Hope it landed ok.

This is a China airlines jet.

There were 0 fatalities on American carriers in 2002

you know, I used to have an office that looked straight onto the St Louis Arch. A direct view--(great office)--less than a block away. The route to the airport in STL takes you past the arch, to the right of it as you pass. That way is away from my office. One day, I was working and looked up, and there was a plane banking and heading straight for the arch and, ergo, my office. It was enough to make me pay attention and sit up a little---it ended up pulling a hard left and going down the river--it didn't come too close to the arch or to my office, but to see an airliner coming directly your way as you sit in an office building is something to think about. It scared me a little bit. Any plane going into STL could veer off course and have been into my building in about 15 seconds. After that experience, I cannot imagine how these people must've felt. I'd have been scared to death.
