Uma testemunha ocular de um crime que um mafioso quer ver morta, uma viagem de avião que vai apinhado de gente, um porradal de cobras e o Samuel L. Jackson. O que complica tudo é o bem que o pessoal que fez o filme pôs todas essas bases a interagir. Abordemos o filme a partir destas interacções.Mafioso vs Avião apinhado de gente - De tiros na nuca execution style a verterem cimento nos pés dum gajo para ele se afogar no Hudson, já tinha visto mafiosos a matar gente de várias formas. O mafioso deste filme é especial.

Not a Bird, Not a Plane: Flying Mouse Clothing
2009-01-26 04:18:00 If you follow the t-shirt design circuit even casually, you probably recognize the name Flying Mouse. He's a multiply-printed Threadless juggernaut who was named 2007's Most Printed Designer and Newcomer of the Year on their site.And of course, like all flying creatures, this mouse is spreading his wings and traveling through some new territory, in the form of his own line, Flying Mouse Clothing. In it, you'll see some of the same sorts of mind-bending concepts that impressed the Threadless masses- like the gold foil print of a lone archer facing off against a massive, fire-y bird in Phoenix Fighter. Another stand-out is We Love Bow, which uses two penguins to form the titular bow (the penguins are printed in flock ink, which is a great touch).Something I really appreciate is the collaboration tee being organized at the site. Not only is it a great way to make this shop stand out in the crowd, it's a cool way to get people interested and invested in the site. Plus, who wouldn't...

US airways plane crashed into Hudson River
2009-01-15 16:28:00 What can birds do to a biggg flight?? They can do anything and bring the whole aircraft down and that is what happened to the U.S. Airways Flight out of LaGuardia, NY that crashed into the Hudson River after it was struck by birds. Some are calling it the "Miracle On The Hudson." Bird strikes happen at low altitudes, during takeoff or landing. The plane is still in the water, but all passengers are reported to have escaped into rescue craft.

He said only 30 seconds after takeoff at 3:26 p.m. ET, there was bird strikes.The pilot, Chesley Burnett "Sully" Sullenberger III, was praised for his efforts at landing the plane softly on the river...

Eight U.S. Citizens and One Foreign National Kicked off Plane. Their Crime?
2009-01-02 14:00:00 Update: AirTran apologized, 01/03. Just when things look litigious, they belatedly cough up an "I'm sorry."Three kids, ages seven, four, and two. An anesthesiologist. A lawyer. Mothers. Nine people total were forcibly removed from an AirTran flight from Washington, D.C. to Orlando, Florida yesterday. What did they do to deserve such treatment? Talk about bombs? That's one taboo subject that will get anyone the boot from an airplane. Threaten the pilot or flight crew? Heck, no. This family did the same thing you and I have done over the course of our many hours of flight time on airplanes. They discussed which seats were safer. And they appeared to be Muslim.I can tell you honestly, my husband and I have had the same kind of conversation numerous times. Well, if you sit in the rear, you are more likely to survive a catastrophe. No, if you sit close to the jets, you'll do better. And on, and on. Who hasn't speculated about these things? Normal conversation and part of the patter o...
