hmmm... this is taking a turn in the wrong direction since some peoples reading comprehension skills have taken a nose dive. my post was sarcastic and was pointing out what the reporter was thinking, hence the reason i said that the title of the story is dumb.

the author wrote they landed despite failed landing gear. so in my post i was making fun of the author, not the pilots.

so in conclusion since i have to spell everything out for you guys, i will repost what i said with clarifications.

me: that is THE dumbest story title i have ever seen. DESPITE the failed landing gear?

what reporter was thinking when he wrote story: [sarcasm]those pilots are bad, they should have never landed the plane if the landing gear wasn't working! dont they know that is dangerous![/sarcasm]
