Go with coincidence Gnadenburg, not even close to being "connected" just a line driver.
I do however have a lot of respect for the captain involved, and know that if it caught him out, it certainly would have caught out the majority of us.
I also don't want a hull loss on our books, and can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would get a "kick" out of one of us bending one, regardless of who was the unfortunate soul who was flying at the time.
