Back in my childhood we'd hear rumors of "unfortunate accidents." Many would happen out by the blast fence. At Eastern Airlines, Alligator Alley. Pan Am pilots might have unfortunately left their luggage on the ramp with a bag tag that routed it to KLIA...

Now, I don't condone sending another pilot's luggage to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, but I do understand why it used to happen :-)

... every tear drop that falls from an OOBWS over SS gives an Atlanta Angel wings.
