Hope is not a plan

Over the weekend, I took in the new movie Deepwater Horizon, about the disaster on the oil drilling rig of the same name. I found it well worth my time, and highly recommend it to everybody.

The movie takes place on the few hours before and during the blowout and fire. In a quiet scene before The Big Kaboom (tm) Mark Wahlberg's character is talking to a senior executive from BP. Wahlberg says that (of the rig) "your plan is to run out of gas when the wheels hit the runway. That's not a plan. Hope is not a plan."

Words to live by.
