I have no idea where your "here" is but here we care about our own.

And that's your damn problem.

The whole fucking worlds!, actually.

Iraq aside, Us caring about the whole world has been pretty damn beneficial wouldn't u say?

So, in essence you say you would stand by as a catastrophe happens in your own hometown, state, country, whatever, and not give a flying f%%k?

Not to mention, because a potential catastrophe doesn't end in total wreckage, death and disasater that no one should care?

BTW, in response to Grouse's initial complaint, every regular channel here is back to their regularly scheduled programming.  I would imagine CNN and MSNBC are probably still covering this.  I hardly think giving it a few hours of regular time on the airwaves was excessive.

This was a fairly heroic event, it could have gone a terribly different way.

I think it is rather refreshing to see some good, miraculous type news being reported.


I never watch the news because I can't stand the negativity. I think news and media are partly responsible for the world being so negative.

If all people see is horrible shit, u kind of get the impression that everything is bad. The whole If u hang around these types of people u will act like this syndrome.

When u see total strangers helping each other in the time of crisis, that brings back your belief in mankind.

I can not even begin to imagine what would have happened had the pilot lost control of the plane and it crashed into a building.

would have been panic city.

luckily, don't have to worry about it    amazing story, can't wait to hear the pilots take on it all.  also liked how quickly all of the boats came to the rescue.

If this had happened at night, fuhgetaboutit.

Major props to the pilot.

He's from California.

Not much of a video, but one that shows the plane landing in the river.
