Michael Phelps and a bong? Is there any truth to this?

are we sure that's Phelps?
If true, he seems to have a habit of screwing up in the very next Novembers after Olympics...
anyone here from the UK? How reputable is "news of the world"?
How could he be so careless?

How bout Captain Sully Sullenberger and his crew for example? Some say he and his crew were just doing thier jobs and hence they aren't really heroes....but I (and many others I am sure) would say that his actions were most definitely of the heroic variety....but who the heck am I anyway!
Welcome back Jim.
About the US Captain. I disagree. What he did was not only his job, but what he's really trained for: react swiftly and correctly to emergencies.
That's why they get the big bucks, where flying is 99.9% boredom mixed with the .1% moment(s) of absolute terror.
Any person can take off and fly a plane (and maybe even land it).
I read somewhere that the NTSB takes six months to analyze to death an incident that a pilot might have had only six seconds to react to.
Why does this whole thread give me a feeling of "déja vu"?
