Good. No god damn airplanes and helicopters flying around tomorrow.

How are we doomed? If they have a military grounding, they'll shoot anything that's flying with SAMs, won't they?

Also, I see nothing officially announced at all. It looks more like an over-blown rumor.

This official enough for you?

MAN they fucked up.

And ya... "Deeply disturbing" is a good way to put it :P

Yes, that's official enough. But everything I saw on the previous link was overblown bullshit about how we're all gonna die... Did they just read that there's gonna be a grounding and not look at the reasoning? Way to emphasize the wrong point.

If they do shoot anything thats flying, then we really are doomed.

Isn't that what a military grounding is? No flights allowed, using force if necessary?

I thought that military grounding was just for military aircraft? Because I can't imagine them not allowing civilian airliners and private jets.

Perhaps, but I haven't seen any planes, and I live right under a VERY used airway path.

That reminds me, I live next to SeaTac (Seattle-Tacoma) International Airport, and I don't think I've heard a plane fly all day.  Or maybe I should listen more, eh...

Well...we are all still alive ;)


Carry on children ;D


Maybe now after going over protocols, dumb fuckers wont load 6 nuclear warheads onto a plane "without even knowing what they are carrying"

No airplanes or helicopters over the house all day. Told you it was a total flight lockdown :P


Edit: And today, I was woken up by a helicopter doing U-Turns and angled turns half a mile over my house -.-

I flew from O'Hare to Providence on the 14th... >.>

Wtf you're still alive? Military lied -_-

The only reason the transport of the nukes was a problem is it went against the U.N. and i assume they did know but they couldn't cover up the fact so came up with some bullshit excuse. I really doubt anyone in charge of guarding nukes would send them about with out knowing it.

That was the reason why they grounded everything (or were supposed to). Cause it was a big fuck-up.
