Damnable Weather
A jetliner trying to land in heavy snow slid off a runway, crashed through a fence and slid into a busy street, hitting one vehicle and pinning another beneath it. A 6-year-old boy in one of the vehicles was killed, authorities said. He was among eight people hurt on the ground. Two passengers on the plane suffered minor injuries, Aviation Department spokeswoman Wendy Abrams said
And DAMN!
The accident occurred 33 years to the day after a crash at Midway that killed 45 people, two of them on the ground.
Big red 'X' through 12/08 in my travel itinerary from now on. Not that I have one.
But if I did...

Not just the dear little puddin', but his poor, poor parents and family. What a terrible tragedy.
