on november 19, 1996, a 19-seat united express flight landing in quincy, illinois, collided with another twin-engine turbo prowp prawp that was taking off. they slammed into each other at the intersection of two runways, killing 14 people aboard the two planes. the national transportation safety board concluded the probable cause was a failure of the pilots in the outbound flight to monitor the radio frequence for air traffic and properly scan for other planes. if a tower was there, it's highly likely the accident would have been prevented, said hannah, who became director of the quincy airport two years after the crash. the 238 air traffic control facilities that could be closed were chosen because they are at airports less than 150,000 flight operations per year and they are located in every state. again, mr. president, the point of this amendment is not whether or not i find the right words to convince my colleagues to allow this amendment to come to a vote. and as much as i struggle through the morning hours trying to figure out what those might be, the real issue here is not about m

one way to think about it - and this is fairly obvious - it's a mode of religious expression that unites words, so we have representational symbols - words in different languages, different cultures, and gestures - we don't want to forget gestures either - to form a kind of sacred drama. gestures are very, very important - how one uses the hands. annette brought this up about if you don't know the proper gestures when you're in a ritual, then you're out of key - when do you kneel, when do you stand, hands open, hands closed - so gestures become extremely important. those of you - i went by this, but you know how important hand gestures can be if you've gone to another culture; you have to be very careful about whatand you use or what you do. there's a lot of certain hand gestures we might use here but we wouldn't use them in this class because it's a family class, but you'd all recognize - like somebody runs a red light and almost hits you. these are kinds of things. we've mentioned the soccer game. gestures that are sounds that are agreed upon. in this culture, we boo when we're angry,
