Discovery Channel Crashes a Boeing 727 For Science Documentary (latimes.com)
A Boeing 727 passenger jet has been deliberately crash-landed. The pilot ejected just minutes before the collision. The plane was packed with scientific experiments, including crash test dummies. Dozens of cameras recorded the crash from inside the aircraft, on the ground, in chase planes and even on the ejecting pilot's helmet. All of this was done for a feature length documentary to be shown on the Discovery Channel later this year."
No no, this was deliberate.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Discover could have gotten it's cost of the documentary down to the cost of the film crews.
If you're suggesting that the Discovery Channel exec used her Discover card to drive her costs down to the break-even point, I think you're overestimating the value of the rewards program. They only give you one percent back, and the purchase protection only covers domestic airline crashes (this one was in Mexico). When you factor in the annual fee, she probably lost money!
Or perhaps you just confused the financial company with the media company.
Yes. Remarkably, many of the surviving dummies have been elected to congress and others work for the TSA.

I'm not really sure.. THEREFORE ALIENS!!! Did you see the promo for next week with the UFOs shooting dinosaurs like Sarah Palin hunting moose from a copter?
I don't ever remember seeing the Nat Geo special when they found the dinosaur bones with phaser fire marks.
