Thank God Queen Ann is safe and sound

[jsr]

Just don't let her rule over us.

That is all.

3. That isn't funny.

And it is not the kind of sentiment you'll find coming from DUers.

5. I agree

I've no love for Romney or anyone in his family or campaign, but I don't wish any of them ill, either.

13. I thought it was

Had queen Ann actually been in any real sort of danger I might think otherwise.

8. How to win friends and influence people...

This is NOT an example.

What's "too bad" is I bet lots of people would have loved to have your screen name, and after you're gone, it's gone with you.

10. What happened? I can't find anything

Specific about it on du. I guess I'll see if AP is covering it.

12. Her plane declared an emergency due to smoke in the cockpit

It's actually a very common occurrence. Usually what happens is some piece of avionics gear burns up and makes a little puff of smoke. The potential is that it could keep burning, fill the cockpit up with smoke, and ultimately bring down the plane as a result. In practice this almost never happens. These incidents happen about once per day (or more) in the US and almost never result in tragedy. Pilots err on the side of caution, declare an emergency, and put the aircraft on the ground so it can be checked out (as they should). Were it not queen Ann's plane, this wouldn't even be newsworthy.

15. I think it's over in LBN

Cabin filled with smoke. Pilot had to make an emergency landing. All aboard were safe.

7. Thank God she is safe, but

I smell something else at play here.

[Ilsa]

9. There was airplane trouble?

I missed the story.

I wondered the other day if the GOP would try to Wellstone Mitt. Maybe they went after Annie for the sympathy vote.

11. Are you talking about . . .
