[quote author=baby-boy] No it doesn't, they just need to locate the black box

What a black box is for

A black box preserves the records of what happened in the event of a disaster. The box is made of a nearly indestructible material so that even if the plane is destroyed, the box can be found and retrieved. The box contains recordings of the status of the plane, including measurements of altitude, air pressure, as well as mechanical status. They don't just make the plane out of the stuff because it would be too heavy to fly.[/quote]Not necessarily, it may take up to one extra year from the time of black box recovery to conclusion and release of final report - (eg AF447)

"close look-alike" in the ninja outfit, How ? ?

Marouane Chamakh joins West Ham on loan. Who's heading out next ?

Yomieluv: It depends the circumstance on what happen,but no matter how bad the situation,there are other ways to address the situation,rather than actually behaving like a babarians.

Something similar happened to my fiancee,whereby someone slapped her,I had to hear the slapper's version of the story,before reacting. Infact,the slapper never knew her to be my woman,and apologised seriously. Today,the slapper,and I are friends,and I just calmed down,and my woman was expecting me to loose Hell. I told her that violence cannot solve the situation,and my fighting back won't erased the fact that you have been slapped,and my not fighting back doesn't mean I don't love you.
At times,Brain is better than Brawl.
Two wrongs can never make a right.

listen to slapper's version first ke ? I'll probably deck him first by reflex action before listening to stories but I totally understand your point about trying to deal with it in a civil manner. Fighting and violence is never the best solution.

Some girls sef go around looking for trouble and dragging you into it believing you will fight for them when shyite hits the fan. I once went out with a female friend and we ran into trouble with some policemen, I was trying to talk our way out of the situation and she kept yakkety yakking @ them to the point that I even got pissed off and had to lock her in the car to shut her up.

Never a dull moment with Balo.

Bye Bye back to Serie A.

Lol . My boy Em' doing a Mason Betha.
Interesting !!!
Looking forward to your next album.

What's a pool party with no skinny dipping ?

What kind of mother she has been, transcends everything else. Whether or not she has a tatoo or piercings in her **** would count for nothing if she's been a perfect mum or close.

The season for resting players and Wenger plays exactly the same squad from 3 days ago.

Some looked like they were tired fom the kick-off - Poldi.

I wonder Why Jenks didn't start after Sagna's poor outing last weekend, he had a poor game again today.

...............and why is Arshavin fading out of Wenger's plans while pple like Gervinho are still very much in it? Gervinho came on 'fresh' and looked like he had played on boxing day and last weekend.

Poor performance overall.

Rain Rain go away; its raining cats and dogs here on New Year's eve. We'll have to dance and grill barbecue in the rain tonight.

Still grooving 2012.

Good News: We won't be tumbling down the cliff afterall, the numbskulls finally reached an agreement.

fur.king al qaeda roaches, the more you kill them, the more they multiply. They have totally taken over N. Mali and built their own mini country (al-qaeda republic) up there, with tunnels, trenches and caves large enough to accommodate trucks and enough ammo, gasoline and supplies to see them through a potential military intervention .

sethvins: Arsenal table a €12.5m offer 4 adrian lopez

Rumor mill spinning already.

Happy New Year gunners !!!!

Happy New Year 2013 !!

mukina2: na wa o match nefa play. thread don turn 'sontin' else

Mehn !! this your/our thread go catch fire on that day (nothing kukuma dey happen for the defunct Bayern thread) with one side crying and the other group bragging hard. I have a dream, in line with Debo's prediction; Arsenal will humiliate the local German champions - Bayern . The tie will be over even before the 2nd leg is played. Gunners !!!!

claremont: It is a perfectly sound and logical theory. A part of the solution to curb misuse of guns by crazed people is for more law abiding people to have guns. If the teachers and/or principal at the Connecticut school had access to a gun on-site, they would have prevented or greatly minimized the murders. The overall holistic solution though is a value reorientation of the American society and a greater focus on those with mental health issues.

That theory is bizarre and ludicrous, makes no sense at all to me.

If i was sitting in that dark Aurora theater and a bunch of us all had guns, suddenly a shot goes off, no one knows what's going on. I pull out my gun, the guy behind me sees me, pulls out his gun and takes my head off. The guy beside him takes him out and the chain continues. The original killer is in front of the theater having a good time, shooting rounds and rounds; that scenario and the end result makes a lot of sense to you right?.

But if a shot rings out and a cop rushes in, no normal person will shoot at him even if he draws and points his gun at someone.

What would you rather have ?, multiple random shots by amateurs or controlled house-keeping by a professional cop ?.

I go out to the mall and people have guns on them, people at the bar all have 'legal' guns in their cars, I don't know who is who and I don't feel comfortable or safe but I see a strapped cop and I feel a lot more relaxed.

