Some clarifications of some of the blog's postings from yesterday:

I'm gonna assume that if he was flying from Galveston to Katy when he landed in the southbound lanes of I-45, then he must have landed into the oncoming traffic. Which, at noon on Saturday would have consisted of kids going to the beach and old ladies going to the dog track. The real question, as posed by a long-time reader, is how the heck did he taxi off the freeway if he made a forced landing due to engine failure? From this account it doesn't sound like he taxied anywhere.

"Just as we leveled off at 3,000 feet, the engine cut out," he said. "Once that happens, the airplane just turns into a big glider."

Shawn navigated the powerless plane onto the southbound lanes of I-45 and rolled it to a stop on the feeder road shortly before noon. No one was injured.

So that's how he taxied. He didn't

Now for the freak with his brother's arm growing out of his titty. The more I think about it, the more that has to be fake. Other than the obvious reason why I want to believe that it's bullshit, but the lack of details of the procedure, the lack of their last names in the story, and the utter absurdity of it makes me think that the only thing those guys are really clever at is photoshoping their pictures.
