TERROR AT 38,000 FEET!!!

[Trekker4747]

From the transcript

And I looked up and I had to do a double take. You know, there was this episode of “The Twilight Zone” with William Shatner where he looked out the window and saw a gremlin on the wing of a plane. I had to do the same thing, because I saw the sky outside.

I want a prize.

What else did you expect to see outside?

 

[Michael Chris]

Legendary even without a wombat reference!

 

[Squiggy]

Guys...come on. Working Shatner into the interview was enough of a stretch. I don't think getting a retarded marsupial in there would've made it to air.

It would have been a whole new story about how the sudden pressure change had caused hallucinations and insanity, and we'd see you being carried off by men in white coats.

Of course it would've, you were on CNN. They air Lou Dobbs, after all.

What you said was organic to the situation. It worked.

You were like Carol Burnett tugging on her ear.

Classic beyond words...

 

[Bears Discover Fire]

Following this whole production has been the highlight of my day (that and getting a mention in the crush thread).

My sister works for one of Southwest's affiliates, and has been following this story closely. When I linked her this thread via email and explained that this was the guy she's been seeing on the news all day, she fell out of her chair. Literally. At work.

All things said, I'm glad you're alive to spam another day, Squiggy.

I think I'd much rather see sky than either of the other two choices.


Damn squiggy I don't know what to say here. Glad you're alive man.

 

[pookha]

squiggy glad you are ok.. but who was southwest to think your essence could
be contained by one of their planes.

are you sure you are not about to mutate into some higher lifeform??

[captcalhoun]

[Adm. Bonz]

[Roshi]

Awesome, Squiggy! Kudos!

 

[DiSiLLUSiON]

Glad you're okay, Squiggy. The downside is; any sort of attention whoring you could do on this board will pale in significance to being interviewed on live TV about a frickin' hole.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

We're lucky he didn't try to plug the hole.

 

[RJDiogenes]

You should have said you actually saw the Gremlin. That would have been funny.

 

[Gepard]

We're lucky he didn't try to plug the hole.

"Shuttlepod One" is required viewing for any Trekkie boarding an aircraft. So had he been armed with mashed potatoes, Squiggy would have been in the perfect position to fix the problem.

But that's probably not what you meant.

 

[P0sitr0nic]

Im 13 pages late (thatll teach me to sleep) but... WOO HOO SQUIGG!

 

[Shatmandu]

We're lucky he didn't try to plug the hole.

CNN edited out this bit from the video, but the words existed in the original transcript (since edited):

Campbell Brown: "Did anyone try to plug the opening?"
Michael Cunningham: "I attempted to use my groin as a makeshift cork. But there were ... size issues."