They don't need to act James Bond on the streets, the policemen are effective at crime fighting.

claremont: Guy, let us examine the evidence from a scientific point of view. A simple research using Google reveals that the worst mass murders in America's history did not involve the use of firearms. The only weapon a psycho needs is the will to kill as many people as possible, the means to achieve this aim can easily be set up. The September 11 terrorists did not use guns, the Oklahoma city bomber did not use guns.

I think you've gone too far off-topic; comparing terrorists to law-abiding mental patients.

Do you know how many terror attacks are prevented because intelligence reports have led to raids on their hideouts ?

You cannot raid the house of a law-abiding citizen and even if you find a gun in his possession, there is little or nothing law enforcement can do about it; the same cannot be said of a bomb wielding terrorist.

claremont: The guy involved in the Connecticut murders used a gun because a gun was available, in the absence of a gun, he would have simply used another murder weapon. So what if he used a knife and only killed 5 people?! It is still a mass murder. It is wrong to focus on gun control in a society that glorifies violence and doesn't pay enough attention to those with mental health. The difference between Japan, the UK as compared to the US is not the presence of effective gun control laws, but it is purely cultural. The US has a culture that promotes and glorifies violence.

5 compared to 27 means a lot and how do you compare a knife to an automatic gun ? With a knife, he may have succeeded in wounding just 1 person before he is taken down but with a gun that shoots 6 bullets per second, . . . . . .

So you agree that the environment is a violent one and you also said we do not need gun control.
So the US culture glorifies violence and for that reason people should be allowed easy access to guns; that's like pouring gasoline on fire.

Not paying attention to mental patients, good point. That's one part of gun control that is lacking in some cases because of the people (the NRA and some republicans) that want no form of control on gun ownership. Last year the Florida governor banned doctors from asking mental patients if thy have guns in their houses. How do you explain that ? That is what I mean when I say we need more control.

claremont: A suicidal psycho can still commit a mass murder even in the absence of a gun. There have been cases of people who used toxic gases to commit mass murder. The fact of the matter is that someone who is bent on killing people will do so regardless of the presence or absence of a gun. A gun cannot kill by itself.

There are crazy people everywhere who may snap at anytime and commit mass murders but it's been guns guns guns and I havent heard a lot about individuals (who are not terrorists or war criminals) using toxic gases to commit mass murders in crowded public places .
What makes it even more different from gun violence is that the murder weapon (assault rifles) are bestowed upon the perpetrators by the law with very loose restrictions. I dont think there's any law that gives you the right to build chemical weapons in your backyard or carry toxic gases around in the name of self-protection.

All these mass shootings going on happened because of inadequate restrictions and to an extent would have been avoided if the law didn't give them the right to posses such deadly weapons or have easy access to them.

Are you saying the 'presence' of those guns had no bearing on what happened ?

In summary, you cannot teach a suicidal psycho the value of life (or goodluck trying to); they kill regardless of what means; putting guns in their hands and defending their right to have these guns makes it easier for them to kill.

Women in power, I fear them; when they explode, they become unnecessarily mean and hyper-aggressive.

My worst encounter with a police officer was with a female cop. Cute and 'fine' like a ticket on the dash but as mean as a wolf.

claremont: Mexico has one of the toughest gun control laws in the world, how has that helped them?!

Mexico has a lot of security problems; the shootings are mostly drug-war related and the possession of those killer weapons is illegal. You cannot compare that to the US where it is legal to carry assault rifles with loose restrictions and psychos who now believe that the law gives them a license to kill. Security in the US is good enough for people not to have to pack heat.

claremont: What we do NOT need is gun control, what we do need is for people to be taught the value of human life.

How do you teach a suicidal psycho the value of human life.

FANTABULOUS

Roland17: The Future looks bright... They all signed.

Where the fu.rk is Walcott ?

Nigerians sometimes take it too far to blame their own carelessness and misfortunes on the devil, witches, juju, people in the village, etc, but superstitious beliefs do not always mean witchcraft or juju and it is not just a Nigerian thing, different countries have their own versions of such beliefs like someone wishing on a shooting star when they see one and believing that wish must come true.
Some of them are fun to listen to though; the ones I remember:
- If you have hiccups it means that someone somewhere is thinking or talking about you (not necessarily in a sinister way). Then you have to put a thread on your head to stop it.

- When your hands start itching for no reason, it means you're about to strike some big pay.

- When you hear an owl hooting at night, its a sign of bad omen.

- Eating in the dark is an invitation to ghosts to come eat with you.

- Whistling at night is an invitation to snakes and witches.

9icetoo: there are commercial helicopters as well> several companies in nigeria have helicopters for commercial purposes. U think shell, chevron, agip and co all use navy helicopters? We waste state resources in nigeria for personal needs and wants. Jonathan really messed up by assigning a public asset like that to his cronies for their personal needs. May their souls rest in peace. Yuck, naija can be disgusting. the money for that helicopter would have fixed the roads leading to that community where this burial was held. Mstchew.

