A Midwest Airlines MD-81 carrying Senator and Presidential hopeful Barack Obama made an emergency landing at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport this morning after a reported "flight control anomaly". The aircraft, N804ME, diverted to St. Louis during its flight from Chicago to Charlotte. After departing Chicago and vectoring around some thunderstorms, the flight crew said they started to experience "elevator control forces that were heavier than normal." A post landing investigation revealed an in-flight deployment of the aft emergency exit slide within the tail cone. Sounds like the airplane pooped its pants, along with all 48 passengers on board. Fortunately, the nose cone never separated from the aircraft. The NTSB is investigating. Hopefully it wasn't this guy.

Date: September 11, 2001. Make no mistake, during her "suspended" campaign; Hillary Clinton is redoubling her efforts, removing obstacles, paving the way for her comeback. “I’ll be back.” From Nov. 1995 to Jan. 2006, James Carville appeared 41 times on Meet the Press. To borrow a phrase from Bill Clinton, “It ought to make the bells go off in your head:” http://theseedsof9-11.com
