A fine comedy actress with a long and varied career. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0824130/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/a10478/the-final-flight-of-united-232-16755928/ Very detailed account of the crash, from the cockpit and flight attendant survivors.

Highly underrated for his heroic actions imo, him and the late Denny Fitch. Before this incident, uncontained engine failure on a plane led to 100% fatality. By keeping calm and going for a controlled crash landing using slow gliding descent (look to Cat for the technical terms!), Haynes and Fitch managed to land the plane and save 185 of the 296 lives on board.

Well.... we were waiting for Ted Knight today in 1986.

Play time was over for Neil Simon on this day 1 year ago, aged 91.

I mean, I won't complain if some of the bed warmers on the list/various deadpools get claimed. But it seems like a lot of people who would be certs for next year are dying ASAP post diagnosis of fatal illnesses, while Bracknell continues to make me question if she ever had cancer to begin with.

The self control of Laura Branigan was taken on this day 15 years ago, aged 52.

Calm before the storm, folks, calm before the storm.
