May 19, 2008 - Maybe I'll find this out in parts 2-5 but why in the world when hail stones started cracking their windshield did they not immediately turn around and go back to the airport they came from?

Jul 2, 2008 - Terrible weather. Very scary flight. I cant believe that there were hailstorms that punched the DC-9 on April 4.

Jul 16, 2008 - I flew with the lead, Kathy to Osaka, Japan at NWA! She was really nice and we talked a little bit about the crash! I was a stew at Northwest!

Jul 23, 2008 - Whats up with planes and bad weather.They should have seen the weather on that day

yomamasabanana Says:

Jul 23, 2008 - They should go over the storm

Shardith Says:

Aug 8, 2008 - Oh Sadie, you must have been terrified.

Shardith Says:

Aug 8, 2008 - Sadie, you're a saint. No one should have to go through such a terrifying experience.

ustributefoundation Says:

Aug 9, 2008 - You are so right. Many lives were shattered beyond repair- the airline industry did change the way bad weather was handled after that--but some experienced miracles that day. All three of my young children and the firechiefs son were saved by seconds when I called them in. They were riding bikes up and down the diveway where the plane crashed. God was merciful to me and mine but I'll never understand why so many died and others lived.

Aug 22, 2008 - is this the same airline all that killed the football team?

doubleslottedflaps Says:

Sep 27, 2008 - yes

Oct 7, 2008 - impressive

testpress Says:

Oct 9, 2008 - "We were delighted not to be serving" I've always felt that flight attendants really resented their duties of being nothing more than waitresses in the sky @ times (key phrase: "at times")

testpress Says:

Oct 9, 2008 - The hail was like an "unholy tattoo that was buck-shotting the airplane" lol obviously scripted

venichen1 Says:

Oct 15, 2008 - if the thunderstorm is about 50k feet high, theres no way an aircraft is going to fly over it.

gbthecoach Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - That must have been so tramatic for Sadie and her family to see the carnage in her front yard. Those poor pilots were so professional, its sad that they were not informed of the other airport or how the engin really worked in that situation

Patrickisreallygreat Says:

Nov 9, 2008 - That's because he is a real-life writer, he also wrote a book about Delta 191.
