In Costa Rica for a few days with my wife and daughter. Coming in, the plane’s tail end hit the runway first. There was a scrunching noise and the pilot hit the throttle and took it around for another try. Yikes.

Sounds full on. Glad you're still with us. Hopefully it hasn't ruined your daughter's appreciation for flying.

Good friends of mine are heading to Costa Rica this week. Apparently there's a really cool sloth sanctuary.

Holy shit. You’re not likely to forget that anytime soon.

It was disturbing. Was really just hoping for my daughter’s sake. That was all my thinking.

Holy shit. Glad you’re alright. That would be so scary. Did the tail have visible damage?

Can't imagine. It would take a lot to rattle me on an airplane, but that would do it. No doubt. Glad you all are safe.
