This wouldnt occur if horseback was the only legal form of transportation

Where would you put your Toll Tag at?

Because nobody ever got hurt on a horse.

[YALE]

The act of consciously contemplating an act of illegal activity must be made illegal

Seriously, crapstang, I hope your friends get better. There's nothing cool about what happened.

Ban horses!

And what made the heat shield fail? Heat? Where did the heat come from? Friction. Why was there friction? Speed of the vehicle entering the atmosphere.

Semantics are very important, if you ask me. They are the differences in most things in life.

A piece of foam insulation broke off during take off, striking the wing. If you are travelling the speed limit on the way to work, just as you've done every morning previously, and a tie rod breaks, would you say that it was your speed that made you veer off the road and caused the accident? No.

We've all made stupid decisions in our lives, sometimes there are no consequences, other times tragic things can happen. Hopefully your fiends pull though, they have my prayers...

What caused the foam insulation to break?

The Board determined that physical and organizational causes played an equal role in the Columbia accident - that the NASA organizational culture had as much to do with the accident as the foam that struck the Orbiter on ascent.

Speaking of pelican dodging in the tags...I almost hit a huge crane on I20 on Christmas eve. Flew across the road really low. Just barely missed the truck. I doubt anyone was filming it though.

Thanks man. They are both home as of today.

Sounds like the mustang did it's job and saved their lives.

One thing I've learned in my time is that mustangs are unforgivable. I've lost it more then id care to admit, I've been able to drive my way out of it, or make the best of a shitty situation.

Sideways into a ditch at 130+ and sliding for 50-70yrds into a drainage ditch, some how I managed to get 6feet of air and land backwards in the ditch on the oppisite side of the road. I thought it was over and I was sure I was going to start rolling. I got lucky and to this day, speeding isn't what it used to be. That scared the shit out of me.

I just hope he learns like I did. It's just not worth it.
