1. NTSB is under DoT....

...they're open for another ten days or so. So if you were planning to crash, adjust your dates accordingly.

2. That IS serious. That's why someone on TV said they need to

get this done no later than Monday.

3. The hold-up with the FAA is only...

...tangentially related to the shut-down.The actual issues are rural subsidies, the number of landing slots at DCA/Washington National, and the biggie -- the extent to which the FAA's employees may be unionized.

4. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!

I see all this uproar on DU, this thread, and I check the CNN website and don't see anything. Boehner walks away from the debt ceiling talks, but a Republican walking out off negotiations happens three times a day. WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

5. This is, I believe, referring to a shutdown of FAA...

...failure to pass their appropriation bill.

6. FAA does not investigate crashes...that belongs to the NTSB under the DOT
