Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly thought provoking or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day. Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

Source: Congolese Police Officer Mambaza, survivor of Friday's IL-76 tragedy in which as many as 200 people were sucked out of the aircraft when the cargo doors opened at 33,000 ft.
