General discussion / Plane Crash In New York State
February 13, 2009, 08:34:45 AM
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7887555.stm
Forty-nine people have died after a passenger plane crashed into a house in Buffalo, New York state.
The Continental Connection Flight 3407 was five minutes from Buffalo airport when it came down at 2210 (0310 GMT).
Officials said there were no survivors from the 44 passengers and four crew on board the flight from Newark. One person on the ground also died.
It is not clear what caused the crash. There was reported to be light snow and fog at the time.
TV footage showed the wreckage of the plane and a house engulfed in flames.
Twelve other homes were evacuated around the crash site in Clarence Center, a suburb of Buffalo.
State police spokeswoman Rebecca Gibbons said that of the 48 people on the plane, "there were no survivors."
Dave Bissonette, the emergency control director in Clarence, said one person on the ground had been killed.
'Dropped off radar'
The twin-prop Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft, operated by Colgan Air, was flying from Newark airport in New Jersey to Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
US media say a recording of Buffalo's air traffic control before the crash showed no concerns by either the controller or the pilot.
However, a minute later, the controller was unable to contact Flight 3407 and asks other planes in the area if they can spot it.
It sounded quite loud, and then the sound stopped. Then one or two seconds later, there was a thunderous explosion
Eyewitness David Luce
'The plane didn't sound normal'
"I was told by the tower the plane simply dropped off the radar screen," Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority spokesman C Douglas Hartmayer was quoted by the Buffalo News as saying.
Erie County Executive Chris Collins said there were three people in the house that was hit. One died and the other two managed to escape, with apparently minor injuries. Other reports say there was just one person in the house at the time.
"The tail of the plane is sticking out of the ground," he told CNN.
"Obviously, it exploded upon impact. So there was a lot of fire initially. It landed - or it came down right next to the fire hall. So there were firemen on this scene within literally seconds of it going down.
"I can't say enough about what the firefighters did, rushing right in as you might expect they would - a very heroic effort. But there were no survivors."
He said the fire was now under control and the site of the crash had been sealed off.
David Luce, who lives 150 yards from the crash site, said he heard the plane moments before the crash.
"It sounded quite loud, and then the sound stopped," he told the Buffalo newspaper.
"Then one or two seconds later, there was a thunderous explosion. I thought something hit our house. It shook our whole house."
He described going to the scene of the crash and seeing flames up to 50ft high.
"The house was already flattened. There was no house, just a pile of rubbish and still burning".
Chris Kausner said his sister Elise, a law student, was on the flight.
"I'm thinking about the fact that my mother has to fly home from Florida and what I'm going to tell my two sons."
Continental Airlines expressed profound sadness over the crash and said it was working closely with Colgan Air to "provide as much support as possible for all concerned".
The Federal Aviation Administration is sending a team of investigators to the scene.

GAA Discussion / Cork Footballers to Follow Cork Hurlers
February 06, 2009, 08:08:10 AM
http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/championship/2009/0206/cork.html
The GAA crisis in Cork has deepened with the news that the county's footballers are ready to join the hurlers in strike action.
Last year's senior hurling panel are refusing to play under manager Gerald McCarthy in what they claim is a protest at the way he was appointed.
Despite months of talks, no solution has been found to the impasse in the county, which is now set to deteriorate further with the news that the football panel are willing to join their protest.
The footballers will complete the current league campaign, but are ready to join the hurlers in strike action once the league finishes, therefore missing the Championship.
The Cork hurlers play host to Dublin in Division One of the NHL on Sunday and McCarthy has named an inexperienced team of 15 debutants.
The footballers started their league campaign last Sunday with a victory against Meath.

General discussion / No Grounds Safe In The North
December 11, 2008, 10:36:07 PM
Dozens of major sports grounds in Northern Ireland fall below current safety standards.
The details are in a letter written by Sports Minister Gregory Campbell, which has been released to the BBC.
In the letter Mr Campbell lists venues which he has been told do not meet safety criteria by varying degrees.
He said it was every soccer venue in the top two tiers of the Irish League, all six county GAA grounds and also rugby's Ravenhill.
Mr Campbell wrote his letter last month to Stormont's Culture, Arts and Leisure committee which discussed stadium safety on Thursday.
Assembly members of the committee spent about two hours hearing from government sports officials, asking them why legislation on ground safety introduced here in 2006 still has not been implemented fully.
Committee chairman Barry McElduff claimed the government had lacked urgency in dealing with the issue.
How the fcuk is this possible?
Sure the Athletic Grounds is just finished
I would say cnutface was listening to Dildo on his I-Pod while he was inspecting them

