1. That is sad

don't know her, but it's sad.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. She was an evil anorexia-for-Jesus pusher. I wouldn't wish her fate on anyone, but

the world will not be a worse place without the dangerous belief system she pushed, which hopefully will sputter out without her.

[ChubbyStar]

37. The plane sputtered out we do know that n/t

[CurtEastPoint]

3. oh my she is not well

[JohnQFunk]

5. She looks like an Ann Coulter clone with bad 1970s hair. I'll never be able to unsee that.

[2naSalit]

6. Looks like a hostage...

of some sick, killer cult that's obsessed with extreme make-up.

[Grokenstein]

7. Ack!

ACK ACK ACK!!

[GoCubsGo]

22. Was she in "Hairspray"?

She's got the "Velma Von Tussle" thing going there.

[Grokenstein]

24. Tim Burton's "Mars Attacks!"

41. I shouldn't laugh, but that was a really funny remark.

[Paladin]

33. "Advanced eating disorder" was the first thing I thought of when I saw that image. (nt)

[MarineCombatEngineer]

34. Is this what a zombie actually looks like?

If so, that is some scary shit.

8. In other news I care about, my garbage pickup was late this morning.

2020 has removed my varnish of civility.

[ornotna]

17. I too am more concerned

About your garbage pickup. I hope you get through these trying times.

[Hortensis]

36. May it finally rest in peace, Gulf.

In our neck of the woods, the serviceberry is shaking like it's possessed by demons, but it's just four squirrels gorging on the berries and chasing each other around it. Pretty morning.

9. The police are presuming everyone aboard was killed

The pieces they are pulling out of the lake are really small, which indicates the plane hit the water extremely hard.

[hatrack]

11. Yeah, when the words "debris field" appear in the coverage, survivors aren't likely . . .

[Lars39]

12. I wonder if they were going to see Trump

destination was Palm Beach Airport

[hatrack]

13. I think he's in New Jersey for the summer

.

[Lars39]

14. ah. forgot about that

[littlemissmartypants]

15. There's a 30 mins. plus rescue video here...

https://www.thedailybeast.com/airplane-said-to-carry-gwen-shamblin-lara-and-6-others-crashes-into-percy-priest-lake

There are approximately six rescue boats and two drones searching on scene, I saw what looked like a lone life vest floating in the water. Others more experienced in rescue can probably make more sense of it than I could. Anyone interested in learning more about how these rescues are staged may find it interesting.

Tragic overall.

[denbot]

16. Apparently they didn't have a prayer..

What?!? Too soon?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

29. LOL,

while her seemingly death isn't funny, your post is.

Semper Fidelis.

[JI7]

19. Never heard of her

[Hekate]

20. Nor I

[malaise]

28. Well looking at the links I can see why - these are crazy ass grifters

[onethatcares]

35. nope

maybe they were the first to get raptured

[Hugin]

25. I wouldn't feel bad if they sent in Lt Columbo on this.

It's got facets.

[Liberal In Texas]

27. What's a "Christian Diet?"

Loaves and fishes? Wine made out of water?
Apparently it causes your hair to tease into a weird bouffant.

[Hugin]

30. I'm guessing it's similar to "Christian Insurance".

That hair appears to be a wig.

In a search the Cessna Citation Jets have developed a nasty habit of becoming a lawn dart on final approach. Four incidences since December. This would be the fifth.

[malaise]

31. A diet of tithes from the gullible

They prey and prey and prey!

[MarineCombatEngineer]

32. +100. nt

38. Wedding Pic from 2018. She's 64 yo here...good grief.....

The 2018 wedding of Gwen Shamblin and Joe Lara had marked as a high event for their church.

Was Trump there?

Sounds like she was nothing but a vile grifter...

[ChubbyStar]

39. I guess she never gave up her dream of being Prom Queen

Was she hiding food in her hair and dress? She really needed to eat.

40. Joe Lara

Her husband, who presumably died in the crash, was an actor and played Tarzan in one of the reincarnations of the Tarzan TV series.
