I'm grateful for "Malfunction"! It has everything I love about 911 in one episode: fun calls, firefam humor (Bobby's secret figure skating past), personal struggles (Henren's fertility struggles and Eddie's grief), and the episode title theme woven perfectly though every scene. It starts on a hilarious note with the ice show call ("I haven't seen this much blood on the ice since a squirrel crawled in the Zamboni") and ends with one of the most devastating scenes of the entire show, Hen's ambulance collision (seriously, why didn't Aisha will ALL THE AWARDS for season 3???). I love the big, dramatic episodes too, like the tsunami arc and May Day, but there's a special place in my heart for ones that have a perfect balance of calls and main character storylines, humor and angst.

Bobby- “Okay, for everyone who isn’t fired, I will not be cooking today. We’re having a special guest chef at lunch.”
Buck- “uh, no pasta Thursday?”
Bobby- “Not today.”
I always laugh SO FUCKING HARD AT THIS SCENE.

I FEEL SO NORMAL about these upcoming 911 episodes. I doubt I've ever normaled more, in a normal fashion of being really absolutely 100% fine. Here, look at me being fine:
Tumblr media
See! Totally normal, me. In fact, you should call me Norma. Done, I've just changed my name, it suits me so much better.
Oh, why am I NORMAL?
Well. It just might be that it's confirmed that episode S704 of the series is called Buck, bothered and and bewildered. (We'll return to this title.)
So the focus of the episode is obviously on Buck. Buck, being bothered and bewildered. (Yes, we'll return to this title.)
They've also released the synopsis of the episode, and apparently Buck's arc has to do with him "growing envious as Eddie forms a close bond with someone else".
The released photos from that episode appear to hint that Eddie's new close bond is with Tommy, another firefighter. So it seems apparent that Buck fears that he's being replaced, and is losing Eddie.
Now, let's dive into that episode title. Buck, bothered and bewildered.
The reference appears pretty obvious. Bewitched, bothered and bewildered is a song, famously performed by the god disguised as human, whom people called Ella Fitzgerald.
It's a love song. It's a love song of jealous love. How fitting for an episode which focuses on Buck, watching Eddie form a close bond with someone who isn't Buck.
Here's a verse from the song:
Love's the same old sad sensation
Lately I've not slept a wink
Since this half-pint imitation
Put me on the blink
Who could this "imitation" be, replacing Buck in Eddie's life? Tommy, maybe?
Btw I'm not sure how well people know the expression "put on a blink", so here's a definition:
"On the blink:
to be malfunctioning or not operating correctly.
typically, applied to a machine with complex parts.
when applied to a person, it implies they are in a state of agitation or confusion.
Source: theidioms.com"
And even more fittingly, what I've concluded from the promo is that in the episode Buck maybe becomes so angry/jealous/frustrated, that he kinda loses it during a basketball game, and causes an injury from being too rough.
So this "half-pint imitation" indeed appears to make him go "out of order".
Btw, the song Bewitched, bothered and bewildered also very dramatically ends with the narrator swearing that they've now fallen out of love, "bewitched, bothered and bewildered NO MORE".
Pffft. Sure, Buck.
Curious... How another season 7 episode.... Is another old, famous love song, btw.
"You don't know me" by Ray Charles sings about pining. For. A. Friend.
No, you don't know the one who dreams of you each night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you, I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
No, you don't know me
Yes. I'm so normal.

911 Spoilers Season 3: You’ve been warned. 😅 Buddie Rewatch
Episode 8-9
Episode 8: Malfunction
Ice Rink Disaster:  Eddie calmly searching, while buck is like a baby dear, unable to stay up on ice. Eddie and Buck on finding finger duty. They find all the fingers. Buck finds 3, and Eddie found 1.
 We learn about Bobby’s ice-skating past. The entire 118 finding this new information amusing. Eddie judging Bobby and stating he thought he was more into hockey. Bobby taking the comment and throwing it back. Bobby walks away as everyone is left visibly confused. Chim has my favorite facial reaction. Hen a close second.
Eddie and Buck are standing near each other with the same confused look. The height difference is prominent. Buck suggesting the google photos later, Eddie just nodding his head in agreement.
Buck almost slips on the ice again, but catches himself. Eddie rolls his eyes at Buck’s clumsiness.
