Yep someone's going to be getting a little chat with the cops for getting handsy. And at 7am for goodness sakes!

Looks like you can "feed the drama" by sending unauthenticated JSON messages to an endpoint that the site specifies?

Fortunately, nobody on the internet has the urge to break things just for the hell of it, so I'm sure everything will be fine.

Oh Jesus: HOWDY, WERE GOING TO NEED LEO MEET THE AIRPLANE FOR A PERSON TOUCHING ANOTHER PAX.

Could've been an international (overnight) flight. Maybe alcohol was involved.

I knew watching every mentour pilot and blancolirio video would serve me well. I haven't yet heroically landed a plane after the pilots both had heart attacks, but at least I can read most of these.

Interesting that the keyboard for these[0] is not a QWERTY keyboard but instead has the buttons arranged alphabetically. That must be a pain in the ass to type in. Is that because the tech is 50 years old from before QWERTY was the standard? Do newer planes have QWERTY?

I'm a human so I can't provide an AI summary.

Check this summary out though I typed it out with my hands:

- airplane people use radio based on some standards from the 1970s to talk to ground people

- said airplanes fly over a guy's house so he can receive airplane people messages

- guy filters out human readable parts and has a bot that picks few of them that could be funny

- bot posts it online

Even if you did QWERTY, how would you arrange it in a 5x6 matrix?
