First, they got the ATC lingo wrong. You wouldn't land on 9R eastbound or westbound, you would land on 9R going toward the east and something along the lines of 27L or 24L going west. Second, it is really nice to know someone thought the collision of two planes, ostensibly holding more than 200 people each, was funny. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Fletcher <fletchrh@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: AIRLINE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Mon, 24 Apr 2006 12:31:32 -0700 Subject: FW: Good Plan!!
