Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Hello frens, so I had planned to go to Greenville NC today to shop & maybe eat. About thirty minutes ago hubby says a plane crashed & memorial drive (busy major street) is shut down. Not concerned about my plans changing! I just got on facebook to search for more info. I know most here don’t like fakebook, I don’t for many reasons, but at least you can find info with out msm propaganda.
So, I searched plane crash & couldn’t believe over the past week there’s been at least four planes crashed.
• 3/13, Mesquite Texas a small plane crashed killing one person.
• 3/12, MIRAMAR, Fla. (WFLA) — A small plane has made an emergency landing in a field near a Florida school, according to reports. NBC affiliate WTVJ reported that the crash happened in a field near Coconut Palm Elementary School Wednesday. No injuries have been reported.
• 3/10, Lancaster county PA, plane crashed into a retirement apartment community parking lot.
• 3/13, An American Airlines plane carrying 178 people caught fire on the tarmac after making an emergency landing at Denver International Airport Thursday evening, forcing many passengers to evacuate by climbing out onto a wing and with emergency slides. Airport officials said 12 passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The fire started just before 6 p.m. Mountain Time after the plane, a Boeing 737-800, diverted to the airport due to what appeared to be an engine issue.
That’s just what I found searching “plane crash” this morning on facebook. I don’t watch the news and haven’t had time to get on here daily over the past few weeks. I love to travel and fly, but will take my chances by car. I’ve always heard, flying is safer than driving. Well, that could be questionable at this point.
I found this post by a random person in the “plane crash” search. I know I won't die in an airplane crash! Unless an airplane crashes where I happen to be standing. I like those odds better. I’m 💯 in agreement. I’m not scared of dying and I’m certain where I’m going when I do. Just not trying to leave just yet.
Wow, what’s going on? Pilot era? Vax related? Air traffic controller era? Plane equipment issues? Sabotage?
This needs to be its own thread. Please repost and link.
I will later today, out running errands at the moment.
You post it? I don’t see one.
