Usa/ Piccolo aereo si schianta su casa a Las

Posted at 3:49 AM, Aug. 23, 2008

Las Vegas, 22 ago. (Ap) - Un piccolo aereo, il velivolo ancora in fase di sperimentazione Velocity 173 RG, si è schiantato poco dopo il decollo su una casa a breve distanza dal North Las Vegas Airport, in Nevada. Nell'incidente avrebbero perso la vita il pilota e due persone che si trovavano all'interno della villetta. A riferirlo è stato il vicecapo dei vigili del fuoco Kevin Brame, sul posto per domare l'incendio sviluppatosi in seguito all'impatto. Il pilota è morto nell'impatto, così come una delle due persone che si trovavano in casa. L'altra, trasportata d'urgenza in all'University Medical Center di Las Vegas in condizioni critiche, sarebbe deceduta in ospedale a causa delle ferite riportate. L'elica del velivolo, che è situata posteriormente, si sarebbe sganciata intorno alle 6.30 (le 12.30 in Italia), subito dopo il decollo dall'aeroporto di Las Vegas, come ha dichiarato il portavoce della Federal Aviation Administration, l'autorità aeroportuale americana. Il pilota avrebbe c...

Obama veep still a mystery _ intro set Saturday

Posted at 3:47 AM, Aug. 23, 2008

JsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? Rep. Chet Edwards, D-Texas, talks about being considered as Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama running mate in his backyard Friday Aug. 22, 2008 in Waco Texas. Edwards was tight lipped but Democratic officials said he was one of the few Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign and he was a finalist for the job. WASHINGTON (AP) — On a day and night of political suspense, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden emerged as a leading contender Friday to become Barack Obama's vice presidential pick as two running mate rivals learned they had been eliminated.Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine spread word he had been ruled out and Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana was told he was not Obama's choice, according to party officials.The normally loquacious Biden maintained a low profile as associates said they believed — but did not know — he would be tapped. They added they had been asked to stand by in case their help was ne...

Chet Edwards buzz

Posted at 3:47 AM, Aug. 23, 2008

Ban pit bulls? CNN has mentioned his name four times in the past minute. Just how many people were vetted, as he was, they wonder? But they are not staking out his house, from what I can tell. Still, AP is formally saying that he is/was a finalist. Of course, naming him a finalist is just smart. Picked or not, the Dems just helped highlight a really bright, smart guy who can help resurrect the party in Texas. Who is this guy? The real GDUB knows it's the president's own congressman, chairman of the veterans affairs committee in Congress, and Pelosi's suggestion for veep. A moderate Texan who won in a district drawn specifically to get him out of Congress. And a fightin Texas Aggie. I could go on. ... Google him. he's the best choice, I think. But I'm not holding my breath. The Edwards thing is probably a smokescreen and a tip of the hat to Queen Nancy. Chet isn't sexy enough to convert many voters, even Texans. If you want to know who the VP choice is, figure out where his PR ha...
