Damaged aircraft - should I pay?

Correct!,
Let's see I have 4 or 5 days notice. I have to spend most of one day
standing in line getting enough plywood to cover the house to try to protect
that major investment..that by the way the entire family benefits from. Now
I have the plywood, I spend another 2 days or even more getting it all up
around the house ( oh yes did I mention my job still requires that I be at
work ?) Then you have all the get the family things together time. Now you
are in fact running out of time to "get gone". Do you drive a car and your
wife take hers as well...if you can save them you both have your way to work
when you get back. Do you put the entire family on a plane ( which may or
may not even be able to carry your whole family).
OH NO, someone shouts almost to late! We almost forgot about Spot the
mangy mutt! Well that settles it, no room for the dog in the plane, we need
our cars. We have a Uhaul rented with some of our stuff in it just in case.
So now even the beloved family boat has to stay put as well. I sure wish I
could have got the plane out of here but MAN, just did not have time trying
to get my home and family together.
I would guess that scenario happens alot during those times. I love
airplanes..but my family comes number 1. I think that's how most folks would
feel about it.

Hi,

Right now (1pm West Coast time) on cnn.com, there is a picture of
numerous overturned planes. Presumably insurance pays for this and since
I pay for insurance, should I feel a bit bummed that these owners didn't
fly their planes to safety and help lower my insurance costs? Taking it
to the other extreme, perhaps some owners wanted to upgrade from a 172 to
a 182 (for example) and... Sorry, I just don't get it.

Thanks,

Hilton



Remember, those folks had to prioritize thinks in there life. Maybe the
plane didn't make the cut.
