You mean the pilot didn’t explain “touch and goes”?

Try being on the bridge when a boiler goes high water, you lose power, and you can’t wave a c-2 off approach in time. brrr.

It was sorta like this: 1st) You know that sound in the movies when something looses power - bwaaaaooooumph. 2nd) pitch black 3rd) ‘crap wave him off, wave him off’ trying to find the mc button to the tower 3rd) engine sounds, screech, screech, engine sounds 4th) Did he make it, was anyone hurt, anyone else in the pattern...somebody get a mop...
