A Little Perspective
You might remember when this accident happened...8 years ago this March.
This Southwest Airlines flight from Vegas overshot the runway at Burbank. The plane smashed past the airport fence, careened across the street and ended up with a collapsed landing gear, right next to a gas station. But that's not the amazing part...look at the picture below!!!

Re: A Little Perspective
I'm bumping this so we can all take a little trip down memory lane. Some of us may even remember when gas was .075/gallon. But not many.

Re: A Little Perspective
I remember, when I was younger, it was 40 cents a litre up here.. back in like, the '80's or something. Now it's exactly a dollar extra on top of that. D:
I don't even own a car or DRIVE and I think that's ridiculous!
