  1. The analytical brain in me wonders how much trial and error went into finding the right size probe that would pull a sufficient amount of water quickly without jerking the nose down too hard towards the water.  That's some serious science at work right there.

  2. I'm not a pilot, but it sounds more like a crap ton of pilot error.  Even if they did lose both engines to bird strikes (a la Miracle on the Hudson), they were airborne more than twice the amount of time that Sully was, plus they did a go around teardrop which would be next to impossible with no thrust.  Could the APU have been damaged and wouldn't start?  Maybe, but with the redundancy built into airlines I would think that would be highly unlikely.

    This isn't hard to understand.  The faculty "no confidence" vote.  The PLO sympathizers vandalizing his home a couple of times. 

    SMU and a big home in Highland Park (where they actually have a responsive police force) sounds like a nice change of pace.  Hope that he does well.

    Has anyone ever come out with an official version of what he was actually saying?  Surely this isn't it.  And yes, I'm calling you Shirley.
