (yeah, a big word) helps determine wave height. Tsunamis get taller closer to shore, because of Science or something. If this guy had been able to get 10 or more miles off shore, the…

"Politically leaning"? I hate magazines that lean politically.

No they're not. Over 100 years of consumer culture suggests that this won't happen, ever. Consume!!!

You didn't read the article, did you? Even if by the off chance you did, your claim—which offers no logic, evidence, or fact—is not credible. The system is as porous—or safe—today as it will be under health care reform. Do you really think it's private and secure now? When did you start noticing these delusions?

Per passenger mile, flying is still far safer. Even if it gets creepy. And this isn't the biggest hole to open on a plane. Scary? Oh yeah? Survivable—well, it did land. After all, if you've already shat yourself, might as well get some good pictures of the (not) doomed plane. And, seriously, maybe a tweeted picture…

If this asshat were half interested in reducing the predator population down in Zimbabwe, his target would be Robert Mugabe.

Yes. Let's even up the odds, let the cat finish the job.

Oh, if I were young, and able to qualify as a pilot, I so would want to fly the A10. My dream plane. Low, slow, and kills tanks. Bonus!

Dude, don't be a douche. His 5 seconds of research was still infinitely more evidence than your ravings and utterly ill-informed speculation.
