Wow, I remember this! Glad you were a-ok. Would love to hear more about your story and your method of egress from that bird.

For those that don't know, LAS to BUR is the best way to get from LA to Vegas (save private) and always has been.

I've been on that Sunday afternoon flight from LAS->BUR many times; with the afternoon flight informally known as the Hangover Express and the morning flight known as the Stripper Express. Good times.

And FWIW, I still prefer FORTRAN over Perl any day...