Eddie is in the middle of another fight. He’s fighting against someone arguably twice his size. He’s focused, not holding back, letting out all his anger. He is getting paid for the fight, wants more of these fights. Passively mentions Lena gave him the advise that he needed an outlet. The promotor reminding him he’s not invisible, rules apply to him too.
 Buck is pulling something out of his jeep when Eddie pulls in with a brand-new pick-up truck. Buck walks towards Eddie to ask if the truck is a rental. Eddie admits to impulse buying because his last truck the AC went out. Buck is the one to point out it was an impulse buy. Eddie tries to use Chris as an excuse.
Buck has a light banter about Eddie needing more shifts in the future to make payments.  Eddie changing the subject to ask what Buck is carrying. They playfully run into the fire house.
Scene cuts to Bobby’s morning brief. Buck and Eddie are standing so close together. Practically shoulder to shoulder, with smirks on their faces.  Buck bites his lip and Eddie moves out of the way, loudly singing to catch everyone’s attention as he pulls out a life-size cut out of young Bobby as an ice skater.
Buck being extra silly admits he’s the one that got the photo from his old partner. Eddie standing there all proud, makes fun of Bobby’s hair. Hen appears late from dropping Denny off at school, at this moment you can see how proud Eddie is with his hands on his hips and his head bopping up and down and Buck looking towards his direction and back at Hen. They really love their little prank.
Athena cooks dinner for the 118. Eddie and Buck sit next to each other as they eat. Bobby stops Buck from adding salt to Athena's salt. Eddie practically begging Athena cook more for them. Buck trying to stay neutral and says he likes both Athena's and Bobby's food equally.
Self Driving Car; Eddie and Buck are working together to move debris and move the victims.
Maddie, Chimney, and Buck are hanging out at Buck's place. They are talking about how weird Hen is being. Buck points out that he thinks Eddie is also being weird. Maddie points out how quickly information spreads in the 118. Chimney asking Buck for further clarification on why he think Eddie is being weird. Maddie turning towards them with an annoyed look.
If I wanted to be real delusional I would say Maddie turned around at the mention of Eddies name because she has been a Buddie shipper from day one. That is not what happened, but the way the clip is edited, it is so easy to pretend.
Eddie is fighting again. He's throwing elaborate punches and kicks. Really doing damage on his opponent. He kicks the guy in the face. The man has a seizure and isn't breathing. Eddie calls 911 and everyone attempts to flee the scene. Eddie leaves his opponent sat up and airways clear giving him the best chances when help arrives.
Lena's station is the one to respond to the call. She is the one to make the connection that someone helped the victim and gave him the best odds. She knew almost instantly that Eddie was involved.
She finds Eddie and confronts him about if he was the one that saved the man or the one that almost killed him. Eddie admits too being both. Eddie looks tired, upset, and annoyed at the entire situation.
She hands Eddie her firefighter jacket, Eddie confused by this, she explains its’s to give him a cover, to keep him out of jail, so that she doesn’t have to bail him out.
Lena is now interrogating Eddie outside. Asking him if how long he’s been fighting. Eddie says he’s been fighting a lot because it pays good money. Lena sees thru that bullshit and knows that the thing that was suppose to be an outlet, has become a very unsafe obsession. Eddie does not want to listen to Lena’s concerns. He’s very dismissive.
Eddie walks into the fire house, Bobby calls him up for a meeting. He sees Lena walking down the stairs and is pissed off at her because he thinks she snitched.
Lena puts him in his place and establishes they are not friends, because Eddie is too one sided.
Eddie and Bobby have a one on one, discussing how this fighting thing is about wanting control. Bobby discloses that Lena came over to defend Eddie, Eddie feels guilty for fighting with her. The conversation leads to how Shannon asked for a divorce and Eddie is still angry with her. He is trying to fight off the tears, but ends up crying in front of Bobby.
Piss Robot: Buck is the one to connect that the robot must have freaked out because the victim peed on it. Eddie judging the victim for peeing on the robot.
So, looking closely at the scene, it seems like Eddie wasn’t there for most of the filming. There is a random stand by that is obviously suppose to be Eddie in a few shots. A lot of the shots Eddie is he is completely by himself. This is the explanation as to why we do not see a lot of Buck and Eddie team work like we would normally have. I will say if it wasn’t for this rewatch I would have never noticed this discrepancy.
