Renton 22002 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 you surely JEST????????? TBH there is no PROOF either way How about leaving it in the same category of religous belief? 88570[/snapback] Err, no. I'd rather you were man enough to admit you were wrong. You said they were killed instantly, and in all probability, they weren't, as they weren't subjected to a force powerful enough to do this. You were wrong, end of story.

Shearergol 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I must admit I didn't notice that you did ........................... and "likely" is no scientific proof my lad................... or no more than "probably" used in the Official reports.................... 88547[/snapback] Either way, you're still wrong by saying they were killed straight away and didn't feel a thing. More likely to die from admitting you're wrong, than flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 There was no reason for them to have been killed before impact Rob, do you want categorical scientific proof for everything? That's not how life works. Jesus H tap dancing christ on a bike while weeping! Just admit you're wrong for a change. 88551[/snapback] This thread provides categorical scientific proof Rob doesn't like to admit he was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46034 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 One for the plane geeks: 9pm tonight on the National Geographic channel, a documentary about some fuckwit pilot who let his 15 year old son at the controls of a commercial jet. Not surprisingly, it crashed. It's called Kid in the Cockpit, which sounds worryingly like a Smooth Operator thread title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
