Cockpit transcript

The web coughs up some interesting things. How about the transcript of a cocokpit recording from an Alaska Airlines commercial jet that corkscrewed into the ocean? Well it was originally printed in Harper's, so maybe the web isn't that interesting after all. But you don't have to buy Harper's, you can read it...

...and you'll get a fresh respect for pilots. In the face of death, they calmly tried to figure out the situation and prevent catastrophe.
