January 16, 2009: The Day in 100 Seconds

[LittleMissGiggle101]

January 16 is my birthday XD

[Telonelemon3]

Hey so is mine :D

[unthm87]

OH what

[Halftrac]

I want to see Barry's BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

[bigjstokes]

I'm not sure that's the hope Obama talked about.

[tbaggz4u]

"one person's pork is another person's stimulus..."

classic

[sharkyjay]

everything... look it up nigga i ant your fuckin book, you got eyes use'em bitch.

[TheSoundKage]

You're going to have to make a hour ong special soon,for alot more will happen soon.

[Joe402]

I predict a made-for-TV movie about the plane crash in...6 months

[JobDDT]

"Tiger Woods of pilots" UGH. How tacky can TV news get?

[ver506]

U hit the nail on the head, "tacky"!! I found myself rolling my eyes ALL day long! We all recognize that Sully did an amazing job. I think he should get the recognition for doing his job so well, but i honestly think that the media is over-doing it. I can't watch it anymore!!!!

[MarkNils]

Aw come on, that dude is CLEARLY the Tiger Woods of pilots! He's black, young, easily the best commercial airline pilot IN THE WORLD, EVER..! how many more similarities do you need?

[soubari]

Watch YouTube Videos:

Very Honest, interesting, and courageous viewpoints. Its out tax monies that has been financing the mass murder of Palestinians. Peace!

[carrierexchange]

Fuck Bush. Fuck Fox "News".

[WKaliber1]

This is shit. No one died, get over it. Why the fuck don't your report about the fucking WAR IN GAZA you morons.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Because if the American people saw what the Israelis were doing in Gaza presented in an impartial way, there would be such howls of outrage that aid for Israel would stop tomorrow. The lack of coverage is 100% intentional.

[spheremaster]

bull. there a more Americans in support of our aide to Israel than not. kill Hamas!

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Of course Americans support Israel - they get a hugely biased, almost totally one-sided view of the conflict w/ no history or context.

Anyone doubting this proposition s/ go to the site "If Americans Knew." A group of people from this site analyzed deaths and reporting of same over an extended period, and found extreme media bias in the US coverage.

I've heard more than one commentator say the coverage of the Gaza Genocide is more impartial in Israel than it is here. How sad is that...

[dsgspm]

dana perino, head straight for the shower

[azas1949]

does Boehner do the tanning bed ? He always seems so pretty and tanned.

[tejaspics]

Please prepare my rubber room.

[bleunt]

Terrorist birds!

And NO, it's NOT a fucking miracle. It's perfectly possible that a plane lands on water and doesn't blow up. It's not something that can not be explained by science. Idiots.

[AnimeIntroStyles3]

in the history of aviation the number of wide-bodied aircraft that have made successful landings on water is 1.

[bleunt]

Out of how many?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the plane either had just started or was going to land. You can't seriously think it's an act of divine intervention.

[AnimeIntroStyles3]

Did I say it was a miracle? NO. It's just the first time it's happened. You can at least recognize the skill involved in what the pilot did. In a situation where 2 engines were out and if one wing had touched the water the plane would have completely flipped.

[bleunt]

So your reply had nothing with what I wrote to do. Then why did you make that reply? I wrote nothing about the skill of the pilot. A miracle is not about the skill of a pilot. A miracle is about the skill of God. So saying it's a miracle is actually the same as taking credit away from the pilot.

What I wrote had nothing to do with taking away any credit, quite the opposite. This was not divine intervention, this was skill, circumstances and probably a bit of luck.

[tustruman]

well said

[AnimeIntroStyles3]

I replied because you assumed my initial comments meaning. AND YOU WERE WRONG. SO I corrected you. I hate to tell you the obvious, but this is what happens when you think you know what someone means AND YOU DONT.

Also everytime you mention the word "Miracle", realize I've never once said that. If you're talking to someone else, then reply to their comments.

Ok? :)

[bleunt]

I said the landing wasn't a miracle, and that it's possible for a plane to make that landing. And since it did make that landing, I must be right. So why the hell do you argue? Please, tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me why you made your initial reply to me. I'm ever so curious.

[HALPHprice]

television is an expert at NOTHING, except ENTERTAINMENT.

