The New York Times’ business travel columnist Joe Sharkey was on the Embraer Legacy 600 jet that was apparently involved in a midair collision with a GOL 737 as both aircraft flew above the Amazon jungle this weekend. That’s what Joe gets for doing a freelance assignment for Business Jet Traveler magazine.

If you have not read his account of what it was like, it’s a good read. (The NYT requires you to register to read, but it’s free.)
