Yep: that really happened, and a great 6 year old boy was killed. Not pilot error, rather an airport placed into a tight neighborhood in Chicago. Very sad event in the Windy City, and oddly I feel a little uncomfortable seeing it spoofed. Which is unlike me.
It's true. Southerners don't generally do well in snow. We don't have to because we don't get that much snow anyway.
So to all you northerners, what's your excuse? People up there can't drive at high noon on the 4th of July. (And then they come down here for the winter and...)
People in the South grumble about "damned Yankees," but at least we can drive in the snow. Well, most of us can. Some of us. Okay I can. Usually.
ReplyDelete(Let me guess. NTSB ruled that as "pilot error"? I don't know why we keep them around. I can come up with the same answer for a lot less money.)
And yes, thats appropriately a SouthWest jet...
ReplyDeleteEw. Ow.
ReplyDelete"Yeah...State Farm?"
ReplyDeleteYep, Southerners DON'T do well in snow... :-P
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely going to leave a mark. And a lot ruined car upholstery.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know the details of that incident.
I thought it was Photoshopped. I was wrong.

ReplyDeleteLike many things on the internet, the person who created the image probably had no idea what the details surrounding the picture were.
ReplyDeleteVery sad indeed. Have driven by that spot several times since and I always think about that accident.
