Hobb's curated folder of Xmas Media

My Christmas Eve ritual is to drink alcohol, watch randomized videos from my Xmass folder, and experience sentimental emotions. "Sentimentalism" is a largely foreign, and highly suspect, emotion to me and I consider it a distorted fake emotion deployed to avoid experiencing deeper truer emotions. But that is just a theory and there must be some place for it, and Christmas Eve it is.

Here is the listing of the Xmass Folder (i.e videos that fill me up with emotion - including laughter - every year)

FOR 2021 - A Very 'Mayday' XMASS

TACA Flight 110  (levee - 1988)
US Airways Flight 1549 (Hudson river  - 2009)
Air Canada Flight 143 (Gimili - 1983)
Air Transat Flight 236  (Azores - 2001)

It will be just like CBC's annual 'RAF xmas ghost-story' [aka The Shepard] - but without the gawd awful sentimental occult militarism....

Just civilian pilots (some I'm sure ex-military) bringing civilians back to the ground when the odds are against them.  This about livingry not weaponry - and will feature more Canadian content than CBC's RAF jingoism!

I'm already looking forward to it.

another welcome addition to the list...
