DrJones's Comments

This story is actually a bit older than the article lets on. It is one of the many tried and failed shots during the filming of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The director, Speilberg, wanted a bigger plane for a bigger explosion, but the newer planes of the day were too "structurally sound" and therefore did not give the desired "boom." In frustration, Speilberg decided to go with the less structural and, obviously, period WWII plane. The use of seagulls in final production was due to the high cost of pelicans and no one cares for seagulls.

I agree, this is nothing to be worried or sick about. Seems to me similar to cutting your grass or harvesting crop. It is a resource that is needed and one that is very easily reproduced. If they were just leaving those patched bare, then there'd be a problem.

I've been watching the History Channel's "Ax Men" which follows a handful of logging companies up in WA. When they get a job, it is a specific, and relatively small, patch of land/mountain. They don't just cut randomly and then leave. Whether it be from a tree farm, which is what they cut from the most, or patches of "other" land, they are restricted by the area given. Once they're done, they replant, wait many years, decades even, then come back, etc.

I think it may be hard to see it as the same thing as a corn crop because of the slow regrowth rate, but it is no different. I live in Indiana, and no one sheds tears over cut wheat, soy, or corn.

Kinda makes me sad that he wasn't able to be all James Bondy and climb out the top of it. Any time I go into an elevator, I check to see which one of the overhead panels could be the hatch out!

Why can't the designers just put their clothes on manequins and roll them down the runway? Why put those girls through unnecessary danger? Get them into a Golden Corral and fix em up!

It is obvious that you will only hear what you want to hear, and you have such a bias against Christainity/Christians/God that there is no getting through to you. Here is where I bow out of the conversation, as I don't want this to escalate into something we both don't want it to. Thank you for your comments and thoughts. Good day.
