it said the car it landed on was unoccupied but 1 of the other cars had people in it. but it also said 1 car at first then said 4 cars total 1 of which was occupied. i think cnn needs to learn how to get a story straight before they report on it.

Actually, this is an Associated Press article that is shared among the world of news.

Quote:
A small plane crashed onto an unoccupied car in a shopping center parking lot Wednesday night after skipping across other vehicles and clipping a pole, witnesses and authorities said.
Quote:
crashed onto an unoccupied car
meaning it hit one car.

Quote:
after skipping across other vehicles and clipping a pole"
Was this not part of the crash?

Quote:
The plane careened off at least three cars before hitting a telephone pole
Wait...I'm wrong. It hadn't crashed at that point, it careened.

Quote:
At least one of the cars the plane hit before clipping the pole had people in it
Ask those folks if they were involved in a careen or a crash.


The way I see it, this plane crashed into several vehicles and a light pole before coming to rest on top of an unoccupied vehicle.

Holy crap. WHO wrote this story.

On opproach to land a plane crashed into 3 cars clipped a pole and came to rest on top of an unoccupied vehicle. At least 1 of the first 3 cars hit had people in it but the occupants were unharmed.

Took me about 30 sec to write. And it makes more sence.

Oh and I know I can't spell.

Seems to be an instance where they wanted to make the story more elaborate than needed.

The dust and debris from the crash has dramatically increased the effects of global warming, officials say!

to take it further with the hype we're constantly being fed..

...the White House has confirmed that the crash caused mass destruction in the parking lot and that the attack was masterminded by Osama Bin Laden, who is suspected to be hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan. As a result, the White House is said to be considering an invasion of Canada.

It is not clear whether or not the passengers in the car were associated with the attack, but as a precautionary measure the DOT is mandating that all automobile drivers go through a screening process before travelling.


The Reverend Al Sharpton will be visiting the site of the attack to show support for any African-Americans that may have been involved with the planning and execution of the attack.

The Reverend Horton Heat declined to comment. (see who catches that)


Yeah, that's basically what we've been fed the past few years.

In other news, a small explosion in my pants was determined to be the result of Alli, not a terrorist attack, authorities said. Hazmat crews were called out to contain the spill, which is now being classified as a "treatment effect." Our medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, was too grossed out to comment.

Yes, let's annex Canada! Please! I'm sick of shipping product there. We make 5% of our money in Canada, yet Canada causes 95% of our problems. Let's make it part of the U.S. so UPS can just take stuff up there w/o all the frickin hassles.

Yet you'll still be able to just stroll across our borders with impunity. (WTF???)

That's too bad, cause I'd value his opinion a lot more than Al Sharpton's. The Reverend ROCKS!!!

CNN has learned that the chemical Alli did, indeed, cause the explosion in microgoat's pants. Although sources close to the explosion have declined to publicly comment, CNN had been told through the condition anonymity that the chemical Alli attacks are targeted toward overweight, middle-aged Americans.

CNN made multiple attempts to contact microgoat about the situation surrounding the Alli attacks but his secretary would only say that "He's indisposed right now."

It is unclear at this time if microgoat and the chemical Alli have an affiliation to 'Chemical Ali' Hassan al-Majid who gassed Iraqi Kurds with chemical weapons. It is also unclear if microgoat will face similar charges with the the resulting explosion and gassing of innocent bystanders due to his affiliation and use of the chemical Alli.

CNN will have more as the story unfolds.

See our related article here.

Further, we demand the return of the alleged evidence provided by the housekeeping staff at the Super8 in Augusta, Georgia, consisting of one pair of "striped" boxer shorts, which Microgoat may or may not have left in the sink at said motel. Microgoat expects a full apology from all parties involved, and states for the record that it was not he who farted just now.
