Absolute Luck--This Is Usually ALL Bad

Skydivers' plane collides with another @ 9000feet, loses wings, catches fire, everybody dies....NOT!!!!

Well, that about fits my criteria for when I would ever jump out of an airplane.

Lost both wings, and on fire.

No words... :shock:
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Yep, I'm with those guys on this one.

Ditto. Never understood people whose idea of fun is jumping out of a perfectly flyable airplane.

As far as I'm concerned parachutes exist for two reasons:

1) The airplane is going to crash, whether you're in it or not, best not.

2) It's absolutely imperative that you be at a particular place on the ground, and the aircraft can't/won't land to drop you off.

But what a story! There I was, 9,000 feet, no wings, engines on fire, crammed in shoulder-to-shoulder with a bunch of punk kid skydivers --.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
