    The black box recording of the last moments of 99.9% of airline flights before a crash have a common thread. The pilot or co-pilot always says, "Ohhhhhh shhhhhhhiiii." They can't get to the final "t" since they're blown to smithereens by then though.

    Poor bastards.

    Depends on the level of detail, I suppose. They didn't specify that.