DUP suspension over Adams claims
Nelson McCausland was ordered to leave the Assembly for the day
DUP assembly member Nelson McCausland has been suspended from Stormont for a day over allegations about Gerry Adams.
He claimed the Sinn Féin president had been the IRA leader who set up secret units to murder suspected informers and dispose of their bodies.
Mr Adams denied the claims made during a debate on the Disappeared at the Assembly on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mr McCausland refused to withdraw his words and speaker Willie Hay ordered him to leave the chamber.
"These allegations were very clearly denied and refuted by the member concerned in the house here yesterday, Mr Adams," the Speaker said.
Speaker William Hay asks DUP party colleague Nelson McCausland to leave
"I regard the remarks as being unparliamentary and I would call on Mr McCausland to withdraw the remarks."
Mr McCausland said: "The statements were based on extracts from Ed Moloney's book, A Secret History of the IRA, which is available in book shops and in the library of this assembly.
"I will not therefore be withdrawing the statement. Since Mr Adams keeps calling for truth recovery I think it is important that we get to the truth on this matter."
Mr Hay ordered the North Belfast assembly member to leave the chamber. As he walked out Mr McCausland was applauded by his DUP colleagues.
Just like the big man from the 'Pass, Mc Causland has been suspended
Seriously, is this all our elected members have to do?
Its a f**king joke IMHO
Especially the last line

General discussion / Parcel Delivery Scam - Beware
October 14, 2008, 09:07:00 AM
Heard of this scam a year or two ago, but heard it again on the news yesterday
How can the b4stards get £15 for a f**king phone call
Police are urging members of the public to be on the alert about a new parcel delivery scam, which tricks people into making a premium rate phonecall - to arrange delivery of a parcel they never even ordered.
The scam operates by sending the unsuspecting householder a card from a company called PDS (ParcelDelivery Service) suggesting that they were unable to deliver a parcel and to call a specific phone number. When the householder rings the number they start to hear a recorded message and are thought to be automatically billed £15 for the phone call.
The fraudulent scam is currently under investigation by premium rate phone service regulator ICSTIS and the Trading Standards Office. The PSNI fears the scam will take in thousands of victims and are advising the public to be extremely vigilant

Lion 'on the loose in Belfast'
© ITN 2008
A hunt has been launched after police received reports of a lion on the loose in a Belfast park.
The animal was said to have been seen in Cavehill Park - only a short distance from the city's zoo.
But police said later that keepers had checked all cages in the zoo and all the animals were accounted for.
A police helicopter is scouring the area from the air and officers were deployed on the ground.
A spokesman said: "We are taking this seriously, there have been a string of calls about sightings."
A statement from police headquarters said: "Police in North Belfast are warning the public to be aware of sightings of what appears to be a lion in the Upper Hightown end of Cavehill Park.
"Police are currently responding to the incident and would urge the public to avoid the area.
"Anyone who thinks they may have seen the animal should not attempt to approach it."

General discussion / Calling All Ugly Tyrone Women.....
August 18, 2008, 12:36:46 PM
An Australian mayor has landed himself in hot water after making an ill-advised plea for ugly women, subtly illustrated here by a bearded lady, to move to a remote mining town where men outnumber women by a ratio of five to one.
John Molony, the mayor of Mount Isa, found himself under attack after the suggestion that telling a local newspaper "with five blokes to every girl, may I suggest that beauty-disadvantaged women should proceed to Mount Isa" reports Reuters.
According to the Associated Press, Molony's comments, published in the Townsville Bulletin, sparked outrage among the town's female population, led to furious online debates and drew criticism from the local chamber of commerce.
Mayor Molony has refused to apologise for his comments and added that, in a testosterone-laden town famous for cowboys and mining, he was simply "telling it like it is".
Think it was an excellent idea myself.
At the end of the day, everyone is a winner - ugly women get a man & hard-up men get a woman of sorts

At the end of the day, everyone is a winner - ugly women get a man & hard-up men get a woman of sorts

General discussion / Is Lucas a 'Bigot' ?
August 12, 2008, 10:13:51 AM
Was listening to the radio on the way to work (think it was U105) & some boy, who I can only describe as a complete cnut, called Lucas was on.
He was yapping about Ariel washing powder having some connection to the GAA & calling for them to end their association immediately, because of links the GAA have with terrorism (Kevin Lynch club & the rally in Casement)
The radio presenter went on to mention all the local & national companies that were affiliated to the GAA & Lucas didnt have a f**king clue. When pressed he then said all these companies should sever their links to the GAA (Vodafone, BOI etc)
When told that one of the biggest trophies in the GAA was named after a Protesteant/Presbyterian he obviously didnt know this & said 'Oh, is it?'
How the fcuk are we ever going to move on from the dark ages if pr1cks like this are allowed air time?
A bigot of the highest f**king order
Rant over
