The first of those has 51 comments, the 2nd, 27.
I'd actually tried a few variants of search, by URL, by the flight number (including in comments) which brings up a few interesting coincidental results, and various froms of "wrong way" without luck.

This is a must-read that I go through start to finish every time I come across it.
