Unhappy

I've got a small collection of songs which feature recordings of ATC conversations (may I collect my Ms Grabber Special Prize For Sadness now, please?).

These are:

Learning To Fly, Pink Floyd (op. cit.)

The Wreck Of The Fairchild, Thomas Dolby (fake Spanish ATC.)

My Centurion, Gary Numan (not something to play over the PA to the pax, as it's all about engine failure in a Cessna! For your delight and delectation, here's an excerpt from the lyrics:

This machine/No sign of life/Only the whisper of air

She won't turn/She won't climb/She won't stop/She won't fly

I'm falling/I'm silent/I'm thinking/I'm waiting for this thing to end.

All I can do now is wait for the noise.)

Cheering, eh? He walked away from that one, by the way.

And, er, that's it. Any more?
