Hey there, time traveller!

Re: AirCan move ‘fishy,’ Katz says (Oct. 3). The mighty Air Canada jet soars over northwestern Ontario. Richardson International Airport is barely 30 minutes away.
Suddenly, alarms start dinging and the high-resolution central display in the fly-by-wire cockpit turns red. A message starts flashing: “Air Canada central, security briefing, 14:32 hours.”
The display turns a friendlier blue as sentences start rolling down. “Two teens with hoodies sighted, Main and Higgins. Suspicious dumpster, lid missing, in lane behind Langside. Mustang, loud muffler headed east on Roblin.”
The captain furrows his brow as his steely blue eyes focus on the far horizon. In his 15 years in the big left-side seat he has had to make some tough decisions and this is going to be one of them.
Does he throw caution to the wind, go for it and land at Winnipeg? Or does he divert to Chicago?
