I know, Stegiel. The entire situation is absolutely chimeric. Like "Space Oddity": "For here, am I sitting in a tin can/ Far, above the world/ Planet Earth is blue/ And there's nothing I can do." I cannot even envision the trust these people placed in Boeing who evidently can no longer manufacture planes from which wheels and doors don't fly. This version seems quite appropriate for these poor souls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRc0yaMW7Mw
