When Everything Goes Right

This morning Today Show devoted a whole 10" to an interview with Darren Harrison, the guy who took over the airplane when the pilot developed a medical emergency. This will give a lift to your day like nothing else: the interview reveals obstacles he overcame that haven't been talked about before.

Sometimes in life, everything goes wrong--but other times everything goes right and this is one of them.

Early in the interview, it showed a shot he took where he was barefoot and had his feet up on the seat across from him. Obviously he thought he was going to relax. Nice intro to:

"Dying? Not today. Nope, too much going on here." (approximate quote)

Watch for the part about the headphones with the frayed ending.

And last, but not least, the kind of guy Darren Harrison is is revealed when he tells what was in his "thank you" prayer: who his mind was on.
