And get compensation for not getting compensation - I like that :-)

Considering some of the crazy things that go through the courts,
You may find that it is against your europain human rights to not have got compensation because of the disappointment it caused,
You may think `this is a load of stupid plop` but it works for some people,

Oh my God, it killed Kenny! You &^#%&@!

Oh my God, it killed Kenny! You &^#%&@!

ROFLMAO...

Anyone interested in a secondhand satellite?

One previous "Lady" owner.
Needs a new battery.
Comes from a smoke free home.
Suitable for spares or repairs.
Prefer buyer to collect but can post
but will be expensive due to weight.

I haven't seen any news reports yet about the welfare of the kids in the bus.........

No, nothing at all in the news that I've seen either. I'm getting really concerned about the children now. And also I wonder what secret school NASA did run in orbit, or perhaps the bus was a commuter type school bus to and from a NASA run school on the space station, or perhaps even on the moon.

There's still lots of questions to be answered concerning the school bus, and what happened to the children....

I think it's a coverup.
NASA is now saying they cannot verify the exact whereabouts of the bus.
I smell a conspiracy brewing.......

We need to find people who have seen some black helicopters along the path the school bus was on, prior to it entering the atmosphere. I agree, this is definitely a conpiracy...

For sure....we know NASA has the capability to track the movements of a gnat's behind anywhere in the world. And they're trying to tell us they don't know where the bus went?????

Gosh, I sure hope it isn't one of Eric's previous projects. If it is, let me be the first to apologize in advance to anyone it might bean.

@ NASA Twitter:
"We can now confirm that #UARS is down! Debris fell to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23, and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24."

For the lazy onces here, care to post a link.

Nevermind, I will look it up.

Nasa's press release http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2011/sep/HQ_11-350_UARS_Re-entry.html

My late local news (2200 PDT Fox / 2300 PDT NBC) reported that the impact was in the northern Pacific, most probably west of Washington State / British Columbia Canada. No reports of landfall or boats picking up debris.

@sten-arne: In that area, it would have to be black-ops submarines, not helos.
If I hear anything from my shipmates at Silverdale..........

For the funbirds of you, I decided to rename the titel from:
Look to the sky, you could be hit by a 'school bus'!
To:
UARS satellite came back to earth.

Maybe this will help you to come back to topic.

Thanks.

Fer cryin' out loud, Sutaru, this is the Cafe'.
The rules are more relaxed here.
NOTHING is scared, just about EVERYTHING is fair game for having fun.
Lighten up.

Perhaps we should move this to "Science - non seti" ?

Or maybe close it completely. The bird came down in the Pacific.
Unless they find some floating debris, the story is over.

I don't understand you.

What mean 'fer'?

The Google translater can't translate it.
So I guess it's something colloquial for people which have english as motherlanguage.
Why you don't look to the left to the country flags, not all are native english speaker.

Some can't imagine how difficult it's to follow a forum in foreign language.


I opened the thread, I thought I could say how and where the thread could be.


Anyway, whatever.

I hate when school buses full of kids burn up upon reentry and land in the Pacific

Yes, as Chris notes, it is a colloquialism, some might call it a Colonialism. The phrase is typically an expression of frustration. My main point was in the 2nd and 3rd sentences, not the first.

The flag in a person's profile is NOT, by itself, a good indicator of his/her proficiency in English. Many of the regular posters here in the Cafe' have German and other European flags, yet without the flag I would not have guessed that they were not native English speakers. Some folks with American flags in their profiles do not seem to have a good command of English. From reading your posts in other Forum sections, including our own previous exchanges, I am well aware that you are not a native English speaker. And having only a partial command of Spanish and French, I DO know how difficult it can be. And working through a translator can be difficult for ALL parties to the conversation.

I opened the thread, I thought I could say how and where the thread could be.

Yes, and that is the point I was trying to address. Here in the Cafe', the rules on what is "off-topic", and how much "control" the Original Poster has over Thread content are, by definition, less strict than in the more technical sections. Discussions WILL go off on tangents. Humour WILL be injected into a discussion. The main rules are of civility - keep it clean, no Personal attacks, no overt Politics, and no Profanity or nudity. Beyond that, the Cafe is a free-flowing conversation among friends and acquaintances, just like in a real cafe' or bistro.

I'm sorry you didn't understand that.
