1. Not terrorism
   
Bush's fault.

4. I'm relieved nothing bad happened to her!
   
Michelle Obama is one of the women I admire the most. And I love her too.

7. The ATC needs to be tied to the White House fence and be horsewhipped within an inch of his life
   
We need him to be an example.

28. Especially for the Amish who seems angry.
   
Can we discuss Raygun's busting up of the Air Traffic Controller's Union? I suppose not, just horsewhip the workers.

You do know that they are all union members again?

14. These are MILITARY ATC personnel
   
not FAA personnel.

Just a little factoid to add to the soup.

20. Looks to me, FTA, that a civilian ATC made the error when
   
handing the flight off from Warrenton control center to military control at Andrews AFB.

Ouch!  The noob slams nadin on her little factoid.

16. Heads should roll.

Where is the support for these people that was shown to the other sleeping controllers?

22. What. The. F**k!??!
   
What the hell has happened of late... did we forget how to direct air traffic all of a sudden?

I wonder if LaHood's head rolls for this HUGE blunder.

I'm not ready to assign blame until more facts are brought forward but this does NOT look good.

The union members now have a friend in the White Mosque.

Good grief, what next?

Oh yeah, that thread pissed me off.  Let em sleep!  It's hard and stressful to look at a computer screen all day!  They should have 3 or 4 backup employees to spell them! 

Of course, the DUmp denizens stare at a computer screen all day, it's just different.  Pron and the DUmp.

Come on now, I blame the Wright Brothers for inventing the airplane.  These people are stealing my oxygen.
