Sometimes life seems like a poorly written television series.

Have you seen The Matrix Resurrections? It seems just like something The Analyst would do to us as a joke.

This feels most like Breaking Bad where Walt’s actions cascade to two planes crashing over his house and the debris landing in his pool. Which I think we can all agree is generally not a poorly written show.

That’s fair. I loved Breaking Bad.

I was just picturing some scene with a lawyer sitting up at night at his home, going “How in the world am I going to prove my case against Boeing! I’ve got nothing and the trial is TOMORROW!” Just then, a Boeing emergency slide crashes into his window.

Shame to hear about the lawyer falling on his own knife 6 times.

It was clearly self inflicted.....6 times......the day before the next hearing.

Hopefully this isn't the airplane equivalent of being mailed a finger

Wouldn't this be the equivalent of the mob mailing their own finger?

That's a hardcore threat there. Mailing your own finger clearly shows that you don't care about hurting anyone even yourself it means sending a message.

Oh wow! Something beneficial to his case just randomly washed up at his home? God must be rewarding him for being such an honest lawyer.

To be fair, with the number of parts falling off those planes it was a statistical certainty that something was going to wash up at his house!

I imagine his eyes turned into dollar signs and popped out of his head with a "cha-ching" sound when he saw it.
