  1. Ate at Gene’s some but it was never the go-to that Scott’s was. Chili Cheese burger rings a bell for some reason.
  2. Never heard of it. Whereabouts? Pats, Scotts are my faves, though haven’t been to Fat Pats in 30 years or so. Wonder if she got skinny in the intervening years?
  3. username doesn't compute
  4. Forgot to leave off the black olives.
  5. Barry Switzer (in his role as Dallas Cowboys coach) showed up to the airport with a pistol in his luggage that one time.
  6. Yep happy camel doesn’t really compute.
  7. Well it’s Laredo, so…..
  8. Internet info popping up that the pilot flying was the 25 yr old low time first officer IOE with a senior Captain/instructor in the left seat monitoring.
  9. One of the pilot forums I follow mentions something about flap issues prior to landing. Might explain why the crew on the other plane were recording the landing.
  10. Most of us have been on a flight where the pilot just flew it right down onto the runway and you hit pretty hard, usually in gusting crosswinds. I don’t know anything about the robustness of the main landing gear on a CRJ, but they take a beating.
  11. Looks from the video that the pilot flying just dropped it onto the runway too hard and right gear failed.
  12. Entirely possible.
  13. This ability to just open the valves has always been attributed to the Saudis. I know back in petroleum engineering days on the 40 acres, we looked at typical west Texas reservoir structure and Middle East reservoir structure, and they (ME) were an order of magnitude larger and more apt to flow. I haven't studied it in detail or even big picture, but at some point in time even the Saudis' reservoirs have to deplete.
  14. Wall Street Journal says ALL passengers and crew evacuated.
  15. I sat across from Edwin Simmons in the Student health center in early spring semester of his freshman year. He was already wearing knee braces at that point, when we still had hope he was the next great UT running back.
