Mind you, these are people that have to have all their kosher food delivered from who-knows-where.

I dropped by them during my Yellowstone trip, they are truly special people...

WOW

I'm wondering how Chabad in Montana has so much kosher food available on the fly like this
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Probably because shipping it in is a significant operation

What kind of engine failures is this?

 If this would happen somewhere in middle of the Atlantic would the plane be in danger of crashing? Or is it a tiny minor problem which 99.99% poses no threat but just to be on the safe side made an emergency landing?
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

from what I saw there was no real trouble just that a light came on that there was a fire in an engine but when they landed nothing was found.

Did you know that, on average, planes make emergency landings every day?

Are you going to create a new thread on every occasion a flight has an emergency landing?
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
