Plane crash into IRS Building : Othor Games

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:19 am

I fail to see how you can slam your plane into a building, and live thru it..........

Some journalists, as a matter of style, omit hedging clauses of the "other than..." sort when the omitted material is clear in context.

Parachute out!

A 7-story parachute jump is unlikely to succeed in any useful way...

Bahahaha, well, I think the driver himself died but, no one else. And apparently his aim was to cause damage. I mean, Jesus.
You have to be a noob to fail that hard.

"The pilot evidently did not file a flight plan, the FAA said. No flight plan was required because flights Thursday morning were under visual flight rules, or VFR, because of clear weather."

I wonder how quickly they're going to change that rule...

I saw the title and all I could think of was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enSYlCEz5VI

Too bad it was a suicide attempt. -_-

At least no one in the building was hurt majorly, right?
I hope they pull through with no major injuries.

I wish people could get along. Why must people hurt each other?

People are idiots.

People are crazy.

People are VERY angry/frustrated these days.

Not an excuse per se, but a volatile combination nonetheless.

Well at least nobody was killed. Apart from the guy in the plane, obviously.

A 7-story parachute jump is unlikely to succeed in any useful way...

Tell that to all the office workers that bought them post 9/11.

so, is this considered a fail?

yes

No one was killed..while it is a serious thing,you can't help but chuckle that out of all places he picked the tax building.

Oh... nobody was killed?

Hold on, guys. I'm gonna organize a party over the wreckage of the tax building.

I'll sign back in when I'm in Texas.

Oh, wait, the guy himself died. I'll be here, then.

The crash, which apparently killed the pilot......

Eh, I would think people would have the ability to refrain from going to dismal to suicidal in such a manner, especially when you are targeting individual people from a company that is doing their job.

Problem with a parachute is, it needs time to open. Even fast-deploying "BASE jumping" chutes need a starting altitude of 250 ft. or so bare minimum, practical minimum more like 500 ft., and then only if you're experienced. That's much higher than a 7-story building.

Conspiracy! Thermite was obviously used! /sarcastic

I was attempting to read the entire suicide note but it was six pages. I've got to go to Psychology in 20 minutes. The guy obviously was a hokerr.

At least this guy could have taken out the IRS.

Not the people that work there, just the Bureaucracy.

The Bean Counters that work there could have found jobs more useful to society. Like being a Grass Blade Polisher or a Beautician for Fish or something.

You sound bitter? :lol:

Beautician for Fish

I refuse to stand by and have my career mocked!

Audits will do that to you.

I won all of them by the way.

If only I didn't already have a quote in my sig.

I would say that this is a "win" on the pilot's part, he took out the building didn't he? I guess the IRS just pushed him a little too far...

Presuming what I found was his suicide note, he was basically a guy who had life jerk him around one time too many. The IRS was a target because of policies they enacted that basically ruined his career (well, him and others in the same line of work). There was also a matter of an incompetent accountant getting him audited (which is it's own version of hell from what I hear).

I sympathize with his pain, but this wasn't the way to deal with it.

The contents of his suicide note actually make it plain that he was a longtime tax protester who subscribed to a well-known bogus interpretation of the tax laws that he claimed made it unnecessary for him to pay taxes. For those who are knowledgeable in US tax protest arguments, it is called the "Section 1706" argument. It does not deserve a hearing on these forums.

His situation was entirely of his own making, and he deserves no platform for any claim that his distress was caused by an oppressive government or an incompetent accountant.

What a jerk, not content to simply end his own misery, he has to spread it round.

It never fails to amaze how many men still try to kill their 'property' at times like this.
