Greatest photo ever of an unplanned ejection: Capt. Christopher Stricklin ejects from his F16 Thunderbird jet number 6 roughly eight-tenths of a second before impact during an air show on September 14, 2003, at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho. Video page 8 has clips from both the ground and from inside the cockpit! | ||

This is a collection of the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists. As I said on an earlier page with regard to the 9/11 hijackers, it's a shame we have no idea what a potential terrorist might look like. We have no hint as to age, race, sex, national origin, hair color, eye color, facial hair...nothing. It's too bad, because if we had some idea of a potential hijacker or terrorist's profile, we would be better able to deploy our limited resources to protect our nation. I guess political correctness is more important than security. | ||

On March 16, 2003, Rachel Corrie (seen here teaching children to hate America), a college student from Olympia, Washington, known for her anti-Israel and anti-American activities, who was volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement (which supports "Palestinian" homicide bombings), was run over by an Israeli Defense Force's (IDF) bulldozer which was attempting to tear down a house in Gaza as part of an operation by IDF to eliminate tunnels used by "Palestinian" terrorists to illegally smuggle weapons, drugs and prostitutes from Egypt into Gaza. Her supporters say she was murdered. Her detractors say it was a Darwinian consequence of repeatedly placing herself in front of a bulldozer which has very limited vision. One thing is for certain, judging by the photo, there is a little less hate in the world today. | ||

Lance Armstrong on the ninth stage of the 2003 Tour de France, July 14 - Bastille Day, between Bourg d'Oisans and Gap, southeastern France, following in the draft of team ONCE's Joseba Beloki's rear wheel when Beloki locked up on a slight right hand turn, heat slickened road and went down, fracturing his upper femur, right elbow, right finger with multiple contusions to his hip. Lance went off the road hard to the left to avoid going down as well, jumped off his bike, hopped down a small embankment and rejoined the chase group. | ||

Lance Armstrong on the fifteenth stage of the 2003 Tour de France in the mountains of the Pyrenees 6 miles from the summit of at Luz-Ardiden caught his handlebars on a bag held by a spectator causing Armstrong to fall and, then second-placed, Iban Mayo of Spain to crash into Armstrong. Then third-placed Jan Ullrich narrowly missed the crash and proved himself a gentleman and sportsman by slowing up with the lead group to wait for Armstrong as Armstrong had done for Ullrich in 2001. Armstrong went on to win the stage and his fifth Tour de France in a row. | ||

On September 6, 2003, at Lockheed Martin, Sunnyvale, California, the $239 million, eighteen foot long, 5,000 pound, NOAA-N Prime weather satellite, complete except for its solar panels and scheduled for launch in 2008, fell three feet to the ground during a routine test while being repositioned from vertical to horizontal on the "turn over cart" causing severe damage as the result of 24 bolts not being in place at the base. | ||

This picture may not be here for long, as many websites which had originally posted the pictures of pregnant actress Catherine Zeta Jones smoking have now removed the pictures because of threats of legal action by Jones and husband Michael Douglas, no-smoking.org and ash.org remain the exceptions. People who smoke are illogical, women who smoke while pregnant are child abusers and should be dealt with accordingly. | ||
