For years the chairman of the Dutch Pilot Union was a pilot going by the name of "Benno Baksteen". A Baksteen is a brick as in "dropping like a brick" what translates as "Vallen als een baksteen". When somewhere a big aircraft disaster had taken place it was he who usually was on the telly to explain a thing or two to us Dutch TV-viewers. And remember, take offs are optional, landings are mandatory.
