In related news:

  • The captain's last words to air-traffic control

    We're going to be in the Hudson


  • The passenger on 17F said

    It was a mess, but it was incredibly orderly


  • The passenger on 23F said

White Christmas, too

Last night was cold enough that we got our first snow. There's a 2008 movie on the interwebs I'm planning to watch to make the experience better :wink:

Merry Christmas!
