I don't get it. Everybody here rants about the media when they jump to
conclusions and print stupid **** in the papers. Aren't we doing the same
thing here? Everybody's looking at a picture of an airplane in a tree and
assuming it's the airplane's fault. Hasn't it occurred to anybody that
this might have been one of those FAA-standard 50 foot trees that leap up
out of nowhere to catch unsuspecting airplanes (kind of like Charlie
Brown's kite-eating tree)?

But that still wasn't a photo of the accident site.

... which is exactly what I said.

I know... I misread your post. I even sent a cancel message but since no
newsserver accept cancel messages anymore all I can say is mea culpa.

The tree doesn't look to be 50 ft tall, but you definitely do have a
point... As a snow skier, I am well aquainted with the fact that there are
certain trees who take a perverse pleasure in jumping out in front of you
and attacking you... Hell, if you don't believe me, just ask Sonny Bono or
Michael Kennedy... Oh, wait a minute... You *can't* ask them since they
were stalked and eventually murdered by a tree... Of course, some
witnesses swear that there was a second tree at the snow-covered knoll
when Michael Kennedy was murdered

Of course, it wasn't truly Michael Kennedy's fault since he was given
skiing lessons by the same person who gave Teddy driving lessons...

Ever wonder how the military trains their pilots?
Here is clear example of a military style short field takeoff with 50ft
obstacle.

Slammed, by a tree.

Nope. Those trees have been there a long time.

That's a pretty good Photoshop job.

Doesn't look particularly good to me.
Nothing in the picture looks other than staged or faked.
Doesn't even look like it was intended to be really believed.

Damn, I was hoping that yours was set correctly and I could ask you what
the lottery numbers were going to be... grin
