Better hope it is not a Candian pilot
"The amount of fuel that had been loaded was miscalculated because of a confusion as to the calculation of the weight of fuel using the metric system, which had recently replaced the imperial system for use with the 767."

I like this sentence describing the landing without power (therefore making no noise to warn people on the ground
Captain Pearson would later remark that the boys were so close that he could see the looks of sheer terror on their faces as they realized that a commercial airliner was bearing down on them.

Indeed winner, this current situation is a Chorus mark2, the successful sale of Virgin is like when Chorus holders were waiting for the ComCom to rule on the copper price(Hopefully not that level of incompetence here) Chorus went to $1.30 and is now a steady $4 in a two and a half year timeframe, we will look back on this period in the same light in a shorter timeframe. PS-When I say successful sale of Virgin, I mean just getting rid of the mutt not at a premium price although that would be ideal.
Yes a healthy reminder that even good financial analysis is always going to appear be trampled when the market is in rampant stampede mode either up or down. Traders who rely predominantly on financial analysis will be adjusting methodologies one might think. Eventually stampedes peter out in most cases but Teflon underpants are recommended for those of tender disposition. Not holding but getting interested.
