Plot

A plane is headed towards Hawaii. It is believed a bomb is on board. Fuel is running low and the captain is not sure whether he has enough time to jettison the luggage. Airport manager David Montgomery has to decide whether to call the plane back or let it proceed to Hawaii.[3]

Cast

gollark: Basically just "Jesus is great and all, fill out this worksheet on all the great things he did".
gollark: Religion lessons at school last year were on Chrisitanity, and taught by someone who... is Christian, so that wasn't very good.
gollark: PDF is really just not a good format for anything but scanned documents or stuff you only expect to be printed.
gollark: <@!249056455552925697> Why would you try and convert everyone to PDF? That's sick!
gollark: > seeing ads on the internet
