Same reaction from me too. It's easy to forget sometimes that there are so many good people willing to toss everything aside and do their level best to save complete strangers. During some of the TV coverage one of the passengers said that after the plane stopped moving there was an elderly woman and another women with a baby 'stuck' in the aisle. According to the person some man yelled, at the top of his lungs, "Women and children first" and the crowd simply parted and let the women and child go to the front. Talks about choking me up.. Made me feel so proud that the people on board behaved the way we would all hope to in such an emergency. and the pilot. OMG. There should be a statue of this guy somewhere. Also, perhaps all that homeland security money wasn't wasted in N.Y. after all. They said that 50 emergency responders were on site about 6 minutes after they were notified. Wow. =c= _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
