Memorial Day weekend in Miami usually involves someone getting shot at the ghetto trash festival. At least the cops had a good reason to use force this time.

Families Of Drunk Passengers Sue Over Fatal Crash

atleo.jpg

The families of three passengers killed in a British Columbia floatplane crash that an investigation revealed was likely caused by the drunken antics of one of them are suing the charter airline, saying the pilot should have known better than to let them aboard. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. the suit also blames pilot Damon York, who also died in the crash, for not wearing a shoulder harness "so as to prevent being jammed into the control panel" when the backseat passenger behind him kicked the back of his seat. As we reported last year, the Canadian Transportation Safety Board report suggested the passengers were too drunk to realize how unwise their actions were. "It is likely that passenger interference caused the pilot to lose control of the aircraft whereupon it descended in a steep nose-down attitude until it struck the water," the report says. "It is possible the passengers' level of intoxication contributed to their inability to recognize the gravity of the situation and stop the interference in time for the pilot to regain control of the aircraft before impact."

The aircraft hit the water off Ahousat, an isolated community on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The three passengers, Samantha Mattersdorf, Edward Sam and his sister Katrina Sam-English, hired the aircraft to fly to nearby Tofino to buy liquor after being refused a ride on a water taxi. Ahousat is a dry aboriginal community. Witnesses told the TSB the passengers were clearly intoxicated and were arguing before they got on the plane at Tofino for the return trip, carrying a case of beer and several bottles of liquor. The TSB also noted that York could also have refused the charter if he believed the passengers were likely to cause safety problems.

He would have probably been sued if he didn't carry them.

Or at the very least, fired.

What a shitty way to go.

What do you do all day that you find gems like this?

Well, I'm on page 45,634,243 of Google's search results for boobs so far.

If that doesn't deserve a bronze star, then I don't know what does.

I don't know really what to say on this one...

That is annoying as hell, especially when they think they are making a statement. No one gives a shit that you have kids and are a mother. It is disgusting. Do that in private.

Yes... feeding your children is disgusting. :banghead:

Breastfeeding is the biological norm for humans. They shouldn’t be forced into hiding just because female breasts have been so sexualized that they cannot be seen as anything but a pair of fun bags for pleasure.

Get over your incredibly small comfort zone and immaturity. If you don't want to see it... don't look. How fuckin' hard is that?

This might be worth saving for future playback...

It is no one's business but the mother's. She should do it behind closed doors and especially NOT in uniform trying to make a political statement.

Forcing them into hiding? OK Captain Hyperbole. There are restrooms for that kind of thing. Do you think female breasts are just recently a subject of sexual desire? And you want to lecture me on biological norms?

Oh I am sorry my say on the matter infringes on your right to breast-feed in the middle of the baking aisle at the fucking grocery store. Or on base in uniform. Completely appropriate places to flash and feed.

Contradict yourself much?

There are restrooms for that kind of thing.

The restroom? Where people urinate and defecate? Do you eat your dinner sitting on the toilet? No? Why not? I guess you've never heard the phrase "Don't shit where you eat".

Do you think female breasts are just recently a subject of sexual desire? And you want to lecture me on biological norms?

No. Religion did that. Have you ever seen a National Geographic? For many cultures that have not been exposed to religion breasts are not sexually objectified but rather seen for what they are... a food source for infants.

flash and feed

You just proved my point. You're sexualizing the act.
