Twin engine down near downtown ATL

[T-Gates]

The opening paragraph of the AJC story:

"A twin-engine private plane crashed into the congested Martin Luther King Jr. Historic District this morning, according to Atlanta police. The King site was not damaged."

God help us all if the King Center had been damaged! There would have been riots over the actions of the "Racist Baron pilot"

"Bubba Gump" just reported as a witness that "all you heard man wuz a aeroplane goin' "rouw rouw rouw rouw" an den you saw dis aeroplane jus droppin' out uf da sky and den BOOM an I wen runnin' man. I'z like "I ain't stayin hear-ah."

Nothing like a good eyewitness account. Sounded more like a re-enactment from him running from the police last night.

I'd go back to Knoxville if my mother wasn't still there.

That bad, huh? A city that size, and there's not room for the two of you?

Could I pay her a visit the next time I'm there?

I'll pay her to stay!

I hate ATL. I really, really do.

Bad news. Horrible customer service. Terrible traffic. P!ss-poor entertainment. Sucky weather. Corrupt government.

I wish I could move to... well, he!!, anywhere. I'd go back to Knoxville if my mother wasn't still there.

Everyone has their opinion...


I really wonder what caused it to crash. At least they hit an abandoned building

Do what you want... but I'm not going to be responsible for your tetanus shot or other medical treatment required when you're finished with her.

I watched the video feed from the 11 News copter. Another brilliant quote - "Well, Jim Bob and I are both pilots" (duh - IF not, who's flying the thing) Then he goes on to say that "there are a lot of broadcasting antennas around, maybe he caught one of the guidewires." I think this guy has spent a few to many hours low level in a helo, where he has to worry about them. But a Baron would've been at least through 5000 at that point, if not higher.

And is this supposed to be an attempt at humor?

I didn't think it was funny either. But 5 minutes after I read that post, I actually heard the guy he was quoting on the radio. I'd say his translation is a work of art. I'd never be able to decipher that.

 

[Mr. Cole]

Nope I don't live in ATL, but does it matter? I actually grew up about an hour away in Alabama and I've spent enough time in ATL to know it. I don't see how this is ATL specific. Maybe he was referring to a certain segment of the Atlanta population?

Dave

You don't live in ATL do you?

That was funny as hell. I for one do appreciate the time and talent that goes into learning two languages. If it wasn't for the gentleman who speaks both ebonics and english, I would be at a loss as to the size of the weapon, and people involved.

 

[Mr. Cole]

Ok, I admit that was funny.

Yes. I believe he was referring to the poor, down-trodden, welfare-mooching, uneducated, civicly-disinterested black population that not only makes up the majority of the City's citizenry, but also controls the corrupt government, major local broadcast networks and a plethora of small businesses.

I'm not racist. I don't like poor, trashy, uneducated white people either.

The Mexicans are about the only d@mn ones that put in an honest day's work around here.

 

[Mr. Cole]

I'm still trying to figure out whether you were being sarcastic or serious.

On which point(s)?

 

[Mr. Cole]

Why don't you tell me which points you were serious about?

All of 'em.
