Small Fire Causes Edwards' Plane To Return To RDU

POSTED: 11:11 pm EDT October 29, 2004
RALEIGH, N.C. -- A camera battery caught part of vice-presidential candidate John Edwards' plane on fire shortly after takeoff at 10 p.m. Friday.

John Edwards was in Raleigh Friday for a campaign rally at Dorton Arena.

The battery, in a still photographer's camera, caught part of a seat on the plane on fire.

The plane then circled around and as a security precaution landed back at RDU International Airport. Crews repaired the problem and the plane took off again around 11:30 p.m. No one was hurt in the incident.

The plane was en route to Marietta, Ohio, after Edwards spent Friday evening in Raleigh at a rally that included a Jon Bon Jovi concert.

The visit to Raleigh was Edwards' last campaign stop in his home state before Tuesday's election.

I wonder if Edwards will sue the battery manufacturer, camera maker, seat designer, photographer, etc etc etc?

I'm sure he will, he won't be too busy after November 2nd.

With maturity like that on the Bush/Cheney side, we can't lose! Unless, of course, they change the laws so 7th graders can vote. Keep 'em coming guys, they're hilarious.
