Bill!,
That's a *lovely* example, Bill! (!), and THANKS! for it!
One for the books.
Pass it around, all you folks.
Let's give it a long life too by adding it to the collected sayings of folks

And to "The Gateless Aircraft".
I omit statement of the Case itself, but cut right to the Verse --
Case 1: "Catastrophic Depressurization at 35000 Feet"
Wu-Men's Terse Verse:
Masks fall;
Funnels on ends of plastic tubes.
Ropes, or snakes?
Cabin, full of fog;
Seat-mate-Humanity, Cloud-Hidden!
Draw sweet gas in: The mind Clears.
Cabin, still full of fog.
Two hands: hold mask to mouth with One Hand;
One Hand helps the others.
