Plane crash in NY state kills 49

"Forty-nine people have died after a passenger plane crashed into a house in Buffalo, New York state." BBC News 13/02/09

The plane dropped off the radar screen? Snow, fog? Why did it happen?

Heartfelt prayers to the families of the passengers.

Should Beckham really be on the front page of the Times 12th February 2009?

Yes it's a new sporting history moment and Beckham has received 108 caps for England, but surely that could be resigned to the back page...
Are there not more pressing world issues that could be placed on the front?

Is it possible to earn money whilst sitting at your desk?

Apparently it is and I'm going to give it my best shot over the next year

Maybe writing is the way forward?

In a seminar, one was asked to construct a imaginative story in 5 mins on the following picture. Here is one's estranged mind:

"As the business meeting begins, the ape-like figure on the left notices the two Mexican spies (otherwise known as the 118 guys) with their dodgy moustaches and cover-up 80’s shades. Meanwhile, the two women attentively serve with drinks and massages, whilst the men get down the real discussing: “I think we should put £10 billion into the oil industry and keep Blair and Bush happy” says the Honcho in the middle. Suddenly the two Mexican compadres break out their machine guns and open fire on quiet, unassuming guy at the back (apparently claiming he started the new world war 3 between Britain and Mexico). The women jump in with acrobatic skills likened to that of ninjas and take down the 118 spies, handcuffing them, telling them to walk towards the wall, with their backs turned. As they walk into the distance the two women pull out a bow-and-arrow, like that of Robin Hood’s and draw an arrow to fire into their heads. All ends happily."