My bad !!! I totally missed out the awoof part of his post. I thought the crashed Navy chopper was being put to commercial use and I was wondering what other kind of 'chartered commercial flight' he was talking about.

TRUTHTELA: It's all BS, the Northern muslim elites branch of boko haram, took care of Azazi & Yakowa, and the incumbent NSA, Dasuki knows & executed the assassination on their behalf. It has more to do with 2015 PDP presidential election primaries & the plot to return power to the North. Dasuki ( Fulani moslem), can't be the NSA & do Jonathan's bid.

In hindsight, Azazi was still influential in Jonathan's security setting. A million things ( Timed bomb &co) can cause engine failure. Engine failure doesn't mean that the POVERTY STRICKEN Northern elites didn't aid (bomb or whatever) the crash. They were all born in PENURY & how will they survive? ONLY BY LOOTING GOVT FUNDS.

Too early for conspiracy theories.

slap1: Rich people still like awoof! So they can't charter or board a commercial flight? What is engine failure? Has the fault been reported before? I believe that engine failure is a result of poor servicing, and someone has been pocketing the money meant for servicing that chopper.

By 'commercial flight', I assume you mean airplane. That cannot land on a soccer field like choppers do.

gboss4sure: Nonsense, all this things are just ways to cover up the truth on what happened on that 11 sept. Petraues was to testify and he resigned before that day now hillaru clinton was to tesitfy and now she is sick and have a virus in her stomach. This clearly shows that the US Government was aware of what happened in libya and they willingly sacrificed their own men for their selfish desires. This is high level corruption.

Did Patraeus' resignation stop him from testifying ? NO !!!

pro01: Nah, I don't think gun control would necessarily reduce these incessant mass shootings in the US (and in Europe to a lesser degree). The sort of people that do these things would get guns through back-door channels to do what they want to do. Several countries (including Nigeria) prohibit or tightly control gun ownership but it hasn't stopped widespread murders/robberies/terrorism perpetrated with guns acquired one way or the other.

Smooth278: Hmmm, y don't u bring ur statistics closer home!!! Its also against the law for citizens to carry guns in Nigeria u know!!! Do u wanna compare hw many ppl died in shootings in naija and in d US Wit all d boko boys and Kidnappers and ritualists.... Also when giving statistics the use of absolute numbers is wrong!!! Percentages, Rates and Proportions r better!!! Like what's d pop of japan compared to that of us Also what is d death rate in japan compared to us Jst ma 2cents aii!!!

Total elimination will be impossible as it is a constitutional right but control has been really loose. The NRA and repubs are slowly chipping away at restrictions and controls on gun ownership.
Gun control will reduce mass shootings or @ least reduce the level of casualty when they occur. For example, the Aurora shooting where the guy used an assault rifle would have had less casualty numbers if assault rifles had remained banned and the psycho guy didn't have legal access to it. I don't feel safe when the guy shopping next to me at the mall has a gun on his waist or people at the bar have guns in their cars parked outside. I'm more comfortable seeing just armed policemen around.

For the Nigeria comparison, death by the shooting in Nigeria is mainly perpetrated by boko, armed robbers(who have no business owning those guns) and by police, not by psycho individuals. This is mainly due to ineffective security, if we had a police force half as effective as the cops here, coupled with the tight- to no-guns status, Nigeria will be as peaceful as Iceland..

'Free' is good. That's the only good thing I like about MMIA. . You have to pay for it in the few airports I've been through in the US and CDG only gives you 15 minutes free then they yank you off and ask for money.

gboss4sure: Americans been armed is what is protecting them, even in Nigeria where there is no arm yourself law people still die from bullets. An armed society is a secured society and don't think without the right to be armed law that these things won't haPpen.

The people who are so desiring to see guns out of america are serioulsy behind this shooting just to have more reasons to support themselves.

Not true. That is what the NRA will want to have you believe, but there is no proof of that.

They have an effective police force, people with just 'shooting range' and video game experience don't need to walk around with guns policing themselves.

"stand your ground" is the most senseless law on planet earth.

claremont: Guns don't kill people, it's people that kill people. In the absence of people, a gun is an inanimate object that cannot shoot itself. I'm totally in support of America's policy on the private ownership of guns, and I would argue that this policy should be adopted by countries such as Nigeria as a part of a holistic strategy to address crime.
R.I.P to the dead.

Those policies have done more harm than good.

abes: A Christian? call him 'a gunman'
A Muslim? call him 'a terrorist'

If a muslim kills in the name of religion, then he's an Islamic extremist, a terrorist; but if a Christian kills because he lost his f**king mind then he's just a plain psycho, nothing to do with religion.
