The passenger who died onboard a Singapore Airlines jet travelling from the UK today was a 73-year-old British man, Thai officials have confirmed.

After around 11 hours of flying time from take off in London, the aircraft hit an air pocket and sharply dropped 6,000 feet in five minutes, unleashing mayhem and forcing it to make an emergency landing at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport.

Terrified passengers have described how they had little warning to put their seatbelts on before the aircraft suddenly dropped while the crew were serving breakfast, with one passenger saying people were 'launched into the ceiling' as the plane fell through the sky.

One million barrels, that’s what less than one sixth of what Americans use in a day?

You aren't fooling me, Buster!

Based upon your posting history and despite your BS, I'll bet my last dollar you aren't going to drag your carcass to the polls this November to "...vote down ticket" or to "...hold my nose and vote for Trumpy".


If I can get there, or vote absentee, either way, I will... I have a senator to vote for. And a governor.

I will not be voting the top of the ticket.

People don’t plop their hard earned money down on a ticket to go hear a performers political views, or have them tell them who to vote for

I hear Roger Waters is really bad with this behavior

I have always, even since day 1 have thought that Springsteen was over-rated.  He is/was propped up by the Rolling Stoned Critic Clown Car since the beginning.   Born To Run was good, the following 3 so-so, and then everything else frisbee quality.
I guess now he’s born to run to Australia, has he checked to see if they even want him?

Roy Orbison fed Bruces inflated ego early on.

So I suppose using a thermometer would also be practicing medicine without a license... On people or animals... They are just professional gate keepers using the state to protect their turf.
