[DISCLAIMER: We here at the FailWhale Fan Club have the deepest respect and admiration for all those involved with US Airways Flight 1549. We are grateful that there were no casualties. The pilots, the crew, the passengers, and the emergency responders did everything they could to avert a potential disaster. That said, we also feel that laughter is always the best medicine. And this Fail Whale mod seems to be some really good medicine.]

This morning Stella Met posted an interesting comment on the Fail Whale Facebook group’s wall:

“It seems romantic. What is the story of this whale? All the sites seem to have only the merchandising stuff and not the story.”

This is an interesting point and I think we should do something about it! Using what seems like the most appropriate medium, I propose that we all help to write Fail Whale’s back story using Twitter!  You can read what has already been written by searching for #fwh on summize.  And then post the next entry using your own twitter account and tagging it with “#fwh”

Please keep it clean, and let’s have some fun with this!
