Abstract

Around midnight on a stormy night, a medium-sized commercial jet was making its way into a midwestern airport. For the crew, this was the last flight in a four-day trip, with numerous takeoffs and landings, many hours of flying, and too little sleep.

It is only with the heart one can see rightly;

what is essential is invisible to the eye.

—Antoine Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince, chapter xxi
