Mount Salak Cliff Walls
By ruthless48
I already have one husband
and my father is dead
if you insist on trying to take the controls
I will steer straight into the sheer cliff of dead volcano ahead
I will not announce to cabin crew or passengers seated their outcome
no black box is as dark as my black heart
search jungle floors for pieces of your life
as you drag your overbearing personality in a black body bag
I’m already on the second jet
found in “perfect technical condition before the flight”
flying
back home to Moscow

Heard about it on the news and never got a reason, yet. Hell of a demo flight for sure - pray for all travellers in this wicked world.
