I dunno but I was on a flight that made a go-around once. Coming into LAX, we're down low, everything seems normal. Wait, theres the runway, I've flown alot and it seems like we're not low enough. It also seems like we're going REALLY fast... Then the power comes on, the nose comes up and the pilot tells us he's "gonna try that again". Four words to inspire confidence...

Just require that all explosives be separated from their detonators and/or timers, and that pressurized containers be stored outside the pressurized cabin. Y'know, basic safety rules. -- Jim
