What goes through your mind as the plane you are on prepares for a crash landing?

Listen as Ric Elias explains from personal knowledge. He was in seat 1D on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. At TED, he tells his story publicly for the first time.

Power of Words

As you watch this video, make sure you read the words on the sign the blind man is using. You will probably want to remember them later in the video. Best view is at the 18 second mark.

This video shows us how important our choice of words can be.

An Awesome Proposal

This is definitely an over the top marriage proposal!

Unfortunately, the person who taped it has bad nerves or something. Lots of camcorder jiggle. Still worth watching.

Know of any really neat proposals, whether your own or a friend’s? Share in the comments.

I watched Air Farce quite regularly years ago, and my son also became a fan. I once surprised my son with a visit to a live taping of the show.

Roger Abbott, who help form Air Farce almost 40 years ago, recently died after a 14-year battle with leukemia. He was 64.

Another Love Story

I am a real sucker for these, and this is probably my new favourite love story.
