No, it didn't, moron..


No, it didn't what, Bertie? Really, if you're going to argue, try to
state your case instead of just flapping your gums. Otherwise you
just look stupid, which is probably not your purpose.

A flight steward, a student pilot, got into the cockpit about one
minute before it ran out of fuel. If he'd gotten in there an hour
before, all sorts of possibilities open up... including perhaps
reviving the pilots (although I'm not clear if that's possible...
anyone know at 34,000' ?)
