Rightly so - he should have been invoking auto-pilot at that point.

We'll probably never hear, but I would be interested to find out what it was that triggered the outburst.

The 149 passengers were taken to nearby hotels as the airline arranged for a replacement crew to be flown to Shannon to take the aircraft on to Heathrow, where it landed at 4.15pm on Monday, eight hours behind schedule.

An eight hour delay - that's not bad, considering it's Air Canada. They're my airline of choice if I don't want to get there on time (and pay more and have my luggage lost).

The real question is why aren't we all doing this. I think I could make room on my calander for a bit of face time with God. I wouldn't even care which one.
