US Airways flight sinks into concrete while crew talks about Corvette

[Mini 9]

If you're an internet know-it-all, I don't have to tell YOU about plane-stopping concrete.

If you're like many of us, WHAT??? Sinkable/crushable concrete?

What? They can't just write their names in it, like the rest of us?

Here is info on the CLIFF they would have fallen off of had they not been stopped by the concrete. (Or if they just did their f'n jobs!)

VERY INTERESTING.

I've never heard of this before, but it makes sense.

It's just like those crushable barriers you see on highways.

It's all about impulse.

Those are called pedestrians.

Interesting runway. I'll probably be flying there in the future - unless I just always decide to fly to Pittsburgh & drive.

So the important thing is...was this Corvette cool enough to warrant destroying a jetliner and endangering the lives of many people. We haven't gotten the final answer on that yet.
