Photo of the Day - A First Class Miracle on the Hudson

"Has anyone noticed the ugly reality captured in the so-called “Miracle on the Hudson”? One of the first photos shows that first class passengers were offered first-class rafts to ensure that they’d survive in comfort, while the economy class passengers were forced out onto the metal wings to fend for themselves..."




The sad thing that I noticed was that none of the peons herded onto the wings had clambered over to the c*nts on the raft and started beating the shit out of them

Maybe that's why they don't let you take nail scissors on flights any more

The comments appear to explain it.

Good image though!

There's been very little coverage of this news in the UK press...

Baltic Riots Spread to Lithuania in the Face of Deteriorating Economic Conditions

presumably because the people in charge here don't want to be giving their servants any ideas

what I find interesting about this article and the articles I read about the Greek riots was how the desire to riot and protest was described as if it were a contagion or virus
