When was the last time we even had a plane crash in America? The last I recall was that flight right after Sept. 11, and I don't think anyone was killed. There might have been something over near Alaska since then, but I can't recall.

The only plane crashes that come to mind from recent history is the Concorde one in Europe.

Wasn't there a very small 2 seater plane that crashed into an office building?

Other than that I don't recall any plane crashes either.

even though federal officials have warned that terrorists might use the beams of light to blind pilots as they approach airports.

i wasn't bashing the US. I was bashing the idiots. why do you say i bash the US when i bash the idiots? Or do you think i think that all americans are idiots? i don't work that way

Countries France ****ed up of immediate or past importance to the US/world:
Syria
Haiti
Vietnam (yeah, it's their fault)
Ivory Coast
and many more

See, France only *even attempts* to solve problems IT CAUSED (and not all of the time). The US has intervened in SO MANY countries whose screwed up status is due entirely to some idiot European country, whose citizens are bashing the US right now. If you had to clean up even all of your own messes you'd be crying for American help.

immediate? no.

past? yes. I do agree we ****ed up. but we weren't alone. stupid colonist.

but this isn't the point. I was responding on what france did in the past year instead of "laying back and watching"

now quit being a dumbass.

thanks.

I could very well mention the massacres the americans did against the indians. but i'm not.

I agree. God forbid we use soap and water regularly...

how about you stop putting stupid ass comments? thanks.

It's not my fault the french like to eat cheese and get drunk on wine all day. Too bad that leaves little time for bathing or shaving.

Whats it like to screw a girl with 2 inches of hair all over her legs?

hey. she told me if anybody said anything like that, i could get em banned or warned. so now please shut the hell up, because this is getting annoying.

for one. yes, we like cheese, so what? i mean, you eat your hamburgers all day, no? it's not any better except cheese is tastier. and wine is good, although not everybody is getting drunk all day on wine. idiot.

and i really hate that stereotype that french people dont bath and shave, it's really annoying. and false.

Do you see how it feels when one calls out your whole country on something only a few do? Do you see how that can get annoying when we use stereotypes to offend everyone?

I have no beef with any country, and yes, I would love to go to Europe as a tourist one day, but when you kick us in the nuts, it is only fair that we kick back.

No offense to you or any other frenchmen for that matter, I am just getting a little offended with your unwaranted hatred for this country as a whole. I could care less if you insult the people running it, but to constantly google new ways to insult any country is just downright wrong.

And by the way, beef totally kicks cheeses ass. Now cheese has it's place, but you sinned by putting it up against beef. And I do not mean a fast food places, I mean organic meat that you grill with good ol' charcoal.

And here is an olive branch of peace: I offer you one American beer for one glass of French wine.

BOGOTA, Colombia Mar 26, 2005 — A twin-engine commercial plane crashed Saturday while taking off from the tiny Colombian island of Old Providence, killing eight people, including a 3-year-old boy, and injuring six other passengers, authorities said.

The West Caribbean Airways turboprop plane, a Czech-built Let-410, was carrying mostly tourists from the Caribbean island of Old Providence to another nearby Colombian island, San Andres, off the coast of Nicaragua, said Martin Gonzalez, spokesman for Aerocivil, the civil aviation agency.

"It had just taken off when some type of technical problem apparently happened, and it crashed at the edge of the runway," Gonzalez said.

The dead included the pilot, co-pilot, five women and the boy, said Glensi Tulande, spokeswoman for the archipelago's police department. She said it appeared all of those killed were Colombian nationals.

Colombian air force planes arrived at the island shortly after the accident to fly the seriously injured to hospitals in the city of Cartagena on the Colombian mainland, said Aerocivil's acting director, Col. Carlos Montealegre.

West Caribbean Airways, a Colombian airline, began service in 1998 and flies domestic routes with a fleet of 14 airplanes.

Old Providence is about the size of Manhattan but has only 2,500 residents, mostly descendants of slaves who speak English as their first language. It has largely avoided the violence associated with Colombia, a country embroiled in a long-running guerrilla conflict.

Nicaragua, which is 110 miles west of the island, has gone to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, to claim ownership of the archipelago that includes Old Providence and San Andres.

woa.

i never said it was american

and Git, while it may be true that american commercial crashes haven't occured in years, there was one at the end of last month in colombia

If you know this, why the hell aren't you actually getting it? According to your amazing thread title than, there'd only have to be 1 crash for more than twice the number of crashes of last year.

You're a douchebag, and I think it would be a wise decision to look into not living.

There have been more than 100 incidents nationwide since November in which laser beams have been flashed into cockpits. The aircraft all landed safely, but federal aviation officials are concerned that a laser could be used to blind pilots and cause a crash.
