I blame FOIE GRAS!
From the New York Times story:
“When a reporter asked Mr. Kausner how his family is taking the news that his sister was killed in the crash he said: “I heard my mother make a sound into the phone that I had never heard before. So, not good.” “

What kind of person asks “So, how is your family taking the news that your sister was just killed in a plane crash?” I mean, seriously. Jesus Christ.
always sad …
Propeller planes always seem more scary. I looked up the stats. Not sure what ‘scheduled’ means, but looks like big airliners are best. Where’s my %$#-ing high speed rail?
Type of Flight Fatalities per million hours
Airliner 4.03
Commuter Airline (scheduled) 10.74
Commuter Plane (unscheduled) 12.24
Private Aviation 22.43
@4: commuter airlines have more flights per hour than commercial airliners…
I’d guess that “unscheduled” means chartered flights.
Clarence is western NY, not upstate.
There, I’ve done my snarky duties for the day.
Everything not New York City or Long Island is “upstate.”
As if Buffalo didn’t have the worst luck already. Another extra shitty day for the City with no Illusions.
@8, everything north of 28th Street is “upstate”.
Not WELL, dumbfuck.
ps- sorry your sister is dead.
