Obviously, I like to tell stories with anecdotes, "it makes it so much more interesting for the listener!"

But again, it's more about understanding what caused this relatively improbable event to happen, twice in a row. And yes, I considered all the 'buy ups' and potential SDC's - but in many years of Delta flying, statistically speaking, I don't recall seeing this happen.

If you think I'm off base, it's sheer curiousity - maybe folks that know more than me can say 'oh yeah, that happens sometimes, it's X.' That's all.