[AnimeIntroStyles3]

"I'm ever so curious" What are you, the biggest fruit on the planet?

Look, I just said what you said in a different way, and you took it to mean something else, at which point I had to correct you. That's all there is to it.

[bleunt]

Maybe the guy who starts screaming out words randomly shouldn't comment on how others talk. Caps Lock is not yout friend.

And apparently you're unable to answer a simple question. So I guess I'll remain ever so curious. You did not say what I said. I said it's not a miracle, and that it's very possible without divine intervention. You however, pointed out (for some reason) that it has only happened once. Not the same thing.

[AnimeIntroStyles3]

"happened" is not the choice word. More like "been accomplished". The reason it's only been accomplished once is because of the pilots skill. I've said this many times over to your deaf ears. Now what I said originally could be interpreted in many ways, but instead of asking which way I meant it, you assumed.

So again you're just arguing about the fact that you guessed what I meant, and you were wrong. Even though I keep telling you what I meant.

In short, you are deaf, blind, and dumb.

:)

[unthm87]

i guess so

[jsfumato]

Ima miss the FemBot : (

[balicsuljic]

fuck bush

[WhoRonPaul]

no animals were harmed during the making of this miracle media

[MooseOfReason]

Bring the economy in for a smooth landing?

Will the water be ice cold?

[FeelFreeToArgue]

Yes, and there will be no ferry to take you safely to shore. Better learn to swim.

[UnderstandingTheSelf]

the US Airways story is total SPIN!!!

The story could be focused on why a US Airways plane crashed, and whether it is safe to fly US Airways?

But instead we get the US Airways media department executing their Crash Media Strategy. ie Blame it on the birds!! Declare the pilot a hero! Show happy smiling passengers telling how kind the Airline was to them after the crash!

Spin wins again!

[zidmt]

Yes, let's focus on how US Airways failed to control wild birds and how this was a clever scheme to get some of the billions in bail-out money. Or better yet, this was an attempt to divert attention from Bush's farewell speech. Conspiracy nuts unite!

[AnonymousCthulhu]

It isn't a miracle. I wish people would fuck off and stop giving credit to the idea of God. 'Oh thank God I survived that cancer." No, asshole, thank those doctors who preformed surgery on you. Thank that pilot for acting professionally. Don't thank a miracle.

[motl3y]

man, im going to miss dana...

[Mentallyawake568]

Oohhh yeah she is delicious!

[jhakana]

why do people call it a miracle, which is an act of god, but yet they will sue the airline and humans for their stress and their error. No where will god be mentioned in a lawsuit, the miracle to me is when 50 tonnes of metal and plastic can fly, with hundreds of people onboard and land safely. If god had a hand in its crash landing which resulted in nobody getting killed, isnt he still culpable in its malfunctioning in the first place?, god could have moved the birds to begin with right?

[Bizzer10]

nice way to tie things together

[butterwings]

curfuckled?

[gprentice303]

i know lol

[GodKillerAtheist]

they need to give a tax break to companies that hire people and take it back when they fire them or else the economy will never move if people cant find even the lowest paying of jobs that we give to the illegals and turn away citizens

[jessepelley]

Americans have empty heads. What about the 8.5 trillion, or is it 12 now, I lost count with everyone else. The world has been hijacked, yes this means europe and canada, too.

[rfrantzt]

whatever... our guns are bigger than yours

[Enzer0]

Lol - Is it time to bomb another building yet?

[patjshaz]

you are stupid

[HoonzKS]

Hey Joe,

Uncle Joe,

Morning Joe,

Plumber Joe,

~~ Bush Joe,

If meet American, talk to him.

