Who do you support for U.S. Senate in North Carolina in 2010?

Sorry Allen, that you're taken so much heat; for something so ridiculous. It's evident that there are many people with more serious problems than me. Which really makes me feel quite good!
Have a nice evening Allen, you really seem like a nice and genuine person. Too bad I didn't get to talk to you more. To deal with this junk; I'd rather fight in Iraq barehanded.

Thanks Spoon, you too.

Circling AROUND something is different from circling OVER something. The glider pilot circled around the facility, not over it. Also, you may pass over the facilities above indicated altitudes.

Earthquakes, tidal waves and meltdowns can damage nuclear power plants. Gliders cannot. I have no fear of nuclear power plants. I have a great fear of idiots with intentions of "protecting " me.. You are thousands of times safer in or around a nuclear power plant than you are in a doctor's office for instance. Each year, over 100,000 Americans die as a result of doctors and nurses not properly washing their hands. How many died because of gliders flying a circle around a power station? Zero.

How many jets had flown into the WTC buildings before 9-11?? Uhhh.....zero....

TSF gliders were used on June 6,1944 to drop men and equipment weighing thousands of pounds, behind German lines.....D-Day......

[TSF]

That is correct. They were being towed by powered DC-3 s

So in your opinion a glider can't possibly damage a nuclear facility? Impossible? Really? With the state of modern explosives? Sort of like a motorboat being unable to damage an American destroyer? Heard of the U.S.S.. COLE?

[TSF]

The area around or above the power station in question IS NOT a prohibited Zone. It is not marked as such on the maps . The nearby Savanna River facility IS a Prohibited zone and is marked as such on the maps. That IS NOT where the glider pilot was flying. Thousands of airplanes in the USA fly over nuclear power plants every day. Do not worry about airplanes. Since 911, any pilot who wanders into a prohibited zone, a TFR ,etc, WILL be intercepted by military fighter planes and dealt with as appropriate to the situation.
The US military command structure has the authority and is fully capable of dealing with these incidents. There is no authority for or need for Darlington County SO or any other local LE to be out commandeering airports and blazing away at gliders with shotguns, pistols and rifles.

Lets chase this rabbit. How many jets flew into WTC building 7 the day it collapsed?

TSF if you want to gamble with yourself, great.Haven't we been burned enough in this country by"assuming"things can't be done? NEVER UNDERESTIMATE your OPPONENT!

[waco1909]

You're being obtuse TSF.YOU are aware that passenger jets fly higher than 18,000 feet.What do you think will happen if a passenger jet flies over a facility at ten thousand feet? You also seem to think that Capt.Kirk can BEAM a military jet to where its needed.IT takes TIME! Not only that, do you think they keep F-15's under every rock? Where do you think jets would come from if Houston were threatened? If Ellington Field has already been shut down, and it was scheduled for that when Bush was president, they'd have to come from SAN ANTONIO! That is, according to the Houston Chronicle, which was covering that story, not to mention the local affiliates.

[waco1909]

For some reason, as I recall, they scrambled no"interceptors"on 9-11.

[waco1909]

We will just disagree on this one,TSF.I SELDOM challenge you on anything, but I felt that this time, I should.

That is a typical Republican generalization. No basis of specifics. I have read all of Mike's replies. Can you give a specific example? I still say the word 'semantics' is a cop out until proven otherwise. Easy way to avoid the point of the debate.

I believe you. Welcome. The person that we thought you were is vile, hateful, and if that were you, those qualities would have surfaced by now. Sorry if any of us have offended you. Maybe, too, the ones who have experienced "Gail" are just overly cautious and judgemental of anyone new coming aboard. You sound to be a very good and reasonable person. Hope you will continue to contribute. Underneath all the surface hostility, there is actually some good fun and relationships here.

Fleming was familiar with the post-9/11 notam that advises pilots to avoid flying near facilities such as power plants

Two views, though similar, the second one finally said it. The guy knew it was inadvisable to fly over. Oh wait, he's special and just one time wouldn't hurt. PS After reading the first article, you failed to mention that the guy had lost contact with the ground. The lady that owned the tow co. was asking everyone on handhelds if they knew where he was, because he wasn't responding to his radio.

OK, I admit it, I'm dumb. How do you host a "twitter" party? Is there more than one person in the room?
