- i mean heck - it's obvious the plane landed safely (not so if in opposite traveling traffic methinks) - and cruised safely on amidst the traffic.

I DID find it surprising the traffic behind it did not back off,

but I suspect they were too busy taking pics and videos to share with their friends.

Hell - peeps are falling off cliffs just taking selfies FFS!

Ah well, this is who we've become . . . .

Just not always good at watching something.

I am completely gobsmacked that I really did watch the video and somehow did not recognize what direction the plane was flying in.

Sometimes I'm truly oblivious to reality.
