Wonder if they were drinking...STATESVILLE, N.C. -- Authorities say a man who was waiting with several friends for a "ghost train" from a North Carolina legend has been killed when a real train came down the tracks Daily Herald | N.C. man waits for 'ghost train,' killed by real one

My money is on He and Jackie to be the final two with him being the final winner. His "Salute to America" on Tuesday was over the top.

"Stand-up seats." George Carlin would have had a ball with that one.
In the 'typical' plane crash, it is probably a life-saver.But I dunno, Fuego, how much help do you really think the seat and seat belt is in a typical plane crash?
In the case of the other 20%, being strapped to your seat may aid in recovering and identifying your remains.The National Transportation and Safety Board reports more than 80 percent of all commercial airline accidents are survivable.
Lets see. 1 hour flight. Boarding delay. Tarmac back-up. Then it storms. Plane is stuck on runway. Finally takes off. Landing delay. Gate's not open. Stuck again on tarmac. How long can you stay standing up? 5 hours? Maybe 10? Not like it hasn't happened in the past few years.I have seen these proposed and I think I might prefer stand up seats to the saddle seats. Humans can spend an hour standing up on a bus or a train during rush hour, why not on a plane? Ignoring the potential for injury in the event of hard landings, turbulence, and crashes that is...
