By now you’ve heard about the pilots that missed their Minneapolis destination by 150 miles and was out of radio contact for over an hour. The pilots on Northwest Flight 188 claim they were having a heated debate about airline policy and lost track of time. Lost track of time to the point you forgot to land the plane? What?
Hmm … I wonder what those pilots were really talking about. They had initially hoped that the flight recorder would hold the key to what was going on for that hour in the cockpit. But because of the older model recorder on Flight 188, they may only have the last 30 minutes of conversation from the flight (they were in the air for another 45 minutes once they regained contact with the crew).
Here are ten things that may have been heard during that lost hour of conversation:
1. “I will not stop and ask for directions.”
2. “I know a great shortcut.”
3. “Are you out of your mind?! Spiderman would destroy Batman one-on-one!”
4. “It’s not called coke or pop … it’s soda!”
5. “Wait, wait, this is my song! Turn it up!” *turns up Journey, “Don’t Stop Believing”*
6. “Can miss Becky please report to the cockpit now! I need some of that good good.”
7. “What happens at 37,000 feet stays at 37,000 feet.”
8. “Wake me up in 20 minutes.”
9. “Gucci Mane’s lips are clearly made out of leather … well maybe they could be made out of tar. Whatever they are, it’s gross.”
10. “What do you think about the healthcare public option?”
