    40 Years ago today!

    The great tragedy of Trans American flight 209 from Los Angeles to Chicago, was averted when a passenger, and retired US Airforce officer Ted Striker was able to safely land the Boeing 707, with the help of a Stewardess, after the flight crew had become incapacitated by Food Poisoning.

    It's history that deserves to be remembered...

    That's 2 years before I was born! Man it feels good to be still here

    I love the movie airplane so I'll have to thank them for the inspiration for that. I guess that does it (spaceballs too).

    Be Careful on the Internet! I ran and tackled a drive by mining attack today. It's not designed to do anything than provide fake texts (say!)

    Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

    EDIT: Although IMDB shows the release date as 2nd July 1980 so not quite 40 years.
