(15 minutes)

Can members have a Cliff Notes summary to save them 15 minutes?

It is an interview with a pilot who was bumped from flying one of the (crashed) planes on September 11. All the circumstances and the subsequent thoughts that went through his mind, plus a tribute to the pilot who died.

It gets rather spiritual at the end, so it's not for everybody.

There was a major commuter train crash at Granville, in Sydney, in the late 1970s (many fatalities). I remember reading about a passenger who missed the train (he was running a few minutes late). The carriage he normally rode in was the one that was most impacted and where the most fatalities occurred.

Sheer luck, seemingly small and insignificant incidents, can completely change your future.
