RE: Sepulveda Basin
Unless I missed him saying that, I don't think he blamed it on his servos as per his norm. However, one thing I heard him say was vintage DJ. Once his plane pulled towards the pilots, he gunned it and he "trusted his skills and the Lord to guide the plane away from people."
On a side note, when out in the weeds helping Jason and everyone search for some missing parts of his Boomerang, I discovered that sandals are actually a good choice to wear out into the weeds. I didn't ruin any socks or shoes with the stickers and I managed to survive without any scratches to my feet.
