So all the pressure started getting sucked out of the cabin and it was weird. So I could feel the air being sucked out and I was being like sucked out of the window. And I was like calling the flight attendant for help. So I was holding on to the seat in front of me. So the flight attendant comes by and so I am like holding...

They vehemently deny the notion that a regularly vetted pilot with 35 years' flying experience would suddenly commit mass murder.

...people on his campaign staff, a group of Christian conservatives says Bush promised them in a September meeting that he would not appoint gays to any federal posts, according to the Dallas Morning News. The Bush campaign isn't talking about what happened during the meeting; the Log Cabin Republicans have asked for a clarification.
