Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. I've only read the one NYT mention so far, and it seems to be pre-debunking:
"The pilots have turned blue. Farewell cousin - we're frozen," one passenger wrote in a text message from a cellphone, according to an interview with a relative on Greece's Alpha television.

If it got cold due to depressurization, wouldn't you suffocate first? In my head, short of flash freezing, I think cold usually takes a little longer. Or at least on an airplane with a leak.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. But the aircraft's emergency oxygen masks did drop down. So theoretically some could have survived the depressurization.

Voutas had called Greek television stations shortly after the Helios Airways flight crashed into a mountainous region north of the capital Sunday, saying his cousin, who he identified as Nikos Petridis, was on board.
He claimed his cousin had sent him a cell-phone text message minutes before the crash saying: "Farewell, cousin, here we're frozen."
The report that the plane was cold was taken as a sign of decompression — one of the possible explanations authorities have given for the crash, which was Greece's deadliest. But police in Thessaloniki said they had determined he was lying, and there was no Petridis on the Cypriot government's official list of victims.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's me, isn't it? I finally had time to take lunch and catch up, and now no one is talking,

So bored. Natter not talking. Can't leave desk.
Dude, I just spent the last hour and a half trying to fix someone's computer while everyone else in the corporate office dropped by with a new problem.
And then a man in a wheelchair bummed a cigarette from me.

Has anyone ever used Stormpay --- it's like paypal or bid pay.
Co Worker won an auction but didn't read the fine print that she only accepts this. We've never heard of it and right now neither of us can sign up for it because it only accepts email addressess associated with an ISP. I think I have an Earthlink address, but I'm not sure and the phones at work or down so I can't call Sprint and find out.
