A Sharp Bong

We would find it easy to understand why you, dear listener, may initially find our aviation stories here on Nonsense worrisome.  And if you listen to only the first couple minutes of those segments, we wouldn’t fault you for postponing upcoming travel by air.  But we promise that when you power through and listen to the entire segment, you will find these stories ultimately tell just how safe and resilient modern travel by air has become.  This week we tell another one of those stories.

But, as always, before that, we’ve got some headlines from the week.  And amazingly this week there’s only ONE headline involving X that we felt necessary to cover.  Somehow though, good ol’ X still manages to dominate 50% of our headlines for the week.  Amazing.
