oldgrognard Hotshot Registered: 11/15/01 Posts: 8384 Loc: USA	I never trust early information; but they are saying 30 spectators were killed and 70 injured. If true, the drums will start beating about airshows being unsafe, yadda, yadda, yadda. _________________________ Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
