It's like this, jg
Imagine you're in an jet flying at 35000 feet
All of a sudden, the cabin fills with poisonous snakes, starving tigers and bears, killer bees, etc
Then the engines catch fire
And the wings fall off
You manage to wrench open the emergency exit and jump out into the slipstream and miraculously miss the tail
So you're falling, watching the plane full of bees and snakes, etc, flying through the sky on fire
Waiting to hit the ground
That's where we are right now
