What, exactly, do they mean by "fly sideways"?
I met the guy a couple years ago and talked with him for a few minutes. He seemed willing to push the envelope, but this sounds like way more than I would've expected. The accusation sounds a bit unrealistic.
The bad thing.... No make that the good thing... or..maybe..whatever.. Simply put: A is mush harder to do than B.
I met the pilot of the plane that this happened to and he told me that he was barely able to recover the plane so he texted his wife his bitcoin wallet addresses passwords during the process, expecting the worse.
