Great show tonight Anderson. See you guys tomorrow night after PIP show. Good night all Blogers and remember to pray for Mr Yoon.
Nite kids! oooh...PIP tomorrow!
Night all.
Night all..This time tomorrow night will all be PIPped.. And all a little smarter for it.
Congrats AC360 on having the best iTunes downloads with the podcast! I must say, I totally enjoyed the show tonight. Keep it coming!
Have a great evening bloggers! Nite all!
wow! I watched Mr. Yoon and was just crying...I feel for him as I have a family of my own and can't imagine having to go through such a horrible experience. May you find strength and courage to move forward!
Maybe we can learn something from the gentleman that lost his family in the jet crash. He doesn't blame the pilot or screaming lawsuit for an accident that was unavoidable.Maybe we learn for him!
Mr. Yoon is making me cry and it touched my heart!!!!!
Good night Anderson, Erica and best bloggers and David Gergen...
Have a great night and sleep tight!!!
See you tomorrow night and on Friday night!
Day of the shot with Obama plate ads! no ads! LOL!
Thank you Anderson for making me smile with the shot! My emotions were all over the place earlier! Good night dear Anderson! Love ya! xo
As for using B. Hussein Obama's middle name: I selected my son's name for the meaning it possesed (Ahmad = Most Praise worthy) (Hassan = Most Honorable). Hassan, and Hussein are very simular in meaning. However, after he had been in the Navy for a year or two I was asked to verify his American status. I am glad that Obama's middle name lifted the weight of my sincere choice to give my son a name he could live up too "Most Honorable"! My son lives up to his, and (Ha Ha) Obama has too!
Wait!!!! I want a Lou Dobbs Commemorative Dustbuster! Anderson, you big tease! Where do we call to get one.....????????????
have a good night everyone 🙂
Congrats on the podcast. I download it when I miss
the show.
My heart and prayers go to don yoon and his beautiful family. looking at the photos brought me to tears . i pray that God give him strength and courage to carry on. their is no closure but hopefully a sense of his family being at peace. resting in God's presence will help him,i pray for this.
Wow - Mr. Yoon's capacity for forgiveness is amazing. My heart goes out to him.
Good show tonight, Andrson, Erica and fellow bloggers.
Way to end on a high note with the shot! where do I find one of those? LOL
That Mr. Yoon can speak publicly at all after such a horrible tragedy is amazing enough, but the grace and forgiveness he displayed is staggering.
How can we send notes of condolence to this extraordinary man, Mr. Yoon? His remarks were nothing less than spiritually heroic. Our hearts ache for him. I know I am not alone in wanting to express our deep condolences for his tremedous loss.
My heart breaks for Mr. Yoon's loss. He's far more evolved than most of us when it comes to forgiveness.
I feel so hurt by Mr. Yoon's loss. I know many people just wish there was something they could do to help take some of his pain from him. I would do it myself if I knew how to do it. He is suffereing so much. About all we can do is pray for him and his family back in korea.
My prayers are with that beautiful young man who lost his family. What a strong human being. He asked for help in dealing with the tragedy and I pray that he gets the help and love he needs. But, he has so much to teach us. My thoughts are with him. And the pilot.
The pilot ejected too early. There were two fields only two rows of houses away to the left of the plane and directly ahead of the plane. There's going to be an investigation and I think that the pilot is at fault.

i believe i will end my nite with mr yoon and some reflection.
goodnite all and god bless.
God bless Mr. Yoon. what a brave man.
My heart bleeds for this man who lost his family on Monday. He must be in so much pain right now, but to look beyond that and offer forgiveness and kind words to that pilot, wow, that's amazing.
I can watch with tears in my eyes, but a doubt in my mind. When will we hear about the multi million dollar lawsuit? We all know it will come. And no, I do not believe any amount of money can take away the pain of tragic death. I believe all lawyers who go for these kind of cases should be caged.
Betty Ann,
Mr. Yoon made me cried too
This is absolutely incredible. You can't really know how you are going to react to something until it happens but I'm not sure I could be that strong. Mr. Yoon is an incredible man and my heart goes out to him.
Poor Mr. Yoon – so obviously still in shock. I hope the Korean community comes together for him when the horrible reality sets in.
@ Jo Ann,
i learned to stop wondering why these things happen to decent people. that only brings you closer to the edge of sanity.
i think that even in my time of personal grief, i would still have to feel compassion for the pilot – the guilt he must feel would be so horrible – i would probably try to extend some sort of comfort to him as well.
however, it is easy to say what we THINK we would do. sometimes we don't know until we are actually tested, and we surprise ourselves.
Mr Yoon has given us all an example to strive for. He showed so much strength, I hope and pray he'll find some peace.
Ah well, time to go soon. Anderson, don't forget that sharks like lean meat!
Very cool to see you dive with the sharks, Anderson. Really fabulous and I can't wait to see the whole show tomorrow.
what an inner strength... adorable
it's never really clear why bad have to happen to good people...you just want to cry watching this...
Applause for Wal-Mart. Finally a company proving they care for their employees more than the add'tl profit.
Great job Wal-Mart!
Hearing Mr. Yoon's statement again brought tears to my eyes.
I think my heart just broke. But what an amazing person. God bless you Mr. Yoon.
Good evening Anderson and Erica and fellow Bloggers,
Thank you for the awesome stories tonight. I am really touched by one in particular and I want to say that my deepest condolences go out to Mr. Yoon and his family. What a courageous man to have lost his loved ones in such a tragic way and to still find love and compassion in his heart to be forgiving. What a formidable individual!
This poor man! What a beautiful and brave soul. I wish him the best in the world.
It brings tears to my eyes to listen to this man's courage during such a painful moment.
Ugh! I hate Wal-Mart!! I worked there for 2 years as a customer service manager, the things they teach you...in a freakin church no less!!! I hated when I had to go to those meetings there....grrrr!!!!! They don't care about anyone....
I agree Anderson. He's extraordinary. Wow! So Calm.
Courage is what describes this man. He is a real human being. Such a beautiful family too.
Mr. Yoon is making me cry. ;-(
It makes you wonder when such terrible things happen to such decent people.
My heart goes out to that gentleman who lost his family. God bless him.
Most of the Republicans against the bailout loan come from states that have given huge incentives and tax breaks to foreign companies to build plants there. isn't that a type of bailout?? They are the ones who want workers to work for nothing, have no health care and no pension plan. It is them who will ruin the economy by destroying the middle class!!
Carolyn~ forgiveness, love, and peace is the answer! tis the season! Keep it going!