Hen’s Ambulance accident; This scene is so hard to watch. Hen makes me feel every emotion of despair, guilt, and sadness she is feeling.
Buck and Eddie are standing near each other restocking the engine, when they hear Chimney on the radio announce they just got into an accident.
I don't know how I didn't notice this before but Eddie is also not really in this scene either, they have another stand by and a lot of solo shots. So there really isn’t much to break down outside of the fact that everyone in the 118, is sympathetic towards what Hen is processing and going thru. Hen on the ground being held by Athena, really broke me.
Episode 9: Fall out
Episode 9: Fall out
Meteorite: Buck and Eddie walk in the building together. Buck is the one to find the meteorite and wants to grab it, but is chastised by Bobby and Chim.
Buck knowing about the one other time a person has ever been hit with a meteorite and letting the victim know she’s special. The victim is confused as to why Buck knows this information. Eddie being the one to explain that Buck has become a little obsessed with natural disasters ever since the tsunami. Buck chuckling after Eddie’s explanation.
We meet the departments therapist Frank, who has sessions with Hen, Maddie, and Eddie.
 Eddie discussing how in moments he should be happy and should be proud, he doesn’t necessarily feel those emotions. Frank telling him there is no right way to process trauma.
Eddie making it a point to say that he does not want to be in therapy, He would much rather be at home with Chris, but that he is there because he doesn’t want Chris to turn out like him. Eddie was at the verge of tears when talking about how Chris felt the need to hide his pain, to make Eddie feel good. Eddie never wants Chris to feel like he has to do that ever again.
Eddie vocalizing how he almost killed a man.
Buck is asking Bobby when they should expect to hear some news on Hen’s investigation.
Eddie mentioning running into Hen on his way to Franks. That she seemed okay, but was sad.
Buck asking Eddie how therapy with Frank is going and how he himself hasn’t seen Frank in a while.
Eddie not looking a Buck as he says the therapy is going well, but that they aren’t really clicking. Chim offering Rosemary, the therapist he saw after the stabbing. Buck chiming in to ask if that is the therapist he slept with. Bobby quick to say no, that therapist was fired.
Eddie judging Buck for sleeping with his therapist. Buck trying to be nonchalant about the situations, saying he was going thru a phase, turning the conversation back on Eddie and asking him wasn’t he just going thru a phase. Eddie becoming uncomfortable and shifting in his seat.
So in this moment, I don’t blame Eddie or Chimney for making jokes and judging Buck for sleeping with the therapist.  They obviously do not know the full extent of what happened, and would likely have reacted differently if they had known. Bobby is the only one in that room to fully understand what happened and how that situation was wrong. Buck himself has not even processed that moment other than he was Buck the player and addicted to sex. He never even thinks to blame the therapist.
Really wish the writers approached this differently, but I was happy to hear she was fired.
Eddie talks about the drama in his household when his sisters were applying to college. Buck not remembering what he wrote for his college paper. Chim making fun of him and implying Maddie wrote it for him.
Maddie telling Josh, how he doesn’t want to experience Buck singing Eye of the Tiger while doing one arm pushups. I on the other hand would love to see this.
Buck telling Maddie she is a bad ass for preforming a finger thoracostomy. He tries to comfort and reassure Maddie.
Eddie and Christopher are at Buck’s place. They seem to have just finished dinner and are cleaning about while talking about what happened to Maddie. Eddie is lowkey a little dressed up with a button up shirt.
Buck takes the lesson Maddie learned about not being able to help someone who does want to be helped and applies it to what is happened with Eddie. Eddie catching on quickly to what buck is suggesting and tells him to not go there. The entire tone of this scene starts to shift.
Buck is apologizing for not being there for not being there for Chris or Eddie. How he was so selfish for focusing on the lawsuit. Eddie is quick to tell him that they’ve moved passed that. Buck telling him that he hasn’t. How he should have been there. Buck is moving closer towards Eddie. Eddie stays pressed against the counter watching Buck as he speaks.
Eddie and Buck having a light banter about how Buck could have talked some sense into Eddie and stopped him from buying a new truck and Eddie correcting Buck by telling  him he would have suggested a more expensive truck.
Eddie telling Buck that he doesn’t have to beat himself up over the past. Buck in a semi flirty tone says “Why because you would rather do it.” Eddie sightly confused by his comment. Buck states that he knows Eddie is not being honest at the moment. That if therapy wasn’t for Eddie, but the ring was. That Eddie must have wanted to punch Buck.
