“I don't like swearing on the air. As a matter of fact, I'm not a prude, but I go to the movies and then wonder - I asked myself the same question, and I watch HBO and some of the comedy stuff, and I'm constantly asking myself, why have we gone there? It seems like it's unfortunate. It's so cheap.” MatterFactsSeemsEasyStuffWatchesGoneComedyAirAskingUnfortunateMatter Of FactSwearingHboPrudes Author:Brian Lamb

“I have left the obvious, essential fact to this point, namely, that it is the Russian Armies who have done the main work in tearing the guts out of the German army. In the air and on the oceans we could maintain our place, but there was no force in the world which could have been called into being, except after several more years, that would have been able to maul and break the German army unless it had been subjected to the terrible slaughter and manhandling that has fallen to it through the strength of the Russian Soviet Armies.” WorldYearsHas BeensDoneFactsAbleLeftForceBreakAirTerribleEssentialsOceanArmyObviousFallenGutsSovietCould Have BeenSlaughter Author:Winston Churchill

“There is also the fact that NORAD-Northeast was conducting war game exercises that morning, a fact that has been very little talked about and certainly not reported to the general public. What's also not been reported, according to the information that I have, at least one of the scenarios they were considering in their war game exercises concerned hijacked aircraft being crashed into buildings. Now, this could explain the lack of response when the air traffic controllers began to report that four planes were off course.” LittlesHas BeensWarFactsCoursesGamesMorningFourAirInformationBuildingExerciseConcernedResponsePlanesReportsConsideringTrafficScenariosAircraftConductingGeneral PublicControllersWar GamesAir Traffic Controller Author:Jim Marrs
“I suppose I could think of a lot of things to say about the fact that I still play. But I don't really need to. I can tell you this, that I enjoy it. I still enjoy it.

“He's a tremendous breath of fresh air. The things he [Pope Francis] has done in a short period of time: the fact that he does not live in a huge papal mansion and just dropped by in the dining room where ordinary people have meals. You think of his background, where he didn't use limousines in South America, that he used public transport. I'm so, so thrilled that he is there at this crucial moment in the history of our world.” PeopleThinkingWorldDoeDoneMomentsFactsUseAmericaUsedRoomsAirHugePeriodsOrdinaryBreathsSouthBackgroundsMealsOur WorldCrucialPopeOrdinary PeopleTransportMansionsDiningFresh AirSouth AmericaDining RoomsLimousinesCrucial Moments Author:Desmond Tutu
“The essence of air transport is speed, and speed is unfortunately one of the most expensive commodities in the world, principally because of the disproportionate amount of the power required to achieve high speed and to lift loads thousands of feet into the air. This is strikingly illustrated by the fact that while an average cargo ship, freight train and transport aeroplane are each equipped with engines totalling about 2,500 H.P., the ship can carry a load of about 7,000 tons, the train 800 tons and the plane only two and a half tons.” WorldTwoFactsHalfAirFeetAchieveAmountEssenceTrainAverageSpeedShipsLiftsPlanesExpensiveEnginesLoadCommodityTransportAeroplanesHigh SpeedCargo Author:J.
