My father sent a hard copy of this piece. It's amusing. It contains
a statistic which I'd long suspected, but never seen in print: number
of wide-bodied aircraft that have made successful landings on
water...zero.
"There's a life jacket under your seat...inflatable slides detach to
form life rafts..."
...About as useful as water-skiing instructions are to a basking shark.
