Flying good times

I am always into aircraft 'incidents'. If you're a nervous flier, you probably won't like Air Disaster dot com. I personally like flying. Sit me in a window seat and I'll be amused for hours. For example, on my flight last night I watched the spectacular moon-rise over the California coastal mountains flying from SNA to SEA. It began as a huge bright orange globe that morphed into a smaller bone white disc once it broke away from the horizon of the desert peaks. It made the 45 minute delay worth it, just so I could catch those moments in the air. I take it as the universe's blessing of my trip to visit my sweetie here in Seattle.

Here's a quick loop of a plane in Japan being struck by lightening during take-off. Lightening is generally harmless to planes, but the bang is certain to cause a few bladders to release.
