It turned out there was complete engine failure on one side after one of the turbines tore apart and shredded the rest of an engine. Everyone was deathly silent, and then we eventually dumped a bunch of fuel and returned to Tokyo airport.
So: reading during a possible plane crash.

Hey, I understand this completely! I'd have been reading all the harder, shutting that reality out!
