So, shocking news that a plane crashed into the Hudson shortly after take-off yesterday. I'm sure it was a terrible experience for all on board, and it's good to know there were no fatalities.
That said, Hudson Crash Landing Still Better Than Heathrow is a perfect example of why I love the daily mash. Irreverant, topical (given the go-ahead for a new runway at Heathrow), and distinctly not politically correct, get your laughing gear around this:
Kathy Cook, a sales assistant from New Jersey, said: "I looked out the window and saw the water getting closer and closer. I thought of my children, my husband, all the things I've never done and then I thought, 'oh well, at least it's not Heathrow'."
Then go read the full article, and subscribe to the mash news feed. A brief flash of sanity in an otherwise insane world. It's like The Onion, only better.
