The storm's coming in.

And you can see it coming in.

And so the guy comes out and he literally starts banging on the engine.

I mean, he doesn't pull out any tools or anything.

And then there's another thing you're forgetting.

They pipe up with this one.

We're overweight.

Oh, yeah.

somebody's going to have to volunteer a bag.

No, no, they said we'll pull some luggage off.

They said we're a couple hundred pounds overweight for takeoff and landing, whatever.

So we need to pull baggage out of this fucking plane.

And I remember it very clearly because they said, look, either somebody's going to have to volunteer and say, remove my bags and we'll give you a voucher for a cocktail, or we're just going to open the hatch and pull shit out.

And it's funny, we had a lot of gamblers because everyone was like, let it ride.

There's 25 people on this plane, and I got a 1 in 25 chance it ain't going to be me.

I'll take the odds.

So they just randomly, but they announced we're overweight.

Then there was smoke billowing out of the engine, the left side engine.

They banged it.

Well, actually, there wasn't a side.
