It's not anything new, but the Regs' take amuses me;

On Tuesday (21 Sept, an American Airlines flight from London to Washington was diverted to Bangor, Maine, following a terror scare. Alarmingly, it was only after the plane was aloft that authorities discovered singer Cat Stevens, aka Yusuf Islam - who wrote such violent anthems as "Wild World," "Peace Train" and "Morning Has Broken" - to be among the passengers.

Tensions were high, and it was only through the bravery of a federal SWAT team, marshaled on the tarmac to greet the plane, that catastrophe was averted. Thanks to the heroism of armed federal agents and snipers, everyone on board was evacuated safely.

:lol:
That's definitely a different way of telling it... only the British. :D
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

But from the left side of the road point of view?

 
I think from both points in the same thread, actually.
