    This is why the planes' condition should be checked, and double checked before taking off.
  •  
    That must have been really bad
  •  
    This is why they need to be checking everything anymore. You never now what people do to planes, and i feel sorry for every body that family member's got hurt
  •  
    That is so sad u just never know what is going to happen. You jut have to be careful and be safe and look out for things.
  •  
    this is not so much someone elses fault as it was mechanic failure. planes are safe but things do happen
  •  
    Airports should take more time to check their planes to make sure there is nothing wrong with them.
  •  
    A plain should be check more carefully before it takes off.

Vindication of Obama's strategy - 0 views

  •  
    "The killing of Osama bin Laden is a powerful argument for emphasizing counterterrorism over nation building in the war on terror." says Fareed Zakaria. It would be too generous to say that Osama Bin Ladens' death has to do with Obama's war on terrorism strategy.
  •  
    There going to get back at us.
  •  
    All Obama's strategy was to get high polls for next election and lieing about Osama bin laden dead is the perfect plain because he is wanted but He is a CIA agent, Why would they kill there own people?

    Those kids were lucky they joined the boy scouts. This was probably a great learning experience for all of them.
  •  
    First off the boy shouldve never been out of the site of the leaders of the scouts. It is a god thing that he has made it home safe and sound and was rescued.
  •  
    I think they were lucky that the plane came to save them. They were lucky they were in boy scouts so they new what to do to stay safe and warm.
  •  
    If they weren't Boy Scouts and knew how to survive they may have died. Boy Scouts could've saved their lives.
  •  
    That is a great thing that they found the troop!
  •  
    if they would have not took off then they would not have got lost in the first place

Army Corps blows up levee to save town - 0 views

  •  
    The Army Corps has blown up a levee in Missouri to save a town. The levee released water and flooded 130,000 acres of land in order to save a town. They say this was necessary in order to save lives. The town that was saved was Cairo.
  •  
    It turned out to be a good thing because a town and people where saved and hopefully no one was hurt in the process.
  •  
    It's better the levee was ruined instead of Cairo.

Knoebels - 0 views

  •  
    Opening day at Knoebels was very busy opening day. The numbers were up five percent more than last year. Knoebels has been honored by the National Amusement Park Historical Association as its favorite traditional amusement park in the country. They recently made the park smoking restricted. There are now designated smoking areas. Until Memorial Day, Knoebels is only open weekends.
  •  
    I think it is a very good thing that there is smoking restrictions in the park. Many people will disagree but it is for the better. It's also good to hear that Knoebel's numbers are up this year.

    David Allan Lewis from Greenville, South Carolina was hiking with his girlfriend and their dog. His dog got away from him and ran towards the falls. He ran after his dog and reached for it and they both went over the falls. The dog caught himself and got back up. David fell 125ft to his death. What a terrible thing, nobody really deserves to die

    That's a shame, but it shows how much he really loved his dog.
  •  
    I understand that dogs are mans best friend but this whole situation could of been avoided only if the man would have let the dog figure it out for himself.
  •  
    That's really sad that he lost his life trying to save his pet. He must have really cared about it.

    The cockpit voice recorder from an Air France plane that crashed mysteriously nearly two years ago, killing all 228 people on board, has been found. This device will bring the investigation one step closer to knowing the cause.The discovery of the two data recorders may finally explain why the Airbus A330 dropped out of the sky and into the ocean. It took nearly two years to locate the bulk of the wreckage.

    Maybe by finding this and analyzing it they can make other airplanes safer!
  •  
    I actually came across this on AOL news the other day. Its amazing how big the ocean is and we are able to find such small pieces of history in the depths the dark water. It will be more interesting what they will find out in recent weeks.
  •  
    That is amazing. I wonder what the voice recorder has on it.

  •  
    Many people have been asking a lot of questions about the death of Bin Laden. One good question i would like an answer to is can we leave Afghanistan now? I wish the war would come to an end so all of our troops fighting in the war can come home and return to there friends and family.
  •  
    I agree. If he's dead then they should start to bring some of the troops home now.

Wet weather threatens planting season - 0 views

  •  
    Farmers are ready for the wet weather to move out because it delaying the planting season. Greg Kneubuhler is mad because he cant get into the felids. But if they plant stuff by may 15 then they will still have a good yield. Its becoming more of a challenge with more rain in the forecast. They have nothing planted at all yet because they can't get in the felids yet. They have four weeks to plant. What they need is heat wind and warm weather.

    Families of troops were relived when they first heard the news of Bin Laden's death. Although not too long after they were scared for our troops. Priscilla Thurman a wife of a millitary troop wants to know if she is the only person who is more worried now that Bin Laden is dead. She is not the only one scared though many wives, mother's and family members also are.
