Hello CRM'ers

A short question from a winterly and cold Norway (Yesterday the
temperature in some parts of the country dropped to -45 degrees
Celsius):

Do any of you recognise the following conversation:

First Officer: Isn't this a little faster than you normally fly this
John?
Captain: Oh yeah, but it's nice and smooth. We're going to get in
right on time, maybe a little ahead of time. We've got it made.
First Officer: I sure hope so.
Engineer: You know, John, do you know the difference between a
duck and a co-pilot?
Captain: What's the difference?
Engineer: Well a duck can fly!
Captain: Well said!
Co-pilot: Seems like there's a bit of a tailwind up here,
John.
Captain: Yeah, we're saving gas, helps us to get in a
coupe of minutes early too..

Is it correct that this conversation took place on board a B727
approaching an airport somewhere in Oregon? When did this happen? Is it
correct that the aircraft crashed after touching down near the far end
of the runway?

Thanks!

Jens
