You can bet your bottom dollar on it. I mean, come on, we have people suing because their coffee is hot.

The goose should have at least honked.

Wow. That was awesome to hear. He is certainly grateful! Blessings abound!

I've been thinking (cynically) today. Does anyone expect a lawsuit out of this? I will be so disappointed if there is.

He is an awesome person and sincerely grateful. I am grateful too for him, my sister and my niece and nephew. He landed safely today in Charlotte. I can't imagine getting on a plane so soon after that!

I wonder if that woman is even alive anymore?

Stella died a few years ago. She was 79 when McDonald's coffee jumped out of the cup and burned her legs, buttocks and genitals. RIP Stella.

Yeah, McDonald's was clearly in the wrong employing that high school student who didn't recognize a senior citizen in her grandson's brand new sports car. :roll:

thanks for the vid. I knew it was just a matter of time before one showed up considering how many surveillance cameras are in NYC...

I was just thinking it was probably stupid to post it when it's probably all over the news. But then I thought - I found out about the crash from you. If you hadn't posted, I would've been hours behind
on my news.

Wow--the survivors talked about the hard impact (and I'm sure that it was hard from the inside of the plane) but from the video it looks like the captain landed that plane as smoothly as anyone could have hoped.

Where can we sign up to be on his passenger list?

More video. Watch how fast everyone got out of the plane! This is just an amazing story.
