A very loud bang,I was sitting right on the side where the engine is, ah,the loud bang with a little bit flare¹ for a short time and the engine was shut up pretty much immediately from the flight deck. Ah,on flight I analysed the situation.Ah,thanks the Qantas crew by the way for doing a phenomenen job and bringing us down safely.

We just come out this fear on the plane.I thought the crew and pilots handled this very well and I couldn't be happier that we are still here.That's the main thing.

I've already called Mr. McConnell, John Boehner, Henry Reed and Nancy Pelosy to invite them to a meeting,here,the White House ,in the first week of lame² duck on November 18th. This is gonna be a meeting in which I want us to talk substantively³ about how we can move the American people's agenda forward. It's not just gonna be photo up. Hopefully, it may spill over the dinner and the medias' focus is gonna be what we need to get under the lame duck session.

I was thinking as we were waiting for first image that,Gee,this is really like a moment of exploration. I mean we're about to see something no humans have ever seen before in the history of humankind and it was just incredible and we saw the images and that was the exploration moment like McC and Henry, the principal scientists from the University of Maryland, I said, ok, now we found the exploration, now the fun starts, we have to do science, you got to explain with that what we were looking at.
