For many years, the spokesman for Dig Safe was Roger Cook, who became well-known as the landscaping expert on This Old House. Here's one of his commercials. I always found them iconic, because he's got such a classic Boston accent.

 
That's exactly the look of a dude I want to help me if I need to start digging around on om property.

If Bob Vila is sidelined, he looks and sounds like a solid second stringer.
 
Look at this motherfucker. He comes in from the right at like 1,200 feet, and goes just north of my house. Then - like a bulls-eye - he makes 2 tight circles directly over my house, with that loud, shitty, gurgling old engine. It sounds like it's going to conk out right over my roof. Then he comes out of the loop, starts moving south-west, and I think he's gone. But no! He turns north and goes right over my house again. What an asshole!

Of course all pilots know exactly where scotch's house is.

You can file a complaint with the FAA if you got his call letters.

My wife did that with a black helicopter that 2-3 times a month would fly right past here window. He was following the railroad track. He was flying pretty low. He would also almost stop outside her office window and then change direction. No idea why. She got the call letters and reported him to Transport Canada. They asked the pilot to choose a different route. They did.

You think all those people on the plane were dead before the explosion?

You can read wildly different reports about how fast it was going when it hit the ground but the slowest I've read is still around 250/mph. I was talking with Pam about this and I was saying that I assume they all died in the split second between when the plane hit the ground and when the explosion occurred. That seems logical to me but I have no facts to back my thought.

This is the air version of that submarine that imploded a couple years ago. I'm sure the minute or so it took from when they knew shit was going south until impact was horrifying but I also think the actual death of all those people happened so quick they couldn't have possibly felt anything. Right?

IDK, just something I was thinking about this evening.

The sub was under a second. Note enough time for them to process their stupidity and their doom.

In the plane, the impact would have killed them. The explosion was just for show. It is lucky their was nobody on the ground. Imagine putting your groceries in the trunk then whomp a plane slams down on you from above.
