• Breathtaking Footage Shows the Moment a Plane Crashes into a Moving Vehicle in Texas

  I really hope he gets back in the air. People may not know this, but there is a looming pilot shortage in America. We need all the new pilots we can get…

  (And I feel sad to have to say, there is USUALLY not a road just feet from a runway.)

• Sandy Knocks Power Out at NYC Hospital; 200 Patients Evacuated

  I work for American Medical Response, which is our country’s largest ambulance provider (pictured in the first picture in this story), and am on the disaster response team. MAN, I wish I was out there helping…

• Pilot Killed in Iowa Air Show Crash as Horrified Crowd Watches

  In reply to Crazy-Horse.

  The two worst days of a pilot’s life are the day he goes to the airport knowing it’s going to be his last flight, and the day he goes to the airport not knowing it’s going to be his last flight.

  Thoughts and pryers go out to you and your family. The entire aviation community shares in grief.

• Farrakhan Laments: ‘Sad That Mexico Lost California, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico’ Through American ‘Trickery’; Soon Whites ‘Will Be the Minority’ In the Country They ‘Took’

  May 30, 2012 at 8:34pm

  This really upsets me. I am a white male, living in the central San Joaquin Valley of California. I work both as an EMT for an ambulance service, and as a flight instructor. In my work as an EMT, I go all over my county, and I can tell you all that many of the outlying farmer communities are nearly 100% Mexican. Some people in the bigger cities will fly Mexican flags on their cars, over their houses, or tattooed on their bodies. MEChA club was/is alive and flourishing in the high schools. (If you don’t know what that is, check out this link: http://www.mayorno.com/WhoIsMecha.html). Basically, what I’m saying is 30 or 40 years is unnecessary. It frustraties me is we live in the greatest country on Earth, and people are adamant about claiming their old country. Drawing on my EMT experiences again, the outlying farming communities are always dirtier (I once saw a garbage truck lift the back up and empty water out of it onto the street.), and have more crime (I once had a gang related shooting where the victim had been shot in the face twice. He looked about 14.). The “minority” is the majority in the area of California I live in. There has a way to join the melting pot of America, while holding on to your heritage.

  You might assume I’m just a “whitey”, but I’ve dated Mexican women, live with an engaged Mexican couple, and some of my best friends are Mexican. Don’t write me off…

  My wetsuit would have gotten a little warmer while riding that thing.

• ‘Almost Perfectly Preserved’ WWII Fighter Discovered in Sahara Desert — 70 Years After Disappearing

  In reply to wntsmallgov.

  Agreed. I can’t imagine surviving a crash like that, and end up dying from exposure. Pretty amazing story, though.

• ‘Erotic’: CA Professor Allegedly Shows Full-Length Pornographic Film to Her Students

  I went to College of the Sequoias, in Visalia (about 40 minutes south of Fresno), and in my human sexuality class we watched a video similar to that. I felt the whole class was going for shock value more than education.

  I’d love to fly one of those. Very challenging I bet…

  Here’s a great ode to New York: New York I Love You, But You’re Bringing Me Down. Love the line, “Your mild billionaire mayor is now convinced he’s a king.”

  Here’s a good example of what to do in this situation, from everyone’s favorite 80′s show, MacGyver…
