My dad's been in the aircraft industry my entire life, and I've never really though twice about anything regarding it. Leave it to Bryson to find all of the most obscure facts about flying, like that guy punching his way out of the side of the crashed plane.
Instantaneous sparks of interest flying everywhere.
