![]() wrote in message ... Actually, what CNN did last night was take a Cirrus up and recreate the flight including trying to make the turn...the difference is, CNN did it at 2000 feet, which is what sane pilots would do, such that they didn't tangle their prop in anybody's furniture. I thought that was pretty cool of them. For CNN to do that is certainly not typical. One would expect the story to go something like this: You said you don't watch the news. How do you know this then? "We were going to take this plane through the same area of the accident, but GA is much to dangerous for us to do that. That's not what they said at all. Your ignorance is showing. Instead we thought we would re-enact through this sophisticated flight training software." But they didn't. They flew an actual Cirrus through the course, except at a higher altitude so that, gee whiz, if it turned out the Cirrus couldn't make that turn, they wouldn't fly into the same building. Seems altogether reasonable to me. A lot more than somebody who claimed they don't watch the news explaining how CNN reports something to somebody who just told them what CNN reported. If they did infact fly through at 2kft on a GA aircraft, I commend them because it is certainly not what one is accustomed to seeing from CNN. Yeah, well, according to "one", "one" doesn't watch the news. So I'm a little curious here about how much "one" doesn't in fact watch the news. -c |

Where did you get that from????? You: "It was then that I lost total respect for the media and since then I have never intentionally sat down to watch the news." Is there some reason why we should all doubt your word? I mean, except that you can't seem to keep track of it? -c |

Go back and take a look at your source of the quote. I am certain you
will find that you have falsely accused me of something I never said. Yeah, well, according to "one", "one" doesn't watch the news.

Take note of your BS so it's not used against you next time. -c |
