If only they would take the real elections half as seriously, maybe then we'd regain a (small) measure of confidence in the election process.

Actually, they are ALSO in the tail.

Emergency services refute the claim of casualties.

The reports are conflicting. According to the link I gave, Emergency services refute the claim of casualties. Confusion is only natural in these cases.

Samsung VP David Eun was on that plane, that makes it our business.

The aircraft burst into flames and burned out, all occupants were able to evacuate the aircraft in time and are alive. There are reports of a number of injuries, mainly burns, the majority of occupants escaped without injuries.

Emergency services reported all occupants have been accounted for and are alive.

Here's to hoping they picked a slightly less volatile set of batteries.

4. He threatened with violence, which is actually illegal, and he didn't use an Anonymous account either.
5. Nothing secret about the camera.

I was about to say something like that. Only less diplomatic.

People are remembering how previous, highly publicised breakouts turned out to be minor. At least globally.
They forget the immense effort by WHO and similar to prevent the outbreaks from becoming pandemics. SARS and N1H1 both were contained. Partially because they weren't as deadly as first thought, but definitely also due to enforced measures.

This new one, by all indications is no spring flu. This one kills, and if it does start spreading between humans directly, we are in trouble.

At least it'll probably help solve the global overpopulation problem rather efficiently.

a less than 2 hour flight, on a plane scheduled for 12+ hours, and where most battery incidents happened at the end of the flights?

No. I'm not reassured at all, either.

There are, but there is no way we can produce enough electricity to replace Nuclear and coal.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see that increase in demand still outstrip added renewable sources.

Then there is the electric cars everyone is touting. They need power, and they need a LOT of it.

The long term waste is a known quantity, and needs to be addressed. But it is nowhere nearly as pressing a concern as the global CO2 levels are.

We have to bring down the CO2 emissions dramatically, and fast. Doing this through renewable energies would be nice, but it is a pipe dream at best. At least for now. We have to go nuclear, and do so on an far more aggressive scale than we are using it now, if we are to survive long enough, to be able to harness the still elusive fusion and renewable energy bonanza, the greens and the lawmakers are still clinging to.

Isn't a fake impersonator, really the person being impersonated?

I agree, Parent definitely need the 5 score.

The EU are in the same boat, and right now they are fighting about allowing Greenland to mine their deposits. IIRC some idiot even suggested that since the Chinese are so good at mining the stuff, they should sell the mining rights to them...
