All in one day. This man is not well. Impeachment and removal NOW.
When a friend here is ill, and you are posting words of comfort in a comment, my advice is to just leave it at that. Don't go on to say that a relative died of the same illness. Or make it about you. But, you can donate to their Go Fund Me. Or fix a casserole. Or cut their lawn.
“The plane went silent.”
That’s what passengers aboard British Airways Flight 9 remembered most.
Not screaming.
Not alarms.
Silence.
On June 24, 1982, the Boeing 747 was flying over Java at 37,000 feet with 247 passengers onboard when Senior Engineer Barry Townley-Freeman noticed engine temperatures rising dangerously fast.
Then passengers started calling flight attendants:
“There’s something glowing outside the window.”
Blue light flickered through the engines.
White sparks danced across the wings.
It looked beautiful.
In the cockpit, Captain Eric Moody watched Engine 4 fail.
Then Engine 2.
Then 1.
Then 3.
Within minutes, all four engines were dead.
A fully loaded 747 became a powerless glider descending toward the Indian Ocean.
No thrust.
Barely any radio communication.
No idea what caused it.
Passengers woke from sleep to something deeply unnatural:
The absence of engine noise.
At 37,000 feet, a jetliner should roar.
Instead, there was only wind.
Captain Moody got on the intercom and delivered one of aviation history’s most famous announcements:
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.”
Some passengers thought it was a joke.
The flight attendants’ faces said otherwise.
What nobody onboard knew was that the plane had flown directly through a volcanic ash cloud from Mount Galunggung.
The ash was made of microscopic glass particles.
Inside the engines, the particles melted at extreme temperatures and coated the turbines like cement, suffocating all four engines one by one.
At 15,000 feet, oxygen masks deployed.
At 12,000 feet, the crew prepared for a night ditching into the ocean.
Captain Moody knew the odds of surviving a water landing in a 747 were almost nonexistent.
Then he tried restarting the engines one final time.
Engine 4 sputtered.
Caught.
Then another.
Then another.
All four engines roared back to life.
But the nightmare still wasn’t over.
The volcanic ash had sandblasted the cockpit windshield so badly the pilots could barely see through it.
Captain Moody had to land a damaged 747 at night using only a tiny clear section of the side window while his first officer called out altitude and distance manually.
Against every odd, the aircraft landed safely in Jakarta.
Every single person onboard survived.
After the incident, volcanic ash became a globally monitored aviation hazard.
And Captain Eric Moody’s calm announcement became legendary — still taught today as a masterclass in crisis leadership:
Tell the truth.
Stay calm.
Give people dignity.
Even when you’re falling out of the sky.
37 years ago we lost the great Gilda Radner.
On that day, Steve Martin was hosting the #SNL S14 finale. In his monologue, he & the show pay tribute to Gilda's passing with one of her classic sketches.
G.E. Smith (her 1st husband) leads the band out to commercial.
RIP Gilda.
Anyone who ever worked behind the scenes on a show with Stephen Colbert knows he is an absolutely fantastic person. One of those folks who has a knack for making everyone feel special and his presence is a gift. I was assigned to him as a wrangler on ‘Night of Too Many Stars’ back in ‘17. There was a moment where a talented young performer on the spectrum was going to play piano on stage and due to a miscue some confetti came down which distracted her and stopped the performance. This may have been dress rehearsal if memory serves. I remember a tense moment as talent & producers huddled next to stage right monitors wondering how to proceed or if the item should be cut. Astute and sensitive folks seemed frozen as to the right move. Suddenly Stephen said I got this guys and walked out onto stage, sat with her at her piano and comforted her and conveyed how much he alone wanted to see her play, ‘do the song as if your just playing for a friend, never mind the distractions, I know it’s scary but I’m right here with you’ She played wonderfully and in that moment in my eyes you saw the measure of the man, a father, a friend, a fellow performer reminding us all why we were really here and what truly matters in this life: love and humility and lifting each other up. We could all use more of that in this world right now and I have now doubt his light will continue to illuminate. He’s also a Radiohead fan & a brilliant comic, what more could you want in this life.🙏
I was out for a jog last night and spotted this boy.
He is tiny and I could tell he was utterly broken from living on the streets.
I couldn’t get him out of my head so we went back today… (1/7) 🧵
@1MichaelSperber@Kristinartz Omggg I friggin loooove this movie!!! John Barry did the score which is basically the 3rd main character of the movie 🎥 ❤️ Noe I must watch it again!
The slush fund.
The ballroom.
The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card.
Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.
OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.
You won’t hear this on Fox News:
California just released a balanced budget that wipes out the deficit this year AND next — while protecting health care and safety nets.
Meanwhile, Trump ADDED $2.4 TRILLION to the federal deficit with his “Big Beautiful Betrayal.”
Republicans ruin budgets.
Democrats balance them.
Adulting matters.
