Yadaa yada yada.

Now they are going to change all the planes so what happened to flight 800 can never happen again.

A fuel tank armored so a missile can't go through it will be so heavy the plane will stay safely on the ground.

Fly an Abrahms!

I've always fantasized about driving a tank down the road.

The 'funny' bit in that FAA recommendation is that the tank replacements -- if implemented at all, since a cost-benefit analysis first must be performed, heh --don't have to be completed 'til 2025. Like I'm gonna want to board a fifty-five-year-old jet???

Sideways to all of that, the NTSB still has not released its official findings of Flight 587 that crashed shortly after take-off when its composite tail assembly sheared off and its twin engines fell off before it crashed. No way they're going to come out and recommend that the Airbus A300 needs to be redesigned...
