"...But I have heard a lot about the Bush administration and its GOP allies relaxing safety regulations on behalf of their corporate masters.
Can you imagine what the story would have been yesterday if the Republican, free-market model had been in place?
I can, and it makes me shudder."
This was in regard to the airliners forced landing in the Hudson on January 15 2008.
Good grief, the things people will believe.

Had No Idea
Story behind Lynrd Skynrds plane crash.
"The legendary Southern rockers had just released their 1977 album, Street Survivors, when they chartered a plane to take them from Greenville, South Carolina to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Engine problems caused the plane to run out of gas and crash into a wooded swamp in Gillsburg, Mississippi. Frontman Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines and vocalist Cassie Gaines were all killed, and most of the rest of the bandmembers were seriously injured. Rumors that Van Zant had been decapitated in the crash by a Betamax video player persist today despite copious evidence to the contrary. Immediately following the crash, drummer Artimus Pyle ran nearly a mile with broken ribs to get help from a nearby farmhouse, but the farmer freaked at the sight of the bloodied drummer and shot him in the shoulder with a shotgun, further injuring him but sparing his life.
