    I hope the air sick bags arent sim. I would need one even in this. Hell, I need an air sick bag in elevators and on escalators. I am earth bound and ok with that. Some people dream of flight; I call that a nightmare.

    @darkstar: Seriously, I paid money for this! Wait, you say that Gizmodo is free? Then why did I give Frucci my credit card numbers? God damn it, this probably has something to do with the weird bills that I've been getting from "hotfurrybondage.com".

    Too bad companies haven't been making many flight/heli/mech sims for some time now.. sure, there's Falcon 4.0, X-Plane, and MS Flight Sim, but.. we need more. And updated.

    You mean running around the living room with my arms extended in front of "Project Natal" just won't cut it, huh? Microsoft moves toward no controllers, and Logitech moves toward an entire living room full of them: These boys need to duke it out and reach a conclusion because I am so confused.

    My only problem is it showed the Hudson as having whitecaps, and from what I have heard, the water was very smooth.

    @Philip Marquis: Yeah, I'm sure your really be able "experiance" the jarring impact of the "plain" hitting the Hudson, and standing/sitting in 40 degree water while boats come to rescue you w/your flight sim.


    The only thing that has a worse chance than a snowball in hell is you properly mastering the English Language.

    Double grammar nazi fail.


    "I'm sure your really be able "experiance""


    And all you think you are missing is a "to". If you are going to correct someone, at least glance at your post before you click submit.


    "I'm sure YOU'RE really GOING TO be able TO "experience""


    I have capitalized what is needed for your post to qualify for grade school english.

    @muyoso: I must disagree with you. It would work with just the addition of the "to" and the subtraction of "be", which in all reality means it needs no correction, as the subtraction cancels out the addition, i.e:

    Yeah, I'm sure you're really able to "experiance" the jarring impact of the "plain" hitting the Hudson, and standing/sitting in 40 degree water while boats come to rescue you w/your flight sim.


    I admit that the sentence I wrote was worded differently, but I went back and changed it, and forgot to change the "your" from the original sentences "your flight sim" amongst other things. I would have responded like Philip does when people call him on his god awful spelling and grammar, by saying "TS", but I decided to explain myself.

    A combination of skill and incredible luck. ^5s all around for what could have been a major tragedy and loss of life.

    @Curves: Agreed. When I first heard that a plane landed in the Hudson, my heart sort of sank that more airline accidents were occurring, but was immensely relieved to get the glorious details. It's comforting to now that, with all this miracle-driven jubilation, that the Airbus got a nice goose lunch before it died.
