when you are engulfed in flames

Watching the news on the Spanair crash last night I was surprised to recognize NBC's "aviation expert" - John Nance, from Air Crash Investigation.  John Nance, by the way, says that there is no precedent for what happened - that the plane shouldn't have banked right if there was a fire in an engine on the left, and that the pilots should have been able to fly even with an engine down.  I've unfortunately discovered that there are many others obsessed with air crashes on YouTube, and am watching all the episodes I haven't seen.  It's even more intense through headphones.  I feel like I'm breathing air crashes.  My mother has forced me to stop talking about them. 

The IOC, God save them, has refused to make any official note of mourning in the Olympics.  Also, I hate the Olympics, but that's old news.

I am back in the U.S. and I am alive.
