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
It looked like his left main was locked up.... OUCH
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

how the hell did they get permission to land at DCA? you can't even divert there in an emergency... (don't temp sully with a patomac landing!)
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
