Hooray for Internet

June 21, 2007 on 7:32 pm | In Insider View, Musings by Josh Jones |

Hopefully not me in 30 minutes to an hour.

Here I am, after 3 hours on the runway of Air France flight #011, and I’m the only passenger on the plane that know that we’ll still be here another 30 minutes to an hour.

Not to mention, only I know that firstborns have higher IQs.

And that the ability to create new email addresses in our web panel was broken but then fixed.

So, thanks to EVDO, we are SAVED from a full week a full week and two hours without even a really short and crappy DreamHost blog post!

    What he says is that he’s traveling AF011 which is

    Scheduled departure from New York (JFK) at 8:45 PM, Fri, Jun 22, 07

    Scheduled arrival in Paris (CDG) at 9:50 AM, Sat, Jun 23, 07

    AND THAT HE’S NOW ON JFK AND ACCORDING TO FAA

    General Departure Delays: Due to WX:ZNY SWAP, traffic is experiencing Gate Hold and Taxi delays between 3 hours and 1 minute and 3 hours and 15 minutes in length and increasing.

    Your “we’ll still be here another 30 minutes to an hour” link appears to depend on POST data and therefore won’t work for us mortals who only have the URL.

    That photo is tacky; it’s likely that people died in that crash.

    That photo is a test crash with nobody on board.

    This is probably the link he started from:

    I think this is the test-crash that photo comes from:

    Of course it’s a test crash, there’s no windows! I’d be pissed if I couldn’t see!

    “That photo is tacky; it’s likely that people died in that crash.”

    That comment is awesome. Especially the use of the word ‘likely’ given the size of that fireball.

    @Joe Grossberg: Test crash. Nobody died.

    @why: Look closely, there actually ARE windows.
