I've noticed the spate of plane landing gear problems over the past week and am wondering what, if any, symbolism might be involved.

anyway, wonder what deals are being made… and which ones where the wheels have or are coming off… change of plans, though if there was some symbolism of sorts, it might be that something is going to implement a landing regardless, maybe they will have no choice but to continue, hope its not Iran.
I was in an instant absolutely horrified and elated at the same time. It was a bizarre sensation to have both feelings at once. We then had a AAA guy come and take 1 bolt from each of the other tires, as he didn't have the bolts we would need. We were then back on the road.
