Yet another circumstance where formally declaring an emergency saves the day.

Here, folks just thought it was for evil engine fires and passengers running down the isle spewing blood from their eye sockets. Not so. It also includes soccer games, but only when the Gambian President is on board. And there is an "R" in the month.

At least we didn't shoot them down this time and then strafe them in the river...
