One of the few times in my opinion that you have to bang the batter out from the wing regardless. At least in a "protect the crew" mentality.
Precisely! Definitely close enough, and definitely would have bailed him out of the screwed up mechanic. It was just a fart that made his arm go up, and then Culbreth burned him. Brutal.
