Happens once every few months.

Happens once every few months.

Yeah, but there is no divert airports in the middle of the Pacific. What I call an "attention getter."

Yeah that would suck 3 hours into a flight over the pacific.

Apparently it was calm enough to take selfies.

 

[BobDispatch]

Great job done by this crew.

And this was also an "attention getter" for the dispatcher.

 

[BobDDuck]

That poor, poor life vest on the big guy is just praying that it doesn't have to try to keep him floating in the water.

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

Yeah, but there is no divert airports in the middle of the Pacific. What I call an "attention getter."

Yep.

A few airlines fly over 87n on the way to Hong Kong.

What do you do there? At least you might survive ditching in the pacific!

The more I see selfies, the more I want to stab myself for ever taking one.

Yeah, remember when we took pictures of things like, I dunno, "the stupendous wonder of the natural world" or even just "other people"?

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not.

87N is 87 degrees of latitude north.
