True, But how many stories have we heard that turned out to be fake? The marine in the trenches e-mail? People who tried to collect insurance money? Did anyone see the pic of the guy standing on the observation deck of WTC. In the background was an American Airlines 757 heading straight towards him? We live in a society where the $3000 desktop and a lot of time could make that video... I'm rambling...

Thios can not be serious, can it?

DUDE!!! I THOUGHT was him!!!!!! THe F'er tried to sell me some Enron stock!!!! That Sick Bastard :)

Lots of questions spring up Here Here.... Isn't it kinda strange that he'll be talking about one thing , and then just start talking about somethign completely different? There's no consistency in the conversation. One of things that I find hilarious is that people are claiming that no one would "FAKE" such a poor quality video. Uh HELLO!!! What better way to cover up any imperfections? Now, don't get me wrong, I don't truly beleive that this is a fake. I'm just not going to blindly follow the masses and swallow a pill before knowing what I'm shoving down my throat And Don't EVEN get me started on this "Evil " crap.

Just a side note about Malicious intent. There was a guy in Europe (NL, I beleive) that purposely cut his girlfriends cutaway cables, and he made sure she had a mal. I can't remember how they figured it out, but he was arrested. Just pointing out that even WE as skydivers are not immune from the sickos of this world

which roughly translated means: I beat

Dear Santa, I wud lika a kool toy spce ranjur for Xmas. Iv ben a gud boy all yeer. Yer Frend BiLLy Dear Billy, Nice spelling. You're on your way to a career in lawncare. How about I send you a fucking book so you can learn to read and write? I'm giving your older brother the space ranger. At least he can spell. Santa Dear Santa, I have been a good girl all year, and the only thing I ask for is peace and joy in the world for everybody! Dear Sarah, Your parents smoked pot when they had you, didn't they? Santa Dear Santa, I don't know if you can do this, but for Christmas, I'd like for my mommy and daddy to get back together. Please see what you can do. Love Teddy Dear Teddy, Look, your dad's banging the babysitter like a screen door in a hurricane. Do you think he's gonna give that up to come back to your frigid mom, who rides his ass constantly? It's time to give up that dream. Let me get you some nice Legos instead. Santa Dear Santa, I want a new bike, a Playstation, a train, some G.I. Joes, a dog, a drum kit, a pony and a tuba. Love, Francis Dear Francis, Who names their kid "Francis" nowadays? I bet you're gay . Santa Dear Santa, I left milk and cookies for you under the tree, and I left carrots for your reindeer outside the back do or. Love, Susan Dear Susan, Milk gives me the runs and carrots make the deer fart in my face when riding in the sleigh. Do me a favor . Leave me a bottle of scotch. Santa Dear Santa, What do you do the other 364 days of the year? Are you busy making toys? YOur friend Thomas Dear Thomas, All the toys are made in China. I have a condo in Vegas, where I spend most of my time making low-budget porno films. I unwind by drinking myself silly and squeezing the asses of cocktail waitresses while losing money at the crap table. Hey, you wanted to know Santa Dear Santa, Do you see us when we're sleeping, do you really know when we're awake, like the song? Love, Jessica. Dear Jessica Are you really that gullible? Good luck in whatever you do. I'm skipping your house. Santa Dear Santa, Can I please, please, please, please, please have a pupppy? Your friend Timmy.

Santa Dearest Santa, We don't have a chimney in our house, how do you get into our home? Love, Marky Dear Mark, First, stop calling yourself "Marky", that's why you're getting your ass whipped at school. Second, you don't live in a house, you live in a low-rent apartment complex. Third, I get inside your pad just like all the burglars do, through your bedroom window. Sweet Dreams, Santa

None of you really need to worry, because we are going in order by number of posts, from Clay down. (Chuck went out of order. Delinquent! ) There Ya GO! New ideas for Titles. Let's ask HH to make some new ones. WE can have "Juvenile Delinquent" for Clay, Lamb lover for Skreamer, etc... The possibilities are endless

Rob, I understand what you mean about delaying. I do have to say, that I seriously doubt that your friends translation will be very different from what the "official" translation is. The Administration looks as if they made sure thet crossed their T's and dotted their i's here. They are using the video as a means to show the world that this guy is "evil" and don't want ANY doubt unlike the TWA crash a few years ago when the Egyptian pilot was heard muttering prayers and everyone had their own opinion as to what it meant. Of course no one has even brought up the possibility that the video is a complete fabrication, why not, we have the technology. "Hey Guys, Look what I found here in this VCR, OH look, it says Osama's confession on it, Let's watch!!!"

Teri, Teri, Teri :)

http://www.martinnvandam.nl Has some really cool backgrounds as well

Thanks for the explanation. So were you up there too?

NOPE, Brian wins.... If you go under photos and click on Ponk Skyvan in Tunisia, you'll see them climbing from the hatch up by the pilot. I do think the negines are shut down tho, hell I wouldn't want to be crawling in between two turbines

yeah, I'm on yahoo too nick is g_lum

Yeah, I see that. And it DOES look like the props are feathered. IT's just a helluva long way back to the tail from the back of a Skyvan..... I don't remember seeing any bars inside besides the one right at the end (and there's supposedly one underneath... Maybe around the side?

Howe the heck did they get up there?

Did this constitute being a Post Ho?

for your viewing pleasure

I seem to remember everyone trying to figure out who it was and some chick for Fl taking the 5th.

Hmmmm Favorite discipline........ Well, I'm no where near in my skydiving career to wanna rule one or the other out, but when I was doing AFF, I was working on the 34th floor in downtown SF. I'd look out the window and think to myself, "YEAH!!!!I could pull this off, land in the Maritime Plaza, one flight of stairs to the street and I'm outta there" :) Ohhh.... And don't tell anyone, but I have access to the Kaiser bldg now ;)

I'll second that....

Rich, you are correct in the fact that it is two different mals. The point I'm trying to make is that a when the PC is cleared in a horseshoe, there is a a very storng possibility of the canopy not getting out of the bag because of the out of seqwuence deployment. Simpler terms, a cleared horsheshoe more than likely will lead to a bag lock. Procedure is still the same to get the PC clear

Oh he gave me a little speech then He tried to make me say when.... Lotsa Zappa fans here. Hard album to find

Rich, I have no experience at all with this type of mal, but I did talk to our S&TA about this very type during my AFF. His advice was that since it was an out of sequence deployment, chances are more often than not that it would turn into a bag lock. I guess the point I'm hoping to make is I wouldn't think I'm outta the woods just cause I got the PC out. That and also to realize that the PC will be somewhere in middle of your back(IF it's still in the pocket) since the bag is already out.
