Plane Crash in river, all passengers survive. Who is at fault, what do you think happened?

[JWAN]

Why would Canada declare war. They have like one tank. I love you Canada

The pilot was an absolute pro, he knew the fuel in the wings was lighter than the water so they would float for a decent amount of time and it only took over 2 minutes to get hundreds of people off the plane, that's proficiency, he also walked the length of the plane twice checking for any passengers who may not have been able to make it off by themselves.

Canadian tanks, 6 gears in reverse and one in forward (in case they are snuck up on from behind)

Epic Canada LOLZ111!1!!. Canadians have rearview mirrors on their tanks, to watch the battle.

Every bit of evidence points to the pilot doing a bang-up job in a sticky situation. A twin bird ingestion is more bad luck than anything else, and it was skill that eventually saved the day.
Yes, it's been obvious (to me at least) that those frostbacks have been spoiling for a rumble for almost 200 years, ever since the Battle of the Thames [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Thames]. *JOKE*

The pilot wanted to show off his super amazing water landing he'd been practicing.

I kid, he actually spotted the goose that killed his mother in a flock, so he flew towards them swearing revenge.

That's probably it. I bet he wishes this had happened in the summer though, when the water wouldn't be freezing balls.

What about their maple syrup? Imagine how sticky they could make everything with a few million maple syrup bombs?

It would be the end of days!

I'm glad I checked out this thread. My knowledge of Canada has now been enriched. I now know they have armies of beavers riding moose who will throw maple syrup bombs at us and use flocks of geese to bring down jets if we keep making fun of their universal health care and accents.

I know all this, and fear it. Thank you, Escapist. Because my life wasn't complicated enough.

Poor birds, but thank God the people didn't have to die, too.

Go look up the movie The Birds. Those f*ckers planned it.

Indeed, fuckin' birds! We need to kill them before they kill us! We got the Dodo time to get ourselves the Canadian Geese this is for Humanity and Survival. Want to know more?

I think the pilot did a good job. Saved a lot of people and stopped the invasion of the Canadian Royal Geese. What more could you want?

Do I detect a Starship Troopers reference?

Exactly, the mans a hero. He single-handedly saved Canada. I had a friend who had a pet duck, the crappy version of a goose and it's bite was excruciating. Who knows what the winged horde could have done to Canada, maybe...THE WORLD! But in all seriousness that guy deserves an award or at the least a little badge that says hero.

The phrase 1 gear forward and 6 in reverse was applied to the Italians in both the World Wars. While they were in an alliance with Germany and Austria-Hungary (The Triple Alliance) they pulled out of the agreement and in 1915 attacked Austria-Hungary after a secret meeting with the British. Italy did not think that Autria-Hungary would not grant to Italy the lands it desired for it's territorial expansion, as those lands were under the control of Austria, which they did not trust to give up in exchange for an alliance. They determined that the best way to get thsoe territories was to side with the Triple Entente. Their war with Austira-Hungary resulted in a stalemate of trench warfare and thousands of casualties, for the most part. In World War II Italy remained neutral for 10 months even though it was one of the Axis powers (With Germany again, now the second side switch, plus dilly dallying) once it looked like the war was nearly over. Mussolini said "I only need a few thousand dead so that I can sit at the peace conference as a man who has fought." In 1943 Mussolini was forced out of government, and Italy surrendered to the Allies and semi-helped them. This is my quick summary on where the phrase "Italian tanks have 1 gear going forward, and 6 going backward" came from.
