damn... so close

this disappoints me somewhat. does that make me evil?

A plane that had been scheduled to take former President George H.W. Bush to Ecuador crashed Monday morning in Houston, Texas, killing all three crew members.

The aircraft, a Gulfstream-II jet, departed from Love Field in Dallas and crashed on approach, one-and-a-half miles from the airport, shortly after 6 a.m. (7 a.m. ET).

It burst into flames when it hit the ground, and fire crews rushed to the scene.

Not really. A couple of years ago we took our three kids to Washington. We were driving beside the National Mall area when Marine One and Marine Two (the prez's chopper and the decoy) flew by. Our youngest kid, then about 6, I think, said it was too bad we didn't have a gun so we could have shot down the helicopter. Kids say the darndest things, don't they?