"Hey Joe, How are you?"

then, he will says ~ "I'm Fine..!!"^^

[HoonzKS]

seeing the title "morning Joe", i thought of "Plumber Joe".

i saw so many "Joe" last year.

~~~~ i'm horrified at the JOE.^^

[sharkyjay]

god all news sucks, they tell you what they want you to hear.

[lezxotic]

What do they want us to hear? You people never give specifics because you have NO clue what you are writing about. In fact you're probably some teenager spewing mommy and daddy's ideations.

[nt0xik8ed]

dana makes my sac twitch

[WKaliber1]

another day passed and im' still a virgin

[averyellis]

you seriously need to find a hooker.

[WKaliber1]

[averyellis]

i'm sure your town has a northside.

they're ALL on northside

[WKaliber1]

whats a northside

[averyellis]

huh.

wow.

sorry, apparenty i can't help you.

[TimTrimT]

God American news sucks....

[thehistorysage]

I think it deserves to be said on more time, "Chicken cannon."

[zapponsalvia]

Thank goodness we have these wonderful fiscal conservatives to reign in spending! They did such a good job of it when they were in power. :)

[dgleason2]

what the "republican's" have spent is a penny to the "new" administration....

but lets discuss the plane crash some more...

[voyeurdug]

Only a "good" metaphor/analogy... Obama's gotta reinvent a coupla more engines on the striken plane, and fly that puppy to Shangrila... NON-STOP.

[iluvsystemofadown]

Let me summarize the day for us all in 2 seconds.

Miracle Plane Landing

2nd Bailout Fund Released

[buffalosouljah18]

t im tired of hearing about the fucking plane

[WKaliber1]

The Blow Jober

[pejovjos000]

Seriously dude!

[terrence0258]

TPM is the Chesley Sullenberger III of internet media.

[drifterland]

haha, it is quite.

[Baby4Sell]

bye bye Bush ^0^

[supermanky]

Hey,

All of you who are getting so riled up about this being "bullshit" might do better focusing your energies elsewhere.

A quote I like is this: "Where there is fear, there is power."

You don't need to feed the flames of discord anymore. Go be powerful where it matters.

[zidmt]

haha

[ViciousGX]

rofl. Planes help the earth by feeding fish xD

[KataVideo]

by breathlessly reporting on a 'miracle' at least the corporate conservatarded msm has moved past what they used to do, "casualties are not as bad as the producers first hoped".

and BTW: no, it was NOT a "miracle".

1/15/09 was the result of good training and an experienced pilot (& former safety investigator) who spent a lot of time thinking about these scenarios. that's not a 'miracle', that's 'preparation'.

[flibadob]

Well said KataVideo. +1

[drifterland]

amen, amen.

[Enzer0]

Hell yeah - If I landed that plane and saved those people I'd want credit! NOT GOD!

[dralavant]

These republicans are so ridiculous. I believe Obama's plan is gonna work.

[greatbroad]

They cannot scream about Obama's bailout because of all the trillions this republican administration has already wasted. This being said, I wish my grandchildren didn't have to pay for this.

[Richardgwm]

George Bush is a confessed war criminal. Karl Rove is a traitor to America. Both must be tried and executed.

George Bush has admitted to ordering the torture of a prisoner of war. Torture is a war crime. Karl Rove committed an act of treason during wartime. George Bush and Karl Rove must be tried and executed.

[snipzor]

I don't give a shit about the plane crash, I don't. The media has so much better to cover now, if someone died, that would be grounds to cover a minute more. Not 2 days, absurd.

[zidmt]

I guess news to you is only when people die eh? A huge airplane crash landing into an icy river and everone live is not newsworthy?

[snipzor]

Clearly sarcasm is a new concept. The fact that this is still news is bullshit, this should only be a thirty minute clip, nothing else.

[averyellis]

"I guess news to you is only when people die eh? A huge airplane crash landing into an icy river and everone live is not newsworthy?"

seriously. we all complain about how the press only reports negative news and now snippy's complaining about good news?

[RarewareLover]

you should check out GOOD Magazine here on youtube

but the news is only what the news stations and media decide to put on the air. And they make money by having the most viewers possible. So whatever they think will keep you watching will be what they show.

Some use fear tactics to gain viewers, others have screaming broadcasters. For example, what percentage of the American population watches C-Span? Not that much because there's no bells and whistles.

[Skurgefaust]

I look forward to D.I.100.Secs. each day, dont stop doing it.

[snarkwaupaca]

Dana Perino could obscure the truth and not answer questions better than anybody. I can't wait for next week and Robert Gibbs.

[lilpeopleview]

second!!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

The American news media are batshit.

[mickeh93]

nice
