Default daily mail today page 5

my work colleague just called to say he's just arrived home, but in light of what happened on his flight to vegas on friday of last week, he may be a little late into the office tomorrow morning if he gets a good nights' sleep

the headline on page 5 reads "We're going to crash!. Hysterical air hostess convinces oanicking passengers they are all about to die..."

i don't like flying

If you start screaming in the street people stop and stare at you but if you do it on a plane then people will join in with you

I think "linkage" was a request for a link to the article not a suggestion as to the cause!

Why didn't the pilot or co-pilot reassure everyone?

Must admit though, I would have sh*t my pants.

If you're dealing with clear air turbulence, I'd think you'd have other things on your mind.

-We've gotta get this woman to a hospital
-A hospital, what is it?
-It's a large building with patients inside, but that's not important right now.

PMSL!

"There's no need to be alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way is there anyone here who knows how to fly a plane?"

he's back at work now and says the paper hyped it all up.
...who would have thought it?
he says the turbulence went on for about 40mins but his experience wasn't as the papers described. i feel sorry for the guy who came out of the toilet has p'd all down the front of his trousers and ralphed all down the front of his shirt. shouldn't think he had a change of clothes in his hand luggage

"And I just thought: 'It's over; if an air hostess is telling us we are crashing'. I really thought we were crashing," she said.
Some people have a rather overinflated view of air hostess thinking abilities.
