Skydiving without a parachute

10:56 am on Friday, May 9, 2003

An Associated Press story from this morning says that129 people were sucked out of an airplane when the rear door of the cargo plane they were flying in came off. Hard to believe, but okay. The thing that I wonder about is the statement from the Congo Defense Minister saying he was unaware of any deaths among the 200 people aboard.

I think you can safely assume that at least a couple of those 129 people didn’t magically sprout wings and fly safely to the ground there, bud.
