Because I am now on AT&T DSL, I had to watch it in short clips punctuated by long waits for buffering. But it was well worth squandering my whole day's ration of patience.
All of the other employees gathered around, reminded me of the dark-of-night "Angel Flights" departing the CASH to evacuate a soldier who did not survive his wounds. Everyone who could, would like these Delta employees, gather quietly to watch the helicopter ascend straight up into the darkness. We would drop our salutes when the angel disappeared. "No man hath greater love..."
The Delta Honor Guard appears to be composed of people who have done it before. None of this seemed in the least insincere.
