"This is your Captain: Our plane has crashed!"

... pandemonium ensued, followed by a free-for-all the escape the firey wreckage. I lived to tell the tale.

Okay, so the sequence of events for my return trip back from Calgary didn't quite happen like that, but the fact is, our plane did crash.

We had just backed away from the terminal when all of a sudden, there was a complete loss of power. We were calmly informed that due to the outage, we would have to return to the terminal and repeat the start up sequence all over again. That's right, our plane crashed and had to be reboot. Well that would have been okay, as the airline industry is laden with protocols for our safety. What is unsettling is the fact that the reboot attempt resulted in another error, and the solution was to reboot again?! WTF. Were they using an operating system that shouldn't be used in a mission critical vehicle?!

The kicker
The pilot returns to the airwaves: "Thanks for your patience, we had to program the plane." Scary.
