Very creative.
This was the plant that, at the time, made 80% of the “black boxes” for commercial jets. A crash had occurred in Texas and the government had brought the infinite loop tape to our plant as we had the best tools for getting signals off degraded tape in existence. A news chopper had been dispatched by one of the networks to get the story. Of course, the techs who worked on it were sworn to secrecy and the tape was never out of the sight of the government reps. So, none of us knew anything. But, there at the front gate was a reporter stopping every car that left and asking.
I was walking out behind a bizarre employee known to us as Earthquake. He had no internal governance whatsoever. It was amazing he could even be employed. I said to him, “Wouldn’t it be interesting if somebody told them the pilot’s voice could be heard saying, ‘It’s a UFO. My God, it’s shooting at us!”
Well, he drove out in front of me. The reporter stopped him. Suddenly she stepped back with her mouth hanging open. The cameraman dipped the camera down and peered around it with his eyes wide. They didn’t even stop me.
The next day, we were all hauled into the cafeteria and given a stern lecture. Everybody looked at me. I looked back with my most innocent expression and shrugged.
