Everywhere you hear people chitter-chattering about it and it's all from the MSM trying to prime their own pump with "talking about what everybody's talking about and we then have to talk about the talking" bit. As I surmised and suffered through the OJ case; it was a good gauge of intelligence: The more someone talked about it; the more stupid they were.

CNN should rename itself the lost airliner network. NFL Network should rename itself the "we are constantly looking for anything to report on the New York Jets, even if it's just how many farts Rex Ryan cut this morning network".

I guess someone has to get out of the plane and start Pushing once they run out of gas to maintain Altitude.

If they can't stay in the air with empty fuel tanks, they're clearly unsafe!

And every other engine driven aircraft.
I think this a conspiracy by the oil companies and it should be investigated.

Why should something as minor as a simple lack of fuel cause a giant airliner to lose altitude?
