Flight from Rio lands on taxiway

[jasonpeoria911]

I think the same flight slot that Bradley took from Rio to ATL landed on a taxiway this morning. It was still dark out but the pilots failed to follow the runway light pattern. Fortunately the taxiway was clear or else their would of been 300+ deaths. The pilots have been "Relieved of Duty".

On a side note, the Rio gun battles this past weekend killed 21 people, including 2 Officers killed when that Copter was gunned down.

Good luck with the Olympics! Brazil will need their national army for security.

Just follow China's model, build enough pollution around the city so you can "choke" out the criminals, just turn off the pollution machines before the olympics.

I'm not at all an environmentalist, but something is wrong when my sister staying in South Korea noted that their air was better during the olympics...

perhaps it's because China was making too many batteries for the Prius?

Northwest Airlines is part of Delta Air Lines

A Northwest Airlines flight from San Diego, California, overshot the Minneapolis, Minnesota, airport by about 150 miles Wednesday evening, and federal investigators are looking into whether the pilots had become distracted, as they claimed, or perhaps fell asleep.
