Nice flying, bet the passengers had a few whoopsie moments :-) Probably would have been worth going around earlier, but the Pilot Flying made the right choice to go around after that bounce on touch down and not try to stay down. Grant Darwin NT |

The moment a 96-year-old driver flew out of car park and launched into air. Which again ignites the question here of, "How old is to old to drive?". Luckily no one else was injured or killed. Cheers. |

The moment a 96-year-old driver flew out of car park and launched into air. The problem isn't age itself, but competency. Such as the accident Sirius B linked to- the problem wasn't one of eye sight, but just not looking. And what about the 52 year old that killed & injured the students at the Banksia Rd school? Just WTF happened there??? And what was she doing in the staff carpark anyway??? Grant Darwin NT |

Tail end of Dr Who's link :-)Wouldn't want to own animals or property in Germany. "Germany has already decreed that robot vehicles must be programmed to kill animals and destroy property before thinking of harming humans" |

I didn't get that far as I didn't think that the link was very good at all on the subject to start with (a very poor source in fact, but you always get that with The Register) and there have been many better links around about that incident, like this 1 or this 1. Good sources will actually get people to read the lot, but poor 1's tend to put people off going too far (more so with the pic from the movie Speed). Cheers. |

He was a very determined teenager, did something wrong, got caught and the work very hard to better himself. eventually it paid off and he landed his dream job. Its a shame we don't hear more stories like this as he is a great role model for youngsters on the verge of a life of crime.
