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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I must have skimmed too much. Which 737/vehicle?
The 737 slid off the runway at Midway Field in Chicago and went into an intersection, hitting two vehicles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is this ep good?
Only got half an hour in, and haven't seen any of the others. It looked fine for the genre.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
From the Trib:
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 attempting to land at Midway Airport in heavy snow Thursday evening slid off a runway, broke through a barrier fence and stopped in the middle of the street at 55th Street and Central Avenue.
At least two vehicles were damaged, and one was pinned under part of the plane, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.
Five people were taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn in an unknown condition, said Deborah Song, a spokeswoman.
The plane, Southwest Flight 1248 from Baltimore, was landing about 7 p.m, according to fire and police reports. There were 98 passengers aboard and a crew of five, said Wendy Abrams, a spokeswoman with the Chicago Department of Aviation, which controls the airport.

Matt, if he had called on his phone, the star 69 would have already been used, I am sad to admit.
I could watch the news to find out about the plane crash, but I don't want to get all upset before bed.
My parents' watched news every night they were here over Thanksgiving and it made me so tense.

Hey, I gots me some sleeping babies! That's a good thing.
Thanks everyone for being so supportive. In the end, it wasn't such a big deal except that it wasted the whole morning.

Last time my mother was here I left the room whenever she turned on the news. She thought I was kidding about being avoidant. I shoved my dad away from the remote when he was here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The 737 slid off the runway at Midway Field in Chicago and went into an intersection, hitting two vehicles.
Holy crap.
Burrell, the best kind of crisis is the one that turns out not to be such a big deal.
