    Normally I'd assume liberals would be calling for the ban of airplanes after an accident like this. But with the liberal mind set. I'm thinking they'll be calling for a ban on parachutes this time. :)

    (CNN) -- A weekend midair collision over northern Wisconsin sent one small plane careening into the ground while another limped safely back to the runway.

    Fortunately, both planes were carrying skydivers -- meaning that for the 11 people aboard the two aircraft, the collision resulted in nothing more than minor injuries to two of them, firefighters reported.

    "It's definitely a reminder of the danger of the sport that we all love," Skydive Superior instructor Mike Robinson told CNN affiliate KQDS.

    The crash happened Saturday evening over Superior, Wisconsin, near the Minnesota state line. It happened as the two planes were flying close by as the skydivers prepared to jump in formation, Superior Fire Department Battalion Chief Vern Johnson told CNN.

    Robinson said the lead plane, which crashed, had four skydivers aboard along with its pilot; the trailing plane had five parachutists.

    Johnson said the pilot of the lead plane told firefighters that before the jump, he heard a loud bang and his windshield shattered. The plane caught fire and broke up in midair, but the skydivers and the pilot all parachuted to safety....

    Yeah, why not ban everything? Lunatics (liberals), think that's the answer as my answer to them is they need to be tried, then hanged once found guilty of trying to destroy the last "free" country on Earth. I'm not kidding one ioda when I say that liberals are MUCH more dangerous to America than terrorists.:mad:
