Five People Killed Near Travolta's Home

76. I feel sorry for the families of the 5 young men because no parent should have to bury their child but drag racing on a runway deserves a Darwin Award.

If you do the math, they had braked down to 70 mph before becoming airborne.

People die of pneumonia every day. Jim Henson died of it several years ago. It's an opportunistic infection that attacks when the body is already weakened for some other reason. Heath Ledger died because of the prescription sleep aids he was taking. Any CNS depressant can depress the central nervous system too far resulting in death. Please check medical facts before posting about it.

I agree that Travolta and his religion have nothing to do with the story and at least he treats it like a religion instead of using it as an excuse to spout off about everything under the sun like that idiot Cruise.

Eva, there is no similarity between Scientology and Christianity. You are an idiot if you think so. Or a Scientologist yourself. Scientology is the result of a bar bet between John W. Campbell (editor of Analog Science Fiction Magazine). L. Ron Hubbard and another science fiction author. Campbell bet them $50 that it was impossible to invent a religion so stupid no one would believe it. Hubbard came up with Scientology, lost $50, and laughed all the way to the bank when people started giving him their life savings. The story is well known in the science fiction community.

80. Pneumonia obviously still kills. Nicole DeHuff, he actress who played Teri Polo's sister in Meet The Parents (the one Ben Stiller wacks with the ball playing water polo and gives the bloody nose to) died in the hospital about 2 yrs ago from pneumonia at age 30. It sounds crazy, like dying of Scarlett fever or something, but you can still die of it.

81. Petunia, You need to take a break after reading the Illuminatus Trilogy before you try to communicate with the outside world again. Take your meds, take a nap and watch a romantic comedy or two. That will help to get your head back into real space.

Eve, you are an idiot. Scientology is a cult which preys on people when they are at their most vulnerable like college students away from home for the first time. They have a nest in every college town in America. More than thirty years ago I nearly fell for their lies. I took their "free personality test" and was told if I didn't join them I'd commit suicide and by the way wouldn't I like to buy a copy of Dianetics. I decided I'd be damned before I'd prove them right by killing myself. Because of that decision and despite Scientology, I've had a wonderful life with a great husband, kids and career. I did research Scientology and several other religions and Scientology and the Moonies are only slightly saner than the Jim Jones cult or those comet worshipers who committed mass suicide.

82. Not only is Jack Nicholson still alive and kicking (even though he wore clown makeup... OMG!!!), so is Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands), John Leguizamo (Spawn) and the list goes on and on...

83. Right on Boston Belle: Eve....you are speaking on behalf of a "religion" that was made up by a science fiction writer. L Ron was an drunk as well as a person who dabbled in mind altering drugs. THAT explains most of his storyies about Xenu and Thetans! This is the key point to undermining Scientology as a religion: It was made up as a science fiction STORY which LRH turned into a RELIGION to fleece the guillable. I guess he sequed it into a religion since it wasn't even very GOOD science fiction! As evidenced by John Travolta's movie, Battleship Earth.

At any rate....sorry for those 5 kids....at that age, kids think they'll live forever, my prayers are with their families.

85. Tom Cruse: "Being a Scientologist, ahhhh, you look at someone and you know absolutely you can help them..." "So for me, it is really KSW." "Being a Scientologist.....when you drive past an accident, it's not like anyone else, it's like you drive past, you know you have to do something about it, 'cause you KNOW you are the only one who can help." Travolta being best sciento-loco buds with Cruise, I hope that at least he offered up a prayer to whatever higher being they wor$hip for the souls of those five men.

Peace be with their families during this difficult time.
