opps, never mind, this is a different southwest plane that skidded off the runway than i was thinking of.

It’s a very smiler looking scene to what happened in Chicago. Same airline, same plan skidding off a runway and onto a street, and as I recall, there was a Chevon station right there. Just say’n.

the picture is from Chicago in late 2005 (November or December). it happened at Midway Airport and a little kid was killed. Not really something that should have been posted IMO.

this picture is less funny due to the fact a little kid was killed by that plane going off the runway.

all epic fails ‘cept for the europeans commenting up on this! simply watch (i’ll admit, somewhat long) the youtube video entitled “The Energy Non-Crisis”…here I’ll even link ya’ll sillys!

So there you have it. Largest oil field in the world not being fully utilized, I’ll let him explain why (oh yeah, he’s written a book w/all the facts and figures, BAM!). Yeah, but this could provide economic stimulus UNlike the silly “Economic Stimulus Package” that anyone w/common sense will understand it was complete and utter nonsense. So, future generations get their cheap oil and better economy if only we had an honest government. Lastly, LEGALIZE IT! Remember prohibition? IT STILL DOESN’T WORK. Marijuana is the number one cash crop in America…where does all the money go? The black market….hmmm…what’s wrong here? Deaths per year from tobacco+alcohol=thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. Deaths per year from marijuana=ZERO, BIG FAT ZERO, ZIP, NADA. WAKE up America!

I’ve pumped a few thousand gallons of Jet A into that plane. He would have to wreck a nice -600 and not one of the crappy -200s
To date, this is the only plane that SWA has “lost”. The crash broke it’s back.

jet A was about $2.39 a gallon retail at that time.

Jeez, you pretty stupid, you know that?

There are many ways to make cars more fuel efficient..

Properly inflated tires is one of them.

An oil-based economy is going to fail..

Maybe we should stop relying on a source that won’t be around forever..

And try a renewable resource!!

But wait!!

Right-wing oil buddies won’t like that!

And every time that photo is used, we get the same US Geography FAIL Caretrolls insisting that we not laugh, OMG, because that’s OBVIOUSLY Chicago, where a kid died. Apparently the world can only have had one and only one incident where a plane skidded off a runway. or maybe nothing is allowed to have ever happened west of Illinois.

And that’s obviously snow and ice, PROVING that it’s Chicago, because it would be illogical for anyone to have put fire retardant under a plane that just skidded through a wall. Never mind that there isn’t any “snow” on the tree or the grass or anywhere else, it MUST be blizzard conditions. Err… yeah.

And now, not only is the Burbank airport located in Chicago, it’s also in Canada. Riiight.

To keep supply short and prices high- feeds into the speculator’s market. Also, current leases are either “so hard to get to” or on property where companies have to pay royalties to individuals instead of the pittance they get to pay the government, and the companies would rather use their profits to buyback stock than invest in actual exploration. They mainly want drilling rights in ANWR and the continental shelf to secure the land rights for the future. Simple act of corporate self-preservation (which is also why they lobby so hard to help kill serious funding of alternative energy…)

Can I add a few more barrels of gas with this order? lol!!

Seriously, people in Europe are mostly laughing at the whining that is coming from you Americans these days. Well, not always, it can be crying too when we compare our prices with yours but to see you guys crying about it is just hilarious.

We currently pay 10-12 USD a gallon where I live, so yeah, we wish we had a price of 4 dollar per gallon.

You know whats even funnier… you can say we got better public transportation and that may be but do you also know that people here, while living on welfare, still can have cars and drive them, even with our 12 dollar a gallon? When I read the news, so many Americans stop driving and try to sell their cars.. why?? Probably because a lot of you still have gas guzzlers.

Seriously, stop whining and start dealing with it.. this is the way its going to be and no way it will the prices will go back to what they were… You know whats worse? The whole world is suffering the same, and mostly it is thanks to the choices you guys made in politics in the past.

Eco-systems are a lot more stable than you think they are. It is not too much to ask for people to not buy a 15 mpg car. But I will say it’s not always possible to live close to work. My dad works 25 miles away and my mom works a mile away, she makes minimum wage while my dad makes much more, so it makes sense for them to work near her job. Or another example is being able to afford an area to live, it may be 1000 dollars or more a month in one area and 500 15 miles out. Hmm or say if you live close to work you are in serious danger everyday, such as my boyfriend who teaches in inner city schools. I love the bus/train idea but for certain people it may not be possible, buffalo has weird public transport and it’s not really useable for many people i know.

Will you all stop complaining. In Europe we’ve been paying more than 1 dollar per liter (that’s 0.2 of a gallon) since the bloody ’90s.

By: Jane

Jane — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 00:47:37 +0000

Yes gas is higher in Europe and it always has been. Most of what you pay is tax from your individual governments. Not to mention that most places in Europe has a much better public transportation system then the U.S. Over here only the big cities have access to that, and not even all of them. Where I live in Indiana there is NO way to get to either of my two jobs without driving. I am thankful I had the foresight to buy a Civic, I wanted a hybrid but at the time the prices hadn’t come down on them enough to make it worth while. I sometimes wish I’d splurged. My brother has a Prius, the rat bastard.
