John Travolta makes emergency landing

John Travolta made an emergency landing in his private Boeing 707 after it experienced engine problems. He was flying by himself from Germany to New York after a TV appearance when he had to make an emergecny landing at Shannon Airport in Ireland. A source says:

“If he hadn’t made it to Shannon, it could have been the end of him. You could tell that he was very relieved.”

In case you’re curious, his Boeing 707 has three dining rooms and seats 179 people. So, yeah, it’s a good thing he took it out to fly all by himself. Can you imagine if he was seen flying a reasonably sized personal jet? Man, that would’ve been so embarrassing.

    Too bad he isn’t actually on a boat like Mr. Howell instead of just dressed like him.

    Too bad he didn’t land in the looney bin! Someone needs to unwarp his mind from the Scientology crap.

    and LRHLTC!

    I’m glad to see celebrities doing their part to cut back on CO2 output. Boeing 707 is definitely the way to go.

    Where did the man make all his money to be able to afford that plane??? Was it his “Kotter” money that made him rich?

    He actually stopped to sneak in another makeout session on the runway stairs from his closet assclown again. Plans were foiled by airport security who ran the man over with a golf cart while lighting a joint.

    just googled it, his solution to global pollution is moving to other planets

    isn’t that the same selfish logic that got the world in this fucking shitty situation to begin with?

    way to suggest making humankind a bunch of 6-foot tall interplanetary AIDS viruses, you know-nothing untalented fuck

    Speaking of global pollution, how long do you think we have on this planet before things start to take a turn for the worse.

    I haven’t exactly watched An Inconvient Truth.

    What’s really scary is that his co-pilot is actually a congealed mass of his expelled Thetans shaped into a rough humanoid form.

    just reread my comment, what i mean is what is so inconvenient about it? needless to say haven’t watched it, never will, it’s in the Mikey Moore pile of pop-meaningless-bullshit

    Al Gore is a corporate tool, always has been always will be

    him making a movie about science is like Dr. Phil telling people how to look good

    I dunno.

    judging from your name, you would actually like al gore’s movie. judging from your comment, though, you’re probably too stubborn to even try it. like 4 years ago, cock-in-hand was cool, but now it’s just getting old, in my HUMBLE opinion, sir.

    You know, one of the sad things is that… he bought himself that uniform, didn’t he?

    I mean, real pilots are either issued them or simply required to wear them. He, on the other hand, bought his so he could pretend to be a pilot.

    That’s sorta like buying a firefighter’s outfit and wear it around because I like to fancy myself being a firefighter…

    For shityear

    If you havent seen An Inconvenient Truth, how do you know it is “pop-meaningless-bullshit”? Give it 5 minutes, see if you don’t watch the rest.

    Or shut the fuck up, either way…the planet wins.

    “Al Gore is a corporate tool”

    Completely true. All the greenies are on the payrolls of the oil companies, just look it up. Anyway, Gore’s movie was totally trashed when those 2500 international scientists reported that global warming is probably a hoax and if it isn’t, humans aren’t responsible for it.

    #30 appreciate the opinion, haven’t been knighted yet so mr. another will do just fine for now

    so, we are not all in agreement that global-warming is a cyclic naturally-occurring phenomenon being used presently to make the populace feel guilt and shame for just being alive and breathing, resulting in further restrictive laws generating money funneled directly upward towards the few and the elite with an ultimate intent toward justifying wholesale elimination of the downtrodden masses?

    maybe i do need Gorey-boy to show me The Way, how much is his shitty movie?

    btw Al, way to flip-flop on Tobacco campaign-contributions as soon as it became politically incorrect, how much money did your daddy’s farms make off of other people’s lung cancer again?

    the beauty of scientific inquiry is that it is tentative by definition, which means that the potential for denial is infinite. any claim can be doubted. the question is whether you use that feature to see the world with your eyes crossed or not.
