Episode 26.5: [Tragedy Tuesday] Nightmare at 41,000 Feet (12,500 Meters)

When it comes to measurement, there's the right way, and there's the Imperial system.  Sometimes when you make the switch from one system to the other, wires get crossed and things can go south.  Was that in liters, or gallons?  The history of the metric system, an airplane flying light, and a decommissioned air base that maybe wasn't so decommissioned.  Nuclear Norm brings the aerial terror!

 

Norm's song pick:: Gravity by Four Year Strong
