| You'll notice the firefighters standing around while the aircraft burns !! Especially while the lady pulls on the hose ! I hope it's not strike damage. Charles

| If those two knuckleheads were finally able to communicate with each other that the airplane was on fire, perhaps they put it out. And don't get me started on tramp stamps. Wonder if her knees are callused and her tatoo area is well conditioned.

| Too funny folks - I didn't take the picture, it was sent to me from a friend of my father in law's who knew the guy. I can't understand why the firemen weren't more assertive, perhaps they thought the seat was hot.
