A Chalks Airways Grumman Mallard (Turbine Mallard) crashed during takeoff
near Miami, FL today.

Watching TV coverage of the aftermatch it's certain two things will happen
after such an event. The TV networks will report a fiery explosion before
the crash and Mary Shiavo will be on-air demonstrating she's an ignorant, uh
what's the word, media whore? The TV networks would be better served just
directly airing the first homeless guy they can find.

Hey did you know that according to MSNBC the Mallard is a "hydroplane". All
the years I dealt with them I thought they were seaplanes.

Then again, maybe someone will focus on the inherent danger of flying
paying passengers in an airplane that can't maintain a takeoff flight
path with one engine inoperative.
