Blue Angels plane crashes

An F-18 can fly in excess of 450 MPH.. Who would've guessed?

On ONE engine ? Not too bad

The report seemed to indicate that was separate from the ability to fly
on one engine.

We don't see pictures of the military deaths in Iraq on the news every

Perhaps that is why there have been so many military deaths in Iraq. The
Vietnam War would have continued indefinitely without the media.

Well, I am going to continue with my usual rant: There is no
compelling reason for low level aerobatics! It should be banned...
Every airshow season some schmuck manages to turn his bird into
smoking wreckage while trying to prove he is the "best" at diving
within inches of death...

In this case it appears that the flight leader took the maneuver below
the treetops and this unfortunate schmuck, who had his eyes glued to
the wing ahead of him, kissed a pine tree...
If I were the prosecutor in that county I would charge the flight
leader with involuntary manslaughter and take him to trial...

And no less, either.

We do around here.

The only cowardice was in refusing to admit that Vietnam was a mistake for so
long in the first place. A lot of Americans died as a result.

The usa will never become a major world player until it learns
its place.

I'm not sure which USA you have in mind, but the USA I know is already the
number one player on the planet.

Why ban something that harms no one except the volunteers who do it?

The dead pilot was doing what he loved to do. Nobody else was killed. Why do
you have a problem with that?

So, the news reports about the injured people on the ground were incorrect?

I suppose that it depends on your definition of "number one player". To me,
it seems to be a Country which has spectacularly lost its way in the last
few years and which is now living on past glories. And its deficit has now
reached gynormous proportions.
