Comments on: Minnesota Plane Crash http://www.techbanyan.com/639/raytheon-hawker-800-minnesota-plane-crash/ American Trends Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:27:37 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Keith http://www.techbanyan.com/639/raytheon-hawker-800-minnesota-plane-crash/comment-page-1/#comment-6267 Keith Mon, 04 Aug 2008 01:42:09 +0000 http://www.techbanyan.com/?p=639#comment-6267 OK, and again I apologize for my tone. And as for the Leftist comment, I guess I was reacting to what little I read about some Obama book review or something. It's just that plane crashes get such a huge amount of media coverage which is so often so distorted. The conclusive report won't be out for a year or so and already the preliminary data suggests that "trying to land during a thunderstorm" was not what happened. So it seemed as though commenting that pilots should check the weather was a little inappropriate or was just about stirring up people like myself. OK, and again I apologize for my tone.

I am no aviation expert and I proffered what I thought would be a logical point - if the crash took place because of a thunderstorm, why not gather information on the weather beforehand - but like Kevin mentioned, and I might add, in a civilized manner, weather keeps changing and its hard to keep track. You might know the ins and outs of aviation but don't expect a layman (me) to know this. What do leftists or rightists have to do with this issue? And I apologize about editing the comment, my bad, but you ought to show some decency as well. Its not like I am disrespecting the dead. I have been quiet lenient about commenting on this site. Check the comments here for instance - http://www.techbanyan.com/640/jerome-corsi-obama-nation-book/ Keith, I don’t know what beef you have with me.

I'm sorry for the comment earlier but you should resist passing judgment with regard to some fellow professionals who just lost their lives and stick to what you know which at first glance seems to be a typical leftist view. wow tech banyan, that was real tricky changing my post like that!

Weather changes constantly and will change and move from the time the fight left 2 hrs prior. We do everything in our power to keep flights safe.