Eddie stating, he wouldn’t punch Buck because he’s on blood thinners. Buck laughing and getting closer to Eddie and stating “Want to go for the title?” The scene cuts to Buck and Eddie playing a video game with Chris in the middle.
The writers where evil for this scene. This scene should have ended with Buck and Eddie making out. They obviously wanted to. I’m going to say that the only reason they didn’t kiss is because Chris was in the other room.  There is no heterosexual explanation for this scene. It was gay!
Radioactive Truck: Eddie and buck checking on the driver. They are trying get him unpinned. The driver becoming conscious and telling the about the Cobalt 60. Bobby sending Eddie and Buck out of the tunnel.
Buck and Eddie are outside of the tunnel wondering where the nitrogen is. Buck wanting to go back in but receiving orders from Bobby to stay out. Buck being the first one with the nitrogen hose and Eddie right behind him running in to fight the flames.
Eddie approaching Buck and Chimney to say the coast is clear and the fall out will be minimal, Chim pointing out that maybe not for all of them. They all look towards Bobby as he’s being decontaminated.
Hen narrating about pain and how things don’t work out how you plan. Eddie looking at a photo of Chris and Shannon.
The 118 giving Hen a big hug for her welcome back. Eddie and Buck being the most vocal in this hug, They hug again before the alarms go off.

LaKisha Wilson, 22 (USA 2014)
(Note: some sources use the capitalization LaKisha and some don’t. I used both in this profile of her case.)
Tumblr media
Lakisha Wilson was the loving mother of 2-year-old Antonio. She was pregnant with her second baby in 2014 and ended up scheduled for an abortion at an Ohio abortion facility called Preterm.
She was told that she was 19 weeks pregnant, but it was later discovered that she was actually closer to 23 weeks. Either the abortion facility had been incompetent enough to misjudge the baby’s age by so much or Lakisha had been lied to. 19 weeks would put her just before the state’s legal limit for abortion in 2014, meaning that it would benefit Preterm to convince Lakisha that her baby was younger. It wouldn’t be the first time an abortion facility lied to a client to coerce them into an abortion. Lakisha wasn’t a criminal and there’s no evidence that she have agreed to an abortion if she knew her baby was past the legal limit.
Lakisha lost blood and went into shock. Records show that she was not breathing for 28 minutes.
By the time someone finally called 911, they arrived to another problem. All the operating rooms were on the third floor of the building and the elevator was broken. When paramedics finally managed to get the malfunctioning elevator to work enough to transport Lakisha, they found that the abortion facility was even less equipped for emergencies than they thought.
The only oxygen mask that Preterm had was a pediatric size (which raises some disturbing questions about how young their clients are). The little mask wasn’t giving LaKisha enough oxygen.
Unlike all of the staff at Preterm, paramedics were equipped, trained and capable of resuscitating LaKisha. She desperately needed to be intubated, but the already malfunctioning elevator was so small that they couldn’t lay LaKisha flat (which is critical for intubation). LaKisha was rushed to the hospital and put on life support.
At some point in the past LaKisha had signed a form stating that she wanted to be an organ donor, but even this selfless act would be used to thwart her chance of justice. An organ procurement company obtained the documentation needed to harvest her organs before the autopsy, despite the objections of LaKisha’s family (who were afraid that the loss of major organs would impair a forensic investigation).
Despite the loss of multiple organs before the autopsy was even started, it confirmed that LaKisha died from abortion. She bled internally and suffered from brain damage due to cardiopulmonary arrest.
And what about Lisa Perriera, the abortionist who mutilated, neglected and killed LaKisha? She was given an award by the Physicians for Reproductive Choice at a posh ceremonial New York City dinner in 2015 for enduring “adversity” during the investigation of LaKisha Wilson’s completely preventable death. She transferred to an abortion facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – a place that never heard of LaKisha Wilson – where she continued to abort babies and place women’s lives at risk, all while publicly advertising abortion as a “safe” procedure.
Instead of being held accountable for killing LaKisha Wilson, Perriera was basically promoted. The Preterm facility also remained open and later killed Tia Archeiva Parks.

Happy holidays and happy 911 Gift Exchange to the lovely @julianbaashir ! I hope you enjoy this silly firefam fluff! And a huge thank you to @paranoidbean for setting this whole thing up!
