"News blackout"
Regular readers will know that it's not my habit to mock and ridicule the various "oppressed" peoples of the earth. It's not Political Correctness, which I hate and despise; rather, it's just not my style.
But this is.....unbelievable! Morons! We have here racial/ethnic/religious/regional imbecility!
....The takeoff warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had all 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to takeoff but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.) Then one of the ADAT [Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies] crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm.
This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air.
The computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on.
Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $80 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it.
The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown, for there has been a news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere. Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Moslem Arabs. Finally, the photos are starting to leak out.
Actually, my contempt for those brain-damaged (by a sick culture) Arabs is minor compared to my contempt for the French. "News blackout" indeed. That's not surprising, since they've had—how many now, 10 or 20 thousand?—cars torched by "youths," without ever mentioning that they are all Moslem criminals? The French are liars and cowards! A culture of lies and cowardice. Nihilism. They've rebelled against God, and now we see them sink back into the slime.

Posted by John Weidner at May 30, 2008 02:45 PMIs each news article in which a white guy does something really, really, really dumb proof of "racial/ethnic/religious/regional imbecility"? Because I've read about some awfully dumb white guys.

Thank you for the link.
BTW, I'm impressed that you're an open conservative in SF. That can be dangerous, my friend! I applaud your values and your bravery.
Posted by: Bookworm at May 30, 2008 06:42 PMBookworm, I'm not really brave, I keep a fairly low profile in this city I love.
And Punning, I have never in my life heard of seven white (by which you presumably mean Western; Arabs are white) guys, supposedly experts at their job, screw up together in such a colossal way.
More precisely, this is nothing racial, it's cultural. In no "white" culture would anyone get to handle the world's biggest plane without years—decades—of demanding training and practice in increasingly large aircraft. With plenty of "weeding out" happening along the way. With thousands of hours of simulator practice, watched over by tough inspectors. The occasional goofball might slip through, but seven on the same team? No.
Individually we are no smarter or better than Arabs. Culturally we are superior in almost every way. And the French news-media's refusal to point this out (and your PC sneers) are both manifestations of a hatred of our Western culture. Your instinct, when faced with Western superiority, is not to praise but to attack, to tear down. And to blur the truth.
