Like airing the Towering Inferno on September 12th. As a Kentuckian, I realized how close I could have come to losing a loved one on the flight as well. Granted, I didn't, but I found the spoof just as unthoughtful. Nita Rene hits the nail on the head….If you lost a loved one on Flight 5191, you’d consider it a strong slap on the face.

People happen die every day in this country and in the world of things much more preventable and tragic and no one seems concerned. My heart goes out to everyone who loses people for whatever reason but I think that it’s ridiculous to take this issue and run with it as if it is some large faux paus.

Why are you so overly sensitive when it comes to comedy, the bit was funny. Get over it…it is obvious that this was not a slap at anyone.
