Edited Friday, March 11, 2005 at 11:30 AM Well, while there doesn't seem to be one individual responsible for this horrible PSA, it was produced by McDonnell Douglas, the FAA and the Air Transport Association as part of a general turbulence education and training campaign. According to the FAA webiste, a whoping 58 people are injured EVERY YEAR by turbulence! an act of violence
Just to put that in perspective, there are more than 40,000 deaths each year in car turbulence (err, accidents) and roughly 15,000 murders a year. It is unknown how many people are victimized each year through other drivers' not turning right on a red where it's legal. —Ganthet |

Friday, March 11, 2005 at 12:37 PM From 1980 through June 2004, U.S. air carriers had 198 turbulence accidents, resulting in 266 serious injuries and three fatalities. At least two of the three fatalities involved passengers who were not wearing their seat belts while the seat belt sign was illuminated. 3 freaking fatalities! And 2 could have potentially been avoided! Retards... —drewdrop |

And there you have the rationale for the creation of this PSA. It goes back to the tard logic of "if we can save just one life".-Mike —One Nut Wonder |

Friday, March 11, 2005 at 3:28 PM It goes to the tard logic of that PSA. It lists a number of activities that are more dangerous than air turbulance (football, rollerblading, skydiving. colonics). —bguirk |

—Dubious Merit ^^ MK Ultra and His Majestic Twelve is cool. Would there be twelve members? or no. If you called it Code of the Woosters, your initials could be COW. Which is pretty cool. Sort of like Jimmy Eat World - I just call them JEW and people give me strange looks when they ask me what bands I like and I say, "I like John Mayer, Michael Tolcher, JEW..." —PureChaos414 |

Saturday, March 12, 2005 at 12:32 PM It could also be "MC Ultra" if you went for more of a rap feel. I dunno that there are twelve things for band members to do, though. Even Oingo Boingo only got up to eight or nine.
MKULTRA
Majestic 12
