Saturday Movies...
I like to watch "Air Disasters" on TV, but Jerry refuses. This would freak me fucking out if I were inside!
Former flight attendant here. I can see the fascination to be sure, but oh, when I read the transcript from the cockpit of Air France 447, I burst into tears. My partner was so sad for me. The week after the crash I was in Buenos Aires having dinner with an Air France crew. Fuck, that was tough.
For a long time now airline people have been down on Boeing for good reason.
Sicko, that's right. The crew did something that brought the plane to a stall and didn't know it. They were dropping like a rock, after one quick realignment, and didn't realize it until the Terrain Warning alert went off. The captain's last words were, "This isn't happening."
None of the passengers had water in their lungs, which means they died before they instantly.
Sorry to share this, but it helps me again. Later.

The older my husband and I are getting, the more we REALLY appreciate driving someplace for vacation. We'll take 10 days get in the truck and drive.
And then you watch John Oliver outline the problems at Boeing and we both go, "Not no, but HELL no!".

Rad - Thanks for that link! John Oliver really knows how to stick it to 'em.
LeftField - I had to refresh my memory about that crash. But that plane was an Airbus. Tragic either way.
