I will never scoff at the emergency slides again!
Yeah, flight attendants giving that little speech are going to get strict attention for a week or two.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

I didn't fly again for almost 10 years, and I white-knuckled it the whole way. I had been a very sanguine flyer before that.

They're interviewing one of the passengers on CNN -- he's sure that everyone got out OK.

Gothamist is running slow, but SFGate seems to have some of the same incredible photos - including those of passengers standing on the wings!

Just crazy. My friends who work at 36th and 10th, on the 7th floor, said they just watched the plane float on by.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jeez louise -- I have been slightly aggravated with an unavailable coworker all week, but then I heard she had had "a medical emergency" on Monday night, and has been "working from home" since, so I thought, OK. Then I just heard she was in a car accident, so I thought that was the emergency, but no! Turns out she's been having gall bladder problems all week and THEN had the car accident today. Yikes!