And That's What You Missed At The 118
(firefam) (buddie) (1.4k words)
cabin pressure inspired firefam fluff with a little buddie for fun!
No one at the station is stupid enough to say the q-word. If someone was an idiot, though, it wouldn’t be an inaccurate way to describe the shift. They’re five hours in, and the single call they’ve gotten was for a malfunctioning smoke detector. 
And Buck. Is. Bored. 
And about to make it everyone’s problem. 
He’s got a plan.
Step 1: Gather the team.
“Chimney! How’s my favorite brother-in-law?” Buck asks cheerfully, dropping to the sofa. 
“Depends,” Chimney says, raising an eyebrow and looking up from his book. “What are you about to ask me to do?”
Buck holds a hand to chest, mock affronted. “What have I ever asked you for anything?”
“I seem to remember a couch that was occupied for an exceptionally long time,” Chimney replies. 
Buck waves his hand. “Aside from that.”
“Well–”
“Anyway!” Buck interrupts. “That’s not important. What is important is that you grab Hen and anyone else you can find and meet me in the kitchen in twenty.”
“Pretty sure Hen’s still drowning in paperwork, Buckaroo,” Chimney says. 
“And that, my oh so handsome and intelligent brother-in-law, is why you’re going to be the one to get her.” Buck bounces up from the couch and grins. 
“You know,” Chimney calls after him as he heads towards the stairs, “Maddie and I aren’t actually married.”
“Not yet!” Buck tosses brightly over his shoulder. 
Step 2: Find an ally.
“Hey, Probie! Good to have you back on A-Shift!” Buck claps Ravi on the shoulder. 
“Dude, I graduated like three months ago. I know you know my name,” Ravi says flatly. 
Buck bites down on a grin. “Ravi,” he says imploringly, “I need your help.”
“Mm,” Ravi hums. “Nope!”
“C’mon,” Buck whines, “It’ll be fun! I just need you to distract everyone for like two minutes.”
Ravi pats him on his shoulder. “Should’ve started with ‘Ravi’ instead of ‘Probie’, then,” he shrugs. 
“I said it was good to have you back!” Buck protests. 
Ravi leans back in his chair and stretches. “Good to be back,” he grins. “Did I hear kitchen in twenty?”
“Yeah,” Buck grouses, “but it’d be more fun if you were in on it.”
“Nah, I’ll wait for the surprise,” Ravi deadpans. 
Step 3: Find a different ally.
Eddie glances up from the journal he’s writing in before Buck gets a chance to say anything.
“Oh, I know that expression,” he says fondly. “What are we about to get up to?”
“See,” Buck says, not even trying to keep from smiling, “I knew there was a reason you’re my favorite.”
Eddie pushes away from the table and gives Buck his full attention. “About time you admitted it,” he says. 
Buck feels himself go a little pink, but ignores it in favor of explaining The Plan. Which is really quite simple. And maybe less of a plan and more of a game. Anyway, it’s called–
“The Traveling Lemon,” Eddie interrupts with a grin. “I remember. You want me to distract everyone while you hide it?”
The urge to press a smacking kiss to Eddie’s lips in thanks for his brilliance is… surprisingly strong. Buck will deal with that some other time. 
“Got it in one, I have no idea why I bothered with Ravi,” Buck says. 
“Nobody’s got your back like I do,” Eddie says. It sounds like a joke, but damn if it isn’t true. 
“Hell yeah,” Buck says, bumping Eddie’s fist. 
Eddie nods at the door. “Go ahead, I’ll keep them all occupied.”
Step 4: Hide the lemon.
The game is simple. Hide a lemon in plain sight, and send the rest of the team looking for it. It’ll keep them occupied for an hour, at least, and Buck will get the satisfaction of making everyone’s day a little brighter. It’s the perfect plan, and it just needs the perfect hiding spot to go along with it. 
Buck pulls the lemon he’d snagged from the kitchen out of his pocket and sets off to find the perfect place. 
He steers clear of the loft, where he hears Eddie telling a story he’s heard before, one that Buck knows will give him almost six minutes exactly to hide the lemon. 
The locker room is his first choice, but the glass walls (which, by the way, he’s been at the 118 for six years and he still doesn’t get that) rule it out. The bunk room is too obvious, and the team would catch him on the way to Hen’s temporary office. Which leaves one of the trucks, or the gym area. 
