[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS wouldn’t close all the schools in the county due to a handful of schools without power, right?[/quote]

Way more than a handful…[/quote]

MCPS just sent out a communication that notes 44 schools without power, plus 6 central office facilities. Sounds to me like they are planning for a closure.

Lawyer pilot should be fined to cover all these costs.[/quote]

Why? It was an accident. Obviously he didn’t intend to crash into a power line and remain suspended in the air, with his life at risk, for multiple hours. The entitlement and selfishness on this thread is unreal. [/quote]

I think they’re mostly ridiculous, too, but I’ll admit, the more I think about it, the less sure I am where the line is. If I accidentally crash my car into someone’s home, my car insurance is supposed to pay for the damages, right? I've never heard of that applying to the damage done to public structures or roads, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't.[/quote]

And why isn’t Pepco to blame? Doesn’t seem like they are acting very expeditiously. I remember the 24 hours it took them to restore power in MoCo during a snowstorm. In Virginia, the lights would be on by now. [/quote]

Reminds me of the snowstorm where people were trapped on the highway for 36 hours….in Virginia. [/quote]

New Englander here. Again, that is the special entitlement of people here who think snow should not inconvenience them. It’s the reason I only drive large 4WD SUVs around here - people drive like idiots and have no respect for weather. Yesterday I had some MD yahoo push me into the right lane in a construction area because he was behind me and felt entitled to be in front of me, so passed me on the left on route 7. Just grabbed what little shoulder there was and tried to go around me. I had the choice of cutting fast into the right lane, or letting him run me and him into a jersey wall. It was only because I have quick reflexes when it comes to driving that I was able to quickly assess that I had room in the right lane. He got lucky because he was in a small sedan, and would have been crushed for sure. But he HAD to be first because HE was SPECIAL[/quote]
