I agree. It's a slick, easy-to-understand analysis of the crash.

It also shows quick thinking on the part of the pilot. If they hadn't decided to ditch the plane in the river instead of continuing to the airport, it probably would have come up short and crash landed in an urban area. A lot of people owe the flight crew their lives, not just the passengers.

The NY Times does some very good things, but they also keep publishing Maureen Dowd and William Kristol.

I don't mind being down modded, I stand by what I said.

But I am honestly curious who here is a fan of Dowd's and Kristol's writing?

not me. They sound like broken record player, repeating the same stuff over and over. And Dowd is a misandrist, but that's ok, as it is trendy nowdays.
