right after I posted...let me explain...

Back in July of 1988, my two sons and I were flying from Alaska to Detroit...with a stop in Denver (I believe...). Anyway, about 5 days prior to leaving AK, we changed our flight destination from Detroit to NM.
While in the airport, I remember telling my boys (pointing to the plane departing) that that was the plane we were supposed to be on, but we're flying to NM instead...

Little did I know that we had avoided the Souix City plane crash of July 1988 of which about 1/2 of the people died...

I guess one never NEEDS a light until you NEED it!

Those who lived struggled to find their way out of a DARK and smoke-filled crumpled DC10...my point...a good light would have been quite useful...
