      - So while the investigation does make a big deal that the pilots never used the word 'Emergency', the FAA does settle to pay 40% - JD Mar 20, 22:00 1
        
        If you ever get that low on fuel you should be declaring an emergency - ty97 Mar 20, 22:04

        Have you gotten to the Tenerife Disaster yet? -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 21:32 1
        
        That wasn't part of this series but I remember reading about that in Newsweek growing up and then trying to find everything I could - JD Mar 20, 21:50
