I like the way the story mentions there were no safety concerns for the plane and those on board and completely fails to mention what or who the large panel may have landed on.

That was my first thought as well... They have no idea at what point that panel came off and where it may have landed. My bet is that somewhere Chicken Little is saying, "I told you so."

Hello everybody,

Days ago I asked about a hard disk on a friend's laptop.

Your advice helped me to decide and at the end everything worked like charm.

So thank you very much for your comments and help! Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

The Courts

Outside every court house in the USA there is a man detector.
If you enter the court house as a man an alarm sounds.
You might as well unfasten your belt because you'll be over a barrel shortly, squealing like a piggy.

I know a man who has just been ordered to pay more in alimony and child support than he makes.
This is after he was kicked out of his house with little more than a suit case of clothing.

You read that right - he has to pay more than he makes.
His lawyer told him to take out a loan.

I'm not sure what the court thinks he'll live on or how he's supposed to buy gas to get to work.
I guess the court cannot be bothered with that nonsense.

It gets worse... if he doesn't pay, and she sues for the child support, he'll go to jail even though there is no debtor's prison in the USSA.

A one-sided story. Let me guess, the alimony was determined when the man was still wealthy, and he decided to quit his job to avoid paying alimony? Smile | :)

Anyone who doesn't think our court system can be this grossly unfair has no experience with our court system.
