"The Airbus A-300’s landing gear failed," the DT reports.

oooo

Does that mean the plane skidded to a stop at Las Americas?

If so, then the 276 people on board were lucky to return to earth alive.

"The plane landed to l0: l7, without major difficulties," the DT reports; you see ... "it just didn't have its landing gear. No big deal."

If a wing had fallen off, would that had been a major difficulty?

"Not necessarily."

"Ladies and gentlemen, by the time of your return trip to Miami, the landing gear will be fixed, but I can't assure you that we will keep both of our wings during the return flight."

Sangwong, even if it is your real name, you lack comprehension.

You missed the point that AA says the failure of the landing gear isn't a "major difficulty" during a landing.

You are too stupid to know this is false.

So, you can't see consistency in the logic of asking whether lost of a wing is a "major difficulty once someone ridiculously maintains the lost of landing gear isn't a "major difficulty" during landing.

You most likely believe that a lost of either a wing or landing gear is not a "major difficulty" if your divine capitalist says it isn't.

But a dog or even a cat on the plane, unlike a cappie behind-kisser and idiot like you, knows the lost of landing gear or, by extension, a wing is a major difficulty.

BellyHole .. apologize or rot in hell for the rest of your life .. there is no gabbing your way out of this predicament of your own making .. you should learn to keep your mouth shut in cases such as these .. don't try to make fun of such a serious issue .. you are now dancing around your own semantic storm .. Is English your native language? I can forgive you if you were born Eskimo or a Pygmy from the Congo .. but really is English your native tongue? do you understand written English? did you graduate from Elemetary School? Grade School? High School? are you illiterate? your writing certaing bears that out .. let's start there ..

Rarely will see my take Belials side but that is only because we don't agree with each others politics.

I have to say this but, Wang Chung may have been to school and has a decent understanding of the English language but thats all.

Dude you take things out of context and your lashing out to the poster's here is proof that you don't get it or you are an idio?

It's like someone saying "oh that was a peice of cake" where I am sure you would say ""that was a peice of pies"

Don't let me discourage you from trying to master American English, jus tbe careful if you walk into the wrong bar in Texas..

I would like to crack those nuts hanging between your torso Mr. VerbalDiarrhoea .. why do you keep contradicting yourself Mr. VerbalDiarrhoea .. from one corner of your ugly mouth you try tearing me to shreads .. then for apparently no good reason, from the other corner of your mouth, you try to warn me about the bars in Texas .. you should not warn me about those bars .. just let me wander into them and have barefoot, ignoramus, inbred, redneck shoot me right between the eyes .. so where does this little conflict originate? you are either my friend or my enemy .. if I am your enemy then why warn me about bars in Texas? I don't seem to have a great deal of problem comprehending your English .. your logic just sucks .. you seem confused .. too much cocaine snorted up the schnoz perhaps? doing a little meth on the side .. that stuff will rot your brain cowboy .. but that's exactly what I want to see .. a rotting of your brain .. no contradiction there cowpoop ..

There is no such thing as American English .. there may be an American accent .. but I don't see where you found "American English" .. in some backwoods red neck bar on the outskirts of Amarillo? what the heck are you talking about Senor VerbalDiarrhoea .. so there should be a "German English" then ..

Those Airbus A300s, even with regular maintenance, have been on the Carribean routes for 19 years!. AA has no plans to replace them anytime soon, they carry a large number of people a relative short distance (1000 miles each trip) economicly (Europe is @ 3000 miles each way). I would take Jet Blue, their planes are less than 8 years old.

Put BellyHole on one of those poorly maintained planes .. the ones with the wings occasionally coming off at 37,000' ASL .. make him the only passenger on a remote controlled drone sent into Iraq .. that should teach the baboon a lesson .. not to make fun of airplane emergencies .. that bloody monkey has no idea how terrifying it must have been for the passengers on that flight .. freightened mothers must have been clutching their babies .. many were saying their last prayers .. asking God to show mercy .. Dominican emergency personnel were frantically rushing in response to what could have been a major tragedy .. then we have this gorilla here making fun of their plight .. rot in hell BellyHole ..

Yes .. welcome to the new fraternity of arm chair pilots .. I see that each and every one of you brainless twits here also owns and operates an airline .. you even fly fighter jets into combat on a regular basis .. yet you are too scared to reveal your real names here on the blog .. why don't you reveal your real names? .. why the NomDePlumes? What are your real names Girlie Men? You are probably drug dealers and smugglers on the lam .. afraid to reveal your true identity ..

I am assuming that Sangwong is on some kind of medication, as I have read some of his posts and they are in fact well written and objective. i see his point...assuming he is in fact male.
Then he enters the drug phase and Sangwong becomes SumDhumfuk...spewing out rambles and crap...barely comprehensible...at times pathetically entertaining...and lacking any kind of reason.

Sangwong...please be civil!

Thanks

Only one brave soul? .. PuntaCannabisMiguel .. what about the rest of you baboons? .. what are your real names? .. How did you know I was on medication Dr. PuntaCannabisMiguel? You must have an ESP.. or a PCP .. or a CIA .. or a DEA .. or an FBI .. or an MIA Degree in Medicine or all of the above .. that's a lot of medical degrees Doc .. and where may I ask did you get your training? BJU? you certainly sound like somebody from that school .. it is a great school with a WHO'S WHO of the most famous people on the planet .. but I can't seem to remember any of them right now .. it must be my medication which you seem to know so much about .. so tell me .. what kind of medication are you on PuntaCannabisMiguel? Strichnine? Cyanide? Phenobarbitol? Lithium? Prozac? Which one is your favorite? Why? None of those are strong enough for me .. those are for Girlie Men like you .. real men use traditional Dominican medicines .. clean and completely legal ..

Sang...give it up....you bore us.

I hear MTV has a great thread for the type of adolescent diatribes that seem to be your strong point.

It's a shame that all of the education dollars spent on you resulted in what you are today...which based on your rambles, appears to be a total waste.

Why not come to Punta Cana...I can have a beer...you can have a RedBull (just to mellow you out), and we can talk eye to eye. Thanks to you , I now know what an human a-hole sounds like....I just want to see what one looks like to complete the picture.

The little bell in your empty head perhaps? Do you hear a ringing sound when you shake your skull? What rings?

You have quite a history of having a dificult time blending in with society. Seems back in 2002 on DR1...you had no better attitude than you do today and got shut out of that forum. Now we have you here...how lucky we feel...a self-taught know it all with no social aptitude. Simply a mouth that spews grade school sentences, and sexual inuendo.

You claim to be Dominican, or at least live here. Either way, you have done a wonderful job of distancing yourself from anyone here...I would hate to think that you represent the people of this country...or any country for that matter.

I have no problem not responding to your to your..as you quoted above..." your verbal diarrhoea .. your bloody arrogance .. your bloody ignorance ".

You are a clown. Clowns are amusing, usually for a couple of minutes, at which point they become tiresome and predictible....just like you.

BTW...from DR1...April 2002....

"You are half right, but it's a DR open forum, not a forum for you to vent your anger about the USA.
As for your personal attacks on others for their opinions and letting you know you are getting off track for this forum, it certainly demonstrates some mental or emotional instability of your own.
Perhaps it's time you relax a bit, or if you need to vent your anger, take it to an appropriate place.
We are here to exchange information and opinions about the DR, and help out those who wish to travel or live here.
This forum provides a great service to many and should not be abused.
