When investigated, there were three sets of tire tracks. Forward, back up, and forward again, just to make certain.

B.S.
Once the first run over is complete, the average FA crew in a van has already moved on to a 20 minute discussion on what their cat's are doing 3 time zones away along with analyzing the latest episode of the Kardashians.

Must be why Delta crew are always blabbering away on their 20+ y/o junker's, nothing to interrupt.

Last night in Colorado:
"Denver center, Delta xxxx we just had a meteorite dissipate in front of us. Looks like about 20,000."
"Delta xxxx, say again?"
"We just had a meteorite dissipate in front of us at 20,000 ft"
"Uh ok"
The captain and I were laughing our asses off. Shooting star, douche bags!

Technically it was a meteoroid, unless it contacted the surface.

"Shooting star" means you spent too much time watching Disney instead of "Cosmos" as a kid.
