Can't believe this isn't on here somewhere yet...

Apparently an A380 is a little wider than a certain Air France crew thought... unfortunately (for them) it is, and fortunately (for the occupants of the Comair flight) no one was injured... I don't know how!!

To long up-lines and (slightly) shorter down-lines!

	Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.
