and I think my friend Chris would agree,
was the day that we were working
in the fitting shop, and the 111 was on test,
and they were doing the stall test,
and unfortunately the engines
didn't kick back, they didn't kick back in,
and it came down, and everybody was killed,
and one of the lads who was working with us,
his son was onboard,
and that was one of the saddest days.
That was one of the saddest days.
