“Well that’s not too typical, I’d like to point that out,” Calhoun tried to explain.
“How is it untypical?” Asked Dawe
“Well there are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this happen. I don’t want people to think planes aren’t safe.” replied Calhoun
“Was this plane safe?” Dawe continued
“Well I was thinking more about the other ones.”
“The ones that are safe?”
“The ones where the doors don’t fall off.”
“If this one wasn’t safe, why was it flying around at tens of thousands of feet?”
“I’m not saying it wasn’t safe. It just perhaps isn’t quite as safe as the other ones.”
“Why?” Dawe said with a puzzled expression.
“Well some of them are built so that the doors don’t fall off at all.”
“Wasn’t this one built so that the doors wouldn’t fall off?”
“Obviously not.”
“How do you know?”
“Well, because the door fell out!” Calhoun, starting to sound a little exasperated.
