Rough week for United: "A United Airlines ad across the street from ground zero that read 'You're going to like where we land' has been removed after NBC New York reported that some found it inappropriate….

Flight numbers 93 and 175 were mistakenly assigned to two flights by Continental Airlines."

A quick perusal of the popular press reveals the following percentages.
