It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Amazing that only... I hesitate so say "only"... but in context of how bad it could have been...  only 2 lives lost.

If that plane indeed hit tail first like they are saying its a testament to how well built that 777 is.  Sad event, my thoughts to everyone.

Sounds like there is only 1 unaccounted for now.

Thoughts and prayers to the families of the 2.

But 123 out of 307 uninjured. Amazing!

From the debris field it had to have hit tail first. Bad ass airplane. I can't wait to here the 'crews' stories.

Pretty amazing, thoughts and prayers for those who were lost. I hope for speedy recovery for the injured.

It was hard for me to look at the pictures.  That so many people survived that hit is simply astounding and a testament to the quality of the airframe.  Sadly lives were lost in a most horrific manner :-[

Hopefully the investigation will lead to a smoke, fire or equipment malfunction.  The pilots will be crucified otherwise......

Hopefully the investigation will reveal the cause of the crash.

With no prior notification to the tower or passengers, it's likely not an equipment failure.

Two dead and now they have updated to say that at least two survivors are paralyzed. But hey, at least that stupid chick from Facebook is OK.

so far it seems the plane was just about to stall and traveling below the 137 knots of "target" speed for the landing.   :-[
