An unreported quote

In 2002 the Complete and Total Loser worked in a branch of a major news agency. Some months after September 11 of the previous year, there was a

Andreas Lubitz

minor incident at the international airport in the Loser's home city. A pilot, angry at the then overly stringent, since relaxed, rules about what you can take on airplanes, was angry at having an object that meant something to him confiscated by airport security.
The story that ran said he had said something threatening and been taken into custody because of it, the flight delayed for several hours as a substitute was found. 
What the pilot said was never reported, but the reporter who covered the incident told the Loser what it was and it was this: "I could crash this plane in my underwear."
That is, as we've all been painfully reminded, to true. 

"We will never forget her"

That's what a Pittsburgh Fringe Festival Facebook page post said about Emily Selke, who helped found the organization.

Emily Selke, one of the 149 Germanwings crash victims.

Selke was one of the 150 victims in the March 24, 2015 Germanwings crash in the French Alps, apparently due to a disturbed copilot's actions. She was 22 and traveling with her mother. 
The Complete and Total Loser had friends and acquaintances who died much too young and he knows that it's true: They will never forget her. He also knows, however, that the memory most have of Selke will fade over time and that its bearers will feel guilty for that even as they're remembering her.
