Something like that is probably going to happen again. Maybe not on as large a scale but I have no doubt it will happen. Read recently where 11 Libyan commercail airliners have been stolen not too long ago.

Probably let it crash in the ocean. It's south of Cuba now. They're saying it's very low on fuel right now.

Did it hit land or water? Would really suck if it crashed on land. Odds are pretty horrible that would happen.

No, it was more like a long drive that landed in a water hazard.....

From reports on tv it appears to be the same situation.

All we need now are reports of a decapitated head and it's an OC Hall of Fame incident.

I suppose crashing is a fairway to go for a pilot.

Wonder if the fighter pilot radioed in that he was following a bogey....

Not sure why it lost pressure. I guess the plane just wasn't up to par.

At least it didn't hit a flock of birdies like the flight that had to land on the Hudson.
