I think he was going more for a message and creativity than realism...

I guess the part after the crash is all in his mind?
Oh I thought it was the number of deaths caused by the accident but took less than 30 days to die from complications from the accident. But given the title your explanation makes a lot more sense.

Of course looking at the numbers: I think to myself "Good Hell Germany!"

You wouldn't visit france because of an animated film? That's kinda weird. I know conservative folks like yourself don't have a lot of love for france these days - I don't really understand it, but I know it. It's just weird to me because if you go a little further back in the history books there might not even be a united states if France hadn't supported us in the early days.

I must confess, my connection was kind of sketchy so I didn't even watch to the end - I have no idea what the end said and I'm getting kind of sleepy - if I said something stupid I take full responsibilty :laughing: :laughing: Good night.
