Pressure Drop

By Anthony Bourdain on October 22, 2008 11:22 PM | Permalink | 362 Comments

Failure has a stench all its own. It smells like fear ... and shame. I may have been conveniently removed from the burning wreckage inspired by last week's experiment, happily narcotized in a pressurized cabin on its way to Manila, but the odor followed me just the same.
