AFAIK, the primary objective of pilots when talking to passengers in situations like this is not to be 100% honest, but to avoid a panic. In this particular instance, he might also have tried to protect the flight attendant or avoid persona

As a parent, I have found that raising a child without risk, fear and the occasional smaller painful accident is not possible. My daughter is 4, and we can not convince her that something she does is dangerous until she has empirically prov

Just this morning I listened to a radio interview with pianist Igor Levit. It was excruciating. He had to think for seconds before every third word in a sentence, creating awkward pauses, and when he had finally finished an answer, he had o

That may be true, but it is still much more convenient and anonymous to just give someone you trust some money, especially if you live in an apartment, or have small children. I would be extremely hesitant to grow cannabis on our balcony.
