    “I’m actually quite fine with this—way better than guessing if there’s enough air traffic controllers on any amount of sleep availble to prevent me from crashing into someone,” said pilot Hank Tompkins before watching in horror as one of the Alaska Mushlines sleds somehow exploded in a ball of fire in the distance. “Goddamnit they’re still working with Boeing?”
