Upside Down is Bad
This week's crash of a Delta plane in Toronto seemed unsettling, though it wasn't deadly. No one seems quite sure yet how the plane got upside down while landing, though the best bet puts the blame on snow and wind. That said, the plane was coming from here in Minneapolis, where planes land all the time in the snow and wind and always right-side-up.
The survival of all aboard must be credited to the cabin crew, at least in part. It must have been terrifying to be in that plane, though-- to feel it go upside down, slam into the ground, and then find yourself suspended from the ceiling by your seat belt.
It's been a bad few weeks for aviation!
