Creighton, Neb. – A recent calf sale fundraiser, hosted by Creighton Livestock Market, raised a generous amount of proceeds for R-CALF USA. Matt Paulsen, an R-CALF USA member from Niobrara, donated a steer calf that…
see if that plane met all of its air worthiness directives. everything is on the table but it s just a bit suspicious that that primary radar feed that the military put out is enough and rolls royce is denying the notion that the aircraft was pinging data on the performance of the engine. i think they re not commenting. i don t know if they re formally denying. you know, wolf, such a mess. not to beat up on the malaysians, they just got caught off guard over their head with a huge investigation. i think what you re starting to see is the faa, ntsb begin to put some quality control into this investigation. because the malaysians really don t have a whole lot of experience. they need help. the ntsb and the u.s. authorities and others who really have some experience. a lot of folks, peter, and you ve studied this, they re increasingly looking at the possibility this was not some mechanical failure but this was someone commandeering, if you will, that aircraft. there s a distin
how would the passenger if they were conscious not use cell phones to communicate. it has to be on the table. but the reason they re on the table is we don t have a clue. we don t have a clue yet six days into it. in fact, the investigation is really just starting last night. and that s why you re starting to see why it is just starting last night? it s been going on for seven days. for us it has, not for the authorities. they have people to turn to for experience in this. let s take a step back, take a breath and look at what we really have here and let s validate it. that s why the radar feed of the military if it was mechanical problem, they immediately ground the entire fleet for 24 hour just to make sure. as far as i know all those other 777s they re flying right now. here s the nightmare for boeing and the faa. we need probable cause. why? because people get on every day other 777s. usually accidents are a unique
