IT's unfeasible that nobody died.

Close call. Glad you're OK.Originally Posted by VBRonPaulFan
I used to live near BocaChica NAS.. And used to dive up lobster from the remains of a jet crash.
It's always good to be aware of the realities around you.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

I figured that when you mentioned it.
How come the jet didn't disappear like at the Pentagon? I can still see it in the photo. I was under the impression that a jet vanishes completely when it crashes.

yeah, this is mostly all on the city of VB for being retarded and lacking the foresight to predict stuff like this. when oceana was first built, it was basically in the boonies. nothing but farmland all around. (the oceanfront was only a couple of miles away, but it was still relatively rural at that time)
so what does the city of VB do? they kept constantly re-zoning the farmland around oceana to residential closer and closer to oceana, even though the navy kept bitching not to, because if a plane malfunctions during takeoff, there isn't a significant buffer for them to crash land safely. so now it's to the point where residential homes are built up literally to across the street from where the naval land is fenced off, and if a plane ever goes down, it's going down directly into homes/apartments like this. if you google earth the area around oceana, you'll see it. it's retarded.
i have a hard time understanding why someone would want to live around there mind you. before my wife and i bought the house we live in now, a realtor showed us a home pretty much a block from where this happened. we asked the realtor if the jet noise was bad, and he of course says 'no, it's not really that bad at all - you get used to it'. a minute later, a jet took off and shook the damn house so bad a picture fell off the wall. the houses are literally that freakin' close to the airstrips.
oh that's simple, obviously because this is a military jet as opposed to a commercial aircraft. military aircraft are built in 'merica and made to last, hoorah! /sarcasm
