Don't forget Brett Farve's retired jersey and Brett Farve.

Again, nothing of value was at risk.

Hi!

I knew 2 guys that flew about 2 1/2 hours, through the center of the US, with no ATC contact because they were arguing about religon the whole time.

So, I guess Congress will want to outlaw talking in the cockpit? Sterile cockpit from pushback to block in???

Isn't any of this on ATC live?

Sources told FOX News there were three NORDO's --- or non-contacts -- the first one occurring shortly after the plane reached cruising altitude out of San Diego.

This doesn't make sense. First, their terminology is screwed up, a 'NORDO' is an aircraft not in radio contact. Second, I don't think the author means there were three aircraft not in radio contract I'm guessing he means NWA188 went out of radio contact three separate times. In other words they missed a radio call three times. The last one is really the only one that matters. If this is the case I would say the original estimate of 78 minutes is closer to the actual time of no radio contact.

I'm guessing the author misunderstood something he read or something someone told him. It makes sense to me that a crew that would fly a significant amount of time without contacting anyone may have missed a few calls before that.

In character huh. Do you think that someone as serious as Bill O'Reilly would go for someone coming on his show and making fun of everything he says and stands for? I doubt it he got beat at his own game and pretty bad. Furthermore lets just say for the sake of argument that he was in character, that just shows how serious a news network Fox actually is if they have interviews with characters.

Like he said, nothing of value.
