Just hope that it isn't you in the next one!

I don't. I would prefer it if most flights were uneventful and didn't have much story behind them.

You boneheads really think I meant I wanted more incidents to occur so there were more videos!??!?!?!??!!? How idiotic and asinine are you?

I have several phone numbers stored in my cell just in case this happens to me.

Pre-takeoff checklist
If they are interviewing me asking how I managed to get the plane on the ground safely with an anticlimactic ending, then perhaps that would be okay.

It’s much better to be in a Real Pilot Story than an Accident Case Study!
Most flights are uneventful. But a percentage of them are not. I read @FlySince9’s comment as one I agree with: It would be nice if every eventful flight could be made into a short, educational, and well-produced video like the Real Pilot Stories and Accident Case Studies series. I often have 5 or 10 minutes of time to kill and like to use those short blocks of time to become a safer pilot by learning from others so that, if I ever do have an emergency, it’s the Real Pilot Story kind of outcome.

I think he went through a fatalist period at the nadir, ref calling family to say goodbye.
The engine was running, he had some gas still, and places to go. I hope I want to fight til the end.
