“After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix,
the flight attendant got on the PA and said,
‘Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in
your seats until Captain Crash and the crew
have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt
up against the gate. And, once the tire smoke
has cleared and the warning bells are silenced,
we’ll open the door and you can pick your way
through the wreckage to the terminal.’”
