Better keep cutting staff at the FAA and messing with the supply chain. So much efficiency
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
- Well how is it untypical?
  
  Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen.
  
  I just don't want people thinking that tankers aren't safe.
Why didn't the slide deploy? Standing on top of a fuel tank in a fire isn't a great place to be
Getting on a flight in a few hours lol
- Did you make it?
  
  Bumpy ass ride, my partner threw up unfortunately. I've had worse but we've been up for a day and haven't eaten in 12 hours so it was pretty miserable. Alive though so that counts
Coming soon: American Airlines "express exit from wing" as a paid add-on to each flight.
