Default Accidents

The damn things weigh half a million pounds, fly a third of the way
around the world and they carry passengers in greater comfort and
safety than any vehicle in the history of mankind. Now, are you fellas
really going to stand there and tell us you know how to do the job
better? Are you going to pretend you know anything about it at all?
Cause it looks to me like you boys are just stirring folks up for your
own reasons.


Aviation legend Charley Norton, 78, speaking to reporters in
1970 after an airplane crash.


The irony of the Information Age is that it has given new
respectability to uninformed opinion,


Vetern reporter John Lawton, 68, speaking to the American
Association of Broadcast Journalists in 1995.



Truer words were never spoken.

More like a good hard kick in the groin, I'd say :~)

And s\even at that, it's an example of understatement, rather than
exaggeration.
