Flight attendant accused of setting fire on plane
Source: MSNBC/AP

FARGO, N.D. - A 19-year-old flight attendant has been accused of setting a fire aboard a commercial airplane that was forced to make an emergency landing in Fargo, N.D.

Eder Rojas was charged Thursday in federal court in Minneapolis. The case will be prosecuted in Fargo.

Officials say the Compass Airlines flight from Minneapolis to Saskatchewan landed safely in Fargo on May 7, after smoke begin to fill the back of the plane.

Court documents say Rojas, of Woodbury, Minn., told authorities he was upset at the airline for making him work that route.

Idiot! He's lucky he and all on that plane didn't die. Not the way to show you're pissed to your employer!

5. "Ganger", a word with a meaning
I'm not criticizing your spelling. I'm sure you can spell danger, and I understand how it is when typing responses in forums. I was just struck by the word, "ganger". It's a combination of sounds that ought to be a word, I thought. I looked it up, and sure enough, it's an actual word. And it had actual connection, (in the sense that the topic is labor related).

ganger, n. 1. One who oversees a gang of workmen.

Two weeks in Saskatoon, nothing fucking like it, except perhaps solitary confinement.

9. Wow!
Our way of life in this country is just starting to fall apart and already people are losing it! It seems like the behavioral brakes that used to keep people from thinking this kind of thing was unthinkable, are going away.

The mom who used MySpace to bully the teenager who subsequently committed suicide. Who would even CONSIDER doing something like that?

I'm starting to become very afraid of my fellow Amurikans . . .
