I'm actually surpised that the guy they interviewed that came close to running off of it didn't have the "It was scary, we could have been killed or worse" comment that most in this area would have used in that situation. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it."

SteveGee Member Registered: 07/27/10 Posts: 1054 Loc: Planet Earth	The local paper here is reporting that the ship was possibly carrying Saturn rocket parts...no idea where it was going with them, though. Didn't know we had a Saturn rocket facility anywhere nearby. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it."

That has got to be a misquote since the Saturn rocket was used for the Apollo and Skylab programs and not much else to my knowledge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_(rocket_family)#Launch_history Wheels _________________________ Cheers Wheelsup_cavu Mission4Today \| Get RoF Templates @ Combat-Asylum Planes of Fame Air Museum \| March Field Air Museum \| Palm Springs Air Museum

SteveGee Member Registered: 07/27/10 Posts: 1054 Loc: Planet Earth	Well, we are behind the times a bit around here and my local paper's never been a strong source of accuracy. I think the Kentucky State Trooper actually reported it was "rocket parts", but my local paper can only remember the Saturn as our last rocket, I guess. Hell, they even reported on this in 1955..... Green Men of Kelly ...and if you ask any of the locals, it was more a "moonshine induced" event than anything. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it."

Also why the comma in "Ship carrying rocket parts, hits Kentucky bridge" is it just a random one, like when people randomly add them to pluralized word's? <- shudder Edited by tomcat (01/27/12 02:44 PM)

semmern Hotshot Registered: 03/19/01 Posts: 8808 Loc: Oslo, Norway	Police officer to captain in a sarcastic tone: Soo, stuck, are we? Captain to police officer in equally sarcastic tone: Nope, ran out of fuel while delivering this bridge. _________________________ In all my years I've never seen the like.
