3. I'm told the pilot of the private plane was told to wait and didn't

Lucky the airliner pilot was aware.

5. Some underwear may, or may not . . .

have needed washing that night!

Big panic: WTF?!? Throttle up, throttle up! Nose up! Nose up!

Less air speed and slower reflexes would have caused a disaster.

Pilot of the private plane needs to get his ears cleaned, or his licence revoked. Or something.

(Amtrak wants you to stay on the ground!)

6. The Southwest pilot saved a lot of lives with that maneuver.

Very well trained pilot.

8. Man, that Biden guy still has the power to cause problems! 😁
