Jay, I fly every day and I've never been in an accident.

They'll probably recover as much of the passengers' luggage and property as possible, but the electronics will probably have to be replaced, yeah.

Landing in the river was a softer, safer choice even in this frigid weather, and doing so snuffed out the engine fire to boot. They got everyone out so quickly! I'm pretty moved by this whole story.

"Son_of_a_gun_25, I served with Angry Deer: I knew Angry Deer; Angry Deer was a friend of mine. Son_of_a_gun_25, you're no Angry Deer."

Gotta love a good Lloyd Bentsen reference.

"Jay, I fly every day and I've never been in an accident."

Meaning....?

Posted: 1/15/09 at 5:03pm

Actually Jay, Geese are big Joan Crawford fans, so our slogan is "Don't f*ck with me, fellas! This ain't my first time at the airport!"

Not that kind of coke you goofs!

Anyway, I've switched to wine as it is after 5.

We are waiting to see if anyone we know was on the plane. I have friends at the company I used to work for that fly between Charlotte and NYC all the time and US Air is the airline the company uses. One lady I worked for was on her way to the Charlotte airport to take that plane back to NYC. Everyone is calling all around the company to see if anyone was on the flight.

I hope they at least got their coats and hats.

Fingers crossed that everyone is safe, uncageg.

And Angry Goose is cracking me up.

Should it be?

"Don't quack with me, fellas! This ain't my first time at the airport!"

Angry Goose is so about to call you out on your racism. Those are rubber DUCKIES.

I've been working all afternoon and missed this. Has it been ascertained if the gees were Canada Geese?

[danmag]

Posted: 1/15/09 at 5:11pm

They were.

[StockardFan]

Posted: 1/15/09 at 5:11pm

Yeah, Jay. And everybody knows geese don't quack, they Honk!

People who believe they may have had relatives on the flight may call US Airways at 1-800-679-8215 within the United States, the airline said.

I don't know about the other Geese involved, but Gwendolyn was all-American.

Posted: 1/15/09 at 5:16pm

Geese who believe they may have had relatives sucked into the turbines of the flight may call US Airways at 1-800-679-8215 within the United States, the airline said.

Fat lot of good that does.

"...so there's baggage & luggage are all gone now? like backpack with laptop computers, iPod, etc.."

Sweet Jesus, a little perspective perhaps? They just walked away from a F'ing crashed aircraft. Everything else is just stuff. JUST F'ing STUFF.

I think the Angry Goose can take a flight...enough already. The joke ran its course and is derailing the thread.

Damn sockpuppets.

Canada Geese (not Canadian Geese, contrary to popular belief) are a terrible nuisance--on land and in the air--and should be destroyed.

Angry Goose--are you an Angry Canada Goose?

Posted: 1/15/09 at 5:28pm

God forbid someone derails the thread, Etoile! I mean, we've got serious business to conduct on this F'ing message board! No more kidding around, Goose.

"Sweet Jesus, a little perspective perhaps? They just walked away from a F'ing crashed aircraft. Everything else is just stuff. JUST F'ing STUFF."

I'd be very upset if I had been on that flight and my dog had been trapped in the lower compartment where they put pets.

I'm an Angry AMERICAN Goose, thankyouverymuch.

And from what I've read around this place, PalJoey, you seem to be kind of a nuisance yourself, bub.

They're damned lucky there wasn't any ice on the river. If that had happened here the ice floes would've cut that aluminum can wide open, breaking it up and sinking it.

They're disease-carriers and extremely aggressive.

Canada Geese have an alamrming tendency to attack humans when they feel their goslings are being threatened. Like we give a sIt about their goslings!

They're SH*T, however, are big and smelly and when a whole flock of Canada geese SH*Ts on your lawn, it's DISGUSTING!

When a Canada goose decides to attack a human, your goose is pretty much cooked. There's no fighting back against a Canada goose. They become like suicide bombers--not caring if they survive the attack--their object is to kill.

First the goose will stand erect, spread its wings and produce a "hissing" sound.

Next, the goose will charge. They are relentless and cannot be frightened away.

The Canada goose may choose to bite or, even more frightening, it may attack you with its wings.

Their wings can kill.

KILL THE CANADA GEESE BEFORE THEY KILL YOU!

And they WILL kill you, if given the chance.
