9/11 didn't teach some Americans about humility

[Kennyredline]

I find this attitude pretty sad, coming from an American Airlines pilot; you'd think they'd be a little nicer to Canadians considering how much we helped them through 9/11 when their planes were being hijacked and flown into their landmarks....:dunno:

I don't see how this relates to 9/11 or humility, but rather some mis-information given by a pilot.

[CUG]

I don't see the relevance to 9/11, but ignorant as shit about the pilot.

On top of that, I'm positive the pilot knew why the smoke was there. They kinda have to know, fucking roaches.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: What does this have to do with 9/11? On another note.... I just booked a flight for 9/11 (It was a seat sale)

There *is* a lot of smoke coming out of Ft Mcmurray. It just happens to float mostly over uninhabited Northern Saskatchewan.

You can't burn natural gas at a 1 barrel of oil for every 2 barrels of oil extraction level, and a few million barrels without having an awful lot of carbon emissions.

An airplane pilot at 60,000 feet could easily hit a pocket of it if he is doing an alaska or over the pole flight. It would probably be just like flying through rainclouds, in that it can totally black out vision over the horizon (just a guess, but probably a valid one)

Still, I imagine its no different than trying to land on a bad smog day at LAX, when the sky turns from orange to red.

It is immensely ironic that this comment came from an airplane pilot... you know, the guy who works in a industry that lives and dies on the price of oil and is responsible for approximately 2% of total global CO2 emissions... :rolleyes:

This is pretty accurate. Evil carbon condenses in the upper atmosphere into blobs, and airliners flying 20000ft higher than their maximum cruising altitude often have difficulty with them. Carbon blobs are also another reason why the moon landing is fake. The idea that a space craft can penetrate a carbon blob is ludicrous.

CNG is clean burning remember - O2 / h2o emissions - little/no carbon emissions.

Or at least thats what they claim to try to get you to convert your car to CNG...

ZenOps said it, it must be true!!! :nut:

What relevance does the smoke over ft mcmurray (700km from here) have to do with a pilot landing in calgary? The smoke over calgary was from forest fires in bc. The pilot had no business making a stupid remark like that. What an ignorant asshole.

[thetransporter]

what does that have to do with a 9/11 that happened almost 10 years ago?

so what he said smoke from the oilsands, its a joke people shouldnt be offended.

that sense of humor rules.

[Tram Common]

It has nothing to do with 9/11 other than the fact the OP is a fucking idiot.
