Apparently, I have either become more courageous or exceedingly indifferent during my recent trials and tribulations.
On the approach towards landing this afternoon, my (commercial) flight (landing in LA, not Iraq, though it is a fine difference) had to perform, according to the Captain (who had been previously been introduced to the passengers in classic info-doc format - "And manning the plane this morning is Captain Rick, assisted by First Officer Josh". Inspiring) what were referred to as "evasive maneuvers" in order to avoid a private plane that was "out of control."
Again, inspiring.
But as Captain Rick noted, "There was no need to worry. That's why we have all those buttons and gadgets up here, so we can avoid making an unplanned splat."
Wonderful.
I will certainly take that bit of comforting information into consideration as I board my second flight of the day this evening.
