Grease- Let's say you are in 727 flying over Hawaii and suddenly the roof rips off the plane. As it banks into it's death spiral straight to the ground, who do you curse as the 300mph air blast rips at your face? Do you curse the stewardess? No, she or he was only making a living. Do you curse the pilot? No, he's just flying the plane. Do you curse the mechanics? No, they were just fixing what the maintenance books told them to fix. Do you curse the airplane manufacturer? No, the plane was flying far beyond it's designed airframe life. And so it gos. I don't know about you crisco, but I would be cursing the son-of-a-bitch who ultimately makes all the decisions, the President of the goddamn airline. So I wonder, as these TDI instructors and students were clawing the fingernails of their hands as they gasped their last breaths to oblivion, who were they cursing?
