Living in Pittsburgh, we got quite a bit of coverage of the crash near
here.  The crash was similar to that of USAirways flight 427 a few years
ago, but the debris is quite different.  In the USAirways crash there
was a lot of large identifiable debris; in this case there wasn't
anything bigger that a phone book.  I can only imagine what was going on
in that plane when the passengers attempted to regain control from the
suicidal b*stards.  My hat goes off to them, and my heart and prayers go
out to the loved-ones of all victims.  When the s*it hits the fan, I
will not dance in the streets, but I will not grieve either.
