If over the sea, you should sell that burial plot already.

I think they are issuing parachutes to window seat passengers, so you should be okay either way.

What a great morning message -

bows are for appreciation of 'dark humor' - used to be a staple of private conversations but has been publicly shunned as sin for so long you never see it much anymore.



thanks for the reminder of the good ol days

Not very. Fly Alaska all the time and the exit row on their 737s is preferable. It wasn’t one of the emergency exits that blew out anyhow.

I'd keep your seatbelt buckled.

The regular plug doors used for entry or on the exit rows are fine. It was a non-accessible door plug near the back that blew out.

Unless you are in front of the engines.


Then you go from reading Popular Mechanics in a cozy cabin to being blended into a hot strawberry margarita in a few tenths of a second.

Better lay down across all seats and use every seat belt.

Every row in that plane has the potential to be the exit row.

I’m just giving you the business. It’s the OT, nothing personal about it.

You got your choice of noises to make when you hit the ground.

One is "SPLAT!"

The other is "BOEING!"

Either way, it won't be good.

Fun Fact:
Based in reality. My Pops was Airborne in WWII, he told me that he learnt in Jump School that sometimes folks whose parachutes didn't properly open bounced when they hit the ground and sometimes they didn't.
