Received this in a link a while ago.

Subtle as a brick is right. I hope no one is looking up that site to see the progress of a relative's plane.

But what can you put down?

"arrived - nearly"
"crashed"
"almost landed"

"Incident" or summat like that would do.

Talk about breaking the news gently.... tact.... :rolleyes:

"Arrived - In various pieces"

or

"Some smoke damage"

"Found wreckage? Send it here for free gift!"

Nah. I'm sure we've all walked into an airport and seen the odd flight listed as Crashed on the arrivals screens. Wonder if they use Hijacked very often.

Kananga. Are you having a bit of an identity crisis this afternoon?

A slight one. I have been reborn as an 8-legged horse. Go figure.
