Air Flip


I was all set to get things done on Monday, and then the story about the plane flipping over and lying on its back on the Toronto runway trapped me on the couch all evening.

I want to know all the details. First, I want a digitally enhanced video that shows exactly what happened when it flipped, because what I have is too snowy.

Next, I want to see the other side of the plane. Not the side with the exit doors. The other side, which I imagine suffered all the fire damage, because something caused that big black cloud of smoke (that I misinterpreted as a copse of trees the first twenty times I saw it).

I haven’t seen the news since I started in on work. It was never clear on yeterday’s news reports how many wings popped off. Dropping the wings was by design, they said Monday. Now they say one wing vanished. Is there a wing in the other side of the plane? Let’s see it.

Finally, the article above may have been updated since I saw it, but how are they having trouble finding the black boxes? Are they stored in the wing that’s missing or something?

As you know I have just come off a binge of watching these historic disaster videos where all the answers are served up in less than ten minutes. I find the lack of detail frustrating.
