Ric Elias: 3 things I learned while my plane crashed

http://www.ted.com Ric Elias had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. What went through his mind as the doomed plane went down? At TED, he tells his story publicly for the first time.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff you just vented. You should probably relax a little. Not much of what you're claiming is tangible, and I guess it shouldn't be really since it's all about gnosticism, but the point is it's meaningless to anybody but yourself.

Well, first off, you're an idiot, so you would not understand an intelligent response, sense gauging by the one you left here, you're not that intelligent. And .....oooooh...ur sister and you got something speculz going on? That's me in the pic bitch, it was cloudy.

[OogleManiac]

Lol no intelligent response but to attack me personally haha. And I'm the idiot, thanks for the view though. As for the picture with my sister is because I'm not afraid to hide my face while you on the other hand will use a fake picture and talk all the shit you want. Have fun going through life fighting through your keyboard :)

You're a fucking idiot. You need brain surgery not toe surgery. And why are you using a picture of you and your Mom on your profile? Bizarre.

No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

What a great video. Best line: Not knowing whether he was going to live, Ric realized THE most important thing in life - being a good Dad. Amen, brother.
