    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Its horrible. These things can happen even if you do know how to swim. Ive seen it firsthand, when someone is sucked into a whirlpool sort of thing. Its almost impossible to get back out.
