He spoke into the PA now, "Attention passengers, we are experiencing some minor engine trouble and we'll be taking a little longer than anticipated to reach LaGuardia, but no more trouble is expected. Thank You"
"Translation," said a man called Leland, loud enough for the pilots to hear, "One of the engines has blown, we'll be in the air for another two hours, but don't lose your heads!" He added, with a grin, "I can see the smoke."

Science
The intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment, also known as 'why shit happens.'
Everything is some form of science. Baking a cake.That's chemistry. Peeping on the hot nudist chick who lives in the apartment building across the street from you. Biology. Your fridge is empty; you deduce that your stoner roommate and his stoner buddies all got stoned and raided the fridge, because you know that your roommate just bought an ounce, doesn't like geting stoned alone, and has no respect for the property of others. Scientific method.
