‘Liberty’ and ‘Freedom’ have become buzzwords for storied boogeymen and other nonexistent dark forces against what is essentially white supremacy. What a time to be alive. https://t.co/crhF6Wh6hQ

In 1990, the windshield of British Airways Flight 5390 came off at an altitude of 17,000 feet. This triggered a sudden decompression in the cockpit, resulting in the captain being partially ejected out of the aircraft.

As luck would have it, Nigel Ogden, a flight attendant, was on his way into the cockpit at that moment. He managed to grab hold of the captain and maintain his grip for over 20 minutes while the copilot attempted an urgent landing.

Although the majority of the crew presumed that the pilot had already lost his life, Ogden did not let go.

There was a prevailing fear that if Ogden did release his hold, the pilot's body might strike the plane's engine, wing, or stabilizer, causing even more chaos.

All Ogden knew was that the pilot was gradually slipping more and more out of the window and his head was continuously being battered against the airplane's body.

Finally, after a distressing 20-minute flight with a gaping window, the aircraft was safely brought down at Southampton Airport. In the course of events, Ogden suffered from frostbite on his face, damage to one of his eyes, and a dislocated shoulder. In a miraculous turn of events, the pilot survived the ordeal, although he had frostbite and multiple fractures on his arms and hands.

The labor agitator of the early day held no office, no title, no salary, heard no applause, never saw his name in print, and fills an unknown grave. The labor movement is his monument and though his name is not inscribed upon it, his soul is in it, and with it marches on forever.

In solidarity, and glad auto workers don’t have a 97 year old act of Congress (the Railway Labor Act) preventing successful strikes. Auto workers, I stand with you.

Never thought I’d say this, but LAX is an all-around better airport experience than DIA at this point.

Peña Boulevard is a permanent traffic jam, no parking (but 100s of spaces gated off), security lines wrap around the baggage claim, &c.

Is this the new normal @DENAirport?
