Space Debris Narrowly Misses Airliner
An anonymous reader writes "An airliner jet traveling from Chile to New Zealand early today was in for an interesting ride. Flaming space debris — the remains of a Russian satellite — came hurtling back to Earth not far from a commercial jet on its way to Auckland, New Zealand. Here's further justification for the growing concern of the increasing amounts of space garbage orbiting our planet. From the article: 'The pilot of a Lan Chile Airbus A340 ... notified air traffic controllers at Auckland Oceanic Centre after seeing flaming space junk hurtling across the sky just five nautical miles in front of and behind his plane...'"
Sounds like the country of "What" as described by S. Jackson in Pulp Fiction.
Russion ain't no country I ever heard of - THEY speak ENGLISH in Russion?

It's sad that our journalism sucks so much.
Yeah but at least you probably have something resembling news. Here in the states news actually died a long time ago. Now it's more of finding an outlet that validates one's belief system.
Edward R Murrow is NOT rolling in his grave.
He was cremated.
Yeah, someone's got to select the articles to maximise bad spelling and grammar. It won't happen by itself you know!
At least they didn't hit Kenny this time.

Corrects the spelling of Chile and Russian, but gets "our" wrong. Tragic.
Although I'm a fan of anybody who can completely offend 160 million people in a single paragraph by misspelling the name of their nations. - pffft. 160 million people. (Russia alone is 170 million.)
How about Cshaina, EEndeea, Gapania, Jermania and Greit Britonia?
Even better, how about planet Erslinia?
You can't handle the truth.
Well, if by "real" he intends to point out just how horribly uneducated the average person is (himself included), then he's got a point...
This guy's the limit!
What's hilarious is that "Russian" has been corrected while "Chili" remains.
Hey guys... just cut back on the beans next time, all right? The smell's making me queasy.

At least it wasn't in l33t speak.

Chili? The small town outside of Rochester, New York? I didn't even know they had a airport. Things have changed since I left.
Just a dude. Stuck in IT.
An airliner jet [...] were in for an interesting ride?
This are bad grammars.
How about Cshaina, EEndeea, Gapania, Jermania and Greit Britonia?
For Brits you might try "Great Britian": this has successfully annoyed British friends of mine in the past.
Ah yes, the slashdot knee-jerk reaction. I was commenting on the flight from CHILE, but written CHILI and made a joke. Thank you for the lesson that there is a big world out there.
The joys of posting!

Planes do not jettison their toilet waste in flight except in life endangering situations.
Chili? The small town outside of Rochester, New York? I didn't even know they had a airport. Things have changed since I left.
Well...Chili is right next to the airport.
I believe you got hit with sarcasm.
But anyways, Chili near Rochester is not pronounced like the bean kind, but more like Chi-Lie, it's weird.
Should read Russia and Chile, but slashdot editors add mistakes, instead of correcting them.

So you see what had happened was....
...what happened to all those free AOL CDs that I launched into space.
Have gnu, will travel.
How about
