I'd be so pissed if I was on that plane
Your alternative would be being dead. I’d say they did pretty darn well. Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing after all.
I think you missed the point of my joke.
Now to be fair, I catch 99% of internet sarcasm and I thought you were sincere. There is a fair amount to be upset about despite surviving.
I always assume it's not a joke if it's not funny. Later lets me be an ahole when they defend themselves :)
That's why you should always wear brown chinos while traveling.
Doesn't work. Been there. Still shows.
