Plane With 5 Aboard Crashes in Lancaster County, PA
Those on board were taken to a hospital, officials said, and three of them were transported to a burn center. Radio transmissions indicated the pilot reported an “open door” just before the crash.
At a news conference in the wake of the crash, Manheim Township Police Chief Duane Fisher was asked if he thought the result of the crash was a miracle, he said:
"I don't know if I consider it a miracle, but the fact that we have a plane crash where everybody survives and nobody on the ground is hurt is a wonderful thing."
Best possible answer to a horseshit fluff question. Any reporter that asks that question should just turn in their notepad and go get a different job.
Here’s a non-paywalled local news site
And in PA it’s pronounced “LANK-ister” and not “LAN-caster”
You guys complain about names like "Worcestershire" and then take a much simpler British city name and pronounce it nonsensically. Why so spiteful?
I've always been annoyed about how DuBois, Pennsylvania is pronounced. Everyone I knew would say "Dew-Boys". Uh, okay. I mean, people with that last name must facepalm all the time over that.
I mean, I know most people would just call the Schuylkill Express the Surekill Express as a joke, but even if they didn't, I guess the usual pronunciation approximates how it was said in Dutch (I guess?) - skool-kil. Also, it's not a common last name that I know of. DuBois, on the other hand...
PA has its share of oddness....Intercourse, PA, Blue Ball, PA, and Middlesex township....all the things named Beaver around State College...
Your comment has sent down a road of rage and anger. We have a place in South Austin called Manchaca. You can always tell non-natives by how they pronounce it. People here call it "Man Shack" and people from abroad or new to the area call it "Maun Cha cua"
You post reminded me of this place, and looking it up shows that for some stupid reason, Austin has decided to change the name of the main road from Manchaca rd to Menchaca rd but the area is still Manchaca. Feels the longer Im earth the stupider the world is.
Burnet being called "burn it" and Guadalupe "guada loop" also invoke anger and frustration.
You should see what they did with the gulf of mexico
There’s a town in northeast PA named Throop. Locals pronounce it “troop” just to confuse outsiders.
I grew up about 20 minutes from there, we always pronounced it more like "Lankster", in casual conversation.
Worcester, MA, US.
Give it a try.
LOL, the AI actually read it correctly. I grew up in that area, and remember all the face-palming when some new talking head would join local news and butcher the pronunciation, on the air. I wonder if anyone's ever done a supercut of it...
@SemiHemiDemigod @subunit317 one of us?
@subunit317 this happened right outside a homies grandmother's home... crazy and scary. but it's wild watching how close those planes get to the ground and other cars...