Or something even better, Buck realizes as he glances up at the stairs. They’re open to the bottom, and the gap between the steps and the frame is just wide enough…
He stashes the lemon and jogs up to the kitchen. 
“The lemon,” Buck announces dramatically, “Is in play.”
Half the team groans, but Buck knows his team well enough to know that competitiveness will get the best of all of them. 
Step 5: Wait for someone to find the lemon, then return to Step 4.
Or, Buck thinks three minutes later when the station alarm sounds, accept that the EMS gods have it out for you. 
“It was a good try, Buckaroo,” Hen says, patting him on the shoulder. 
“Yeah,” Chim says with a friendly shove towards the engine. “We can pick it back up when we get back to the station.”
Ravi drops Buck’s helmet onto his head as they jump on the truck. “I’m almost sorry I didn’t agree to help in the first place,” he says, grinning. “I’m sure someone will find it when we get back, though.”
Buck drops into his seat next to Eddie and goes to remove the helmet. 
Eddie grabs his wrist. “Careful, Buck, you already tempted the EMS gods once today,” he smirks. 
“Oh come on, you don’t believe in the EMS gods,” Buck whines. 
Eddie shrugs. “Fine, take it off, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
“Alright boys,” Hen calls from the front, “that’s enough banter. We’ve got a serious situation.”
The atmosphere in the truck immediately sobers. 
“Cat up a tree on Sunset,” Hen deadpans. 
The entire truck breaks out laughing, and doesn’t quiet until they reach the scene. 
Step 6: Rescue a cat (that probably doesn’t actually need rescuing).
Ravi’s operating the ladder, Eddie’s climbing it, and that leaves Buck to comfort the distraught cat owner. 
The young woman sniffs and rubs her eyes with her sleeve. “It’s just… Honky’s not supposed to go outside at all, but I thought he’d be fine in the backyard.”
“Don’t worry,” Buck says, “Eddie’s got him. He’s the best in the business.”
The woman looks up from her shoes. “I’m sorry for wasting your time,” she says quietly. 
“Hey, no waste!” Buck says cheerfully. “We’re here to help, that’s what we do.”
“Thanks,” she says with a hesitant smile. 
From the tree, Eddie calls down to them. “Got him! We’ll be on the ground in no time.”
The woman heaves a sigh of relief. She stares at Eddie for a moment before looking back at Buck. Or, actually, her eyes track a little above him. 
“Can I ask you a question?” she says, suddenly far less hesitant. 
“Sure,” Buck says with an easy grin. 
“Do– uh, do firefighters usually have lemons taped to their helmets?”
Buck’s jaw drops. 
“Told you someone would find it!” Ravi calls cheerfully from the truck. 
Step 7: Find and delete every single picture taken during Step 6. 
Within half an hour, Buck gets a text from Bobby. 
Is this what you all get up to when I’m away?
The attached picture is of him in the truck, laughing, eyes glued to Eddie, with a lemon taped to the top of his helmet. 
So, okay, maybe he needs a Step 8. 
Step 8: Return the lemon to play. 
“Nice job, Buckley,” Eddie says, leaning against the railing next to him. 
“Not going to look for the lemon?” Buck asks, bumping his shoulder. 
Eddie grins. “Oh I know exactly where it is. Top of the fridge, in the bowl of bananas.”
“Damn, Diaz,” Buck whistles, “You’ve got an eye for this game.”
“Nah,” Eddie says, “I just know you. Still bored?”
“Nope,” Buck says happily as Chimney darts past them, head on a swivel, only to run directly into Hen in the loft, “mission accomplished.”
Hen and Chimney both dissolve into giggles. 
Eddie looks at him with that soft expression he always seems to be wearing these days. “Mission accomplished,” he agrees.

911 Hiatus Rewatch:
3x08- “Malfunction”

Reminder that AP is full commie to enforce the narrative but here’s the summary:
Pilot ejected and called 911. Because that’s….uhhhh…pRoToCaL?!?
Pilot claims aircraft malfunction because you know…the NY Post (maybe Times) claim of being do to weather was so laughable that no one believed it so they had to go back to malfunction.
And even better…his ejection and inability to track the plane is a feature. Not a glitch.
Oh man. Good times. Got to love fiction writing.
