[ WP ] You 're on a plane , and it 's going down .

Fuckin' A-there it goes. I looked out the left window to confirm what my instruments had shown. The engine had indeed suffered a 
 catastrophic breakdown, as evidenced by the increasingly large oil streak working its way down the cowling. 
 
 I know the airplane will fly just fine 
 on one engine-I've done it three times-in the past four months. However, it wo n't maintain the 12,000 feet needed to clear that last ridge line on the way to Montreal, which means finding a alternate airport, dealing with 10 pissed off passengers, and not making it home tonight. 
 
 It was wings and $ 2 taps night at Westwood's too. Damnit.
