Press conference for the plane crash today. They said the pilot reported a bird strike.

A reporter asked, if it was terrorist related.


Someone should have stopped the press conference and gone back and smacked that reporter.

2. They do. But their union leaders are completely cuckoo and poop on their workers all the time.

13. That's brilliant.
I think that Homeland Security should institute mandatory screening of all birds in U.S. air space.

11. Well another reporter asked if they had found the black box.
I can't remember who was answering at the time, but they answered "It's in the plane, in the water."
