"Ladies and Gentlemen, Thank you for flying on the Boeing 777 Flight
633. Unfortunately, due to a minor bug in the flight control software
raising a predefined exception and Ada RM section 11.6, the flight
control software has crashed. We are now heading towards the ground at
700 miles per hour. Estimated time of arrival 10 seconds. Have a nice
day."
