Damn terrorists! Getting us all confused with their superior technology, making us look foolish landing 150 miles away from where we were supposed to. Damn them, damn them to hell for all they have done here!

It's not nice to be laughed at. If we don't stop this now. The terrorists will win.

At 7 miles a minute, I need them to be drinking Red Bull or something...HOLY CHRIST!

Well, at least they turned around and landed in Minneapolis, imagine if they landed at the wrong airport. . . like O'Hare or JFK? :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Friday on my mind]

Experts in aviation say they obviously fell asleep.The real problem is if they had run out of fuel before awakening.The expert I saw said the FAA is the problem because they refuse to accept pilots are human.He says they should allow for planned sleep periods on flights.Let one take a nap then the other ,makes sense to me.

They were probably drunk. Funny, but I mean that seriously! Take a look at how high the percentage of alcoholic pilots is; it's fucking ridiculous!
