"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

Well, I’m glad they got the plane’s door closed. Let’s hope they can open it up.
“close it manually”? oh yeah, once a year.Got it.
Have to admit to a wry smile at Fr Z’s comment that it was a useful option to be able to close the plane door. It reminded me of the time when sliding-door trains were introduced in my region and the number of times when they failed to either open or close the doors. I remember on one occasion the automatic opening of the doors ceased to function upon arrival in London and we all waited patiently until a railway official came along to each carriage, disappeared under the train and opened them manually. At least we were on terra firma.
The problems were eventually solved although for the last year there have been sporadic strikes here over who actually operates the doors!
Ok, Father. I know you are traveling. I have no idea what la cuccagna is. But allow me to take a stab at it. In one of the Boston North End (Italian) festivals during the summer, the highlight is The Flight Of the Angel, usually a kid who is sent across a square with wires that look similar to this, and a harness, and an angel costume. Am I in the right ballpark, or is this something else altogether?
Aircraft doors can turn out to be a life-or-death matter.
From AIR DISASTERS: SEASON 9: EPISODE 1: FATAL TRANSMISSION:
A small airport with intersecting runways and no control tower. A mysterious transmission that may have steered a plane into danger. And a malfunctioning air stair door that turned a survivable accident into one of the worst runway disasters in American history. See how small failures culminated in a tragedy that took the lives of everyone on board United Express Flight 5925 at Quincy Regional Airport in Illinois on November 19, 1996. Then follow the investigation that highlighted the importance of listening to preflight safety briefings.
******
The lesson to be learned is to note where the emergency exits are. Not one person on Flight 5925 thought of them until it was too late.
I think posting photos of plates full of delicious-looking Chinese food in the middle of Lent, when some of us are trying to mortify our appetites, is a tad mean.
Aren’t there two solemnities coming up this week? That’s what my Novus Ordo calendar says anyway.
Mmmmm, Chinese…
Fr. Z:
Years ago, didn’t Delta stand for Don’t Ever Leave The Airport?
Fr. Z., can you share the name of those dishes?
“But Father! But Father!” Isn’t there another airline servicing the Dane Cty. airport besides Delta??

I wonder if one of the reasons for the rapidly increasing number of saints is that commercial airline travel has led many people to take Purgatory and praying for the dead much more seriously. They say there are no atheists in foxholes — I bet there aren’t too many in long DMV lines or major airports with snowstorms in the offing.
