Not sure if CNN can keep up with handling more than one story at a time -- or at least "branding" each one! No need for fiction, that's for sure. As a long time Nortel investor (long-time 'cause I couldn't risk selling off the shares at a loss), I am saddened bu resigned to the inevitable. I learned long ago that there is no such thing as blue stock - or a sure thing (I was also invested in Royal TrustCo in the late eighties).<BR/><BR/>But yesterday's miracle landing of the American Air plane, we can be certain of one thing -- life will continue to dish out heroic, spectacular, unbelievable, gut wrenching drama.

I've been on that very same flight many times. I was on it only last month. You are so very right to say PAY ATTENTION before you head on up. It's amazing how it all turned out. (sigh)<BR/><BR/>But AFTER you are in-flight mag. Especially if you are on American Airlines for the rest of the month!
