#1 One of them said the goal was at least 5000 dead. I'd like to see at least 8 million Paks paying the price.

#3 I was channel surfing past CNN and heard one of their reporters blab that navigation pilots now have 'panic buttons' which they can push to indicate that something is wrong. And then some government offical confirmed it.

Somehow I don't think that little tidbit was something 'the public has a right to know.' and might get people killed when a pilot is disarmed of it by terrorist.

Considering that the bomb blew them all to hell, how do they know that the passengers berated the driver?

#6 Now you see why Americans complain about taxis who do not understand English instructions well? "No, no Sanji, I said take a right here, not 'take her right here!'" "Please go back, please run past the red light, please ... KABOOM!
