Up In The Air

Fear of flying is something we all have and it never diminishes....in fact the older u get, the more it becomes! The past 2 weeks were not really good for flying and three incidents were notable. The first one was something we all dread of, but it really happened and a plane fell almost 18000 ft, before the pilot could take control. Even thinking about it , gives u the goosebumps!!Thank God, the plane landed safely, albeit injuries to some passengers. One enterprising young chap from Gods Own Country was the cause of fear for passengers of another flight. The flight from Banglore was about to land in Kochi, when the crew and passengers were horrified to see this chap, coming out of the toilet without a single stich of clothing!!Yup!!in his b'day suit!!Apparently he took the ad "king of good times" literally and had a ball before and on the flight. Nobody was able to persuade him to wear clothes and finally after landing, seeing the security force only he complied. The last incident occured on the flight from Heathrow to Cayman Islands.Passengers on the 11 hr flight were told to stop drinking water or eating anything, 2hrs b4 landing. Reason???Well apparently aviation services at Heathrow forgot to empty the tanks and all six toilets were jammed. All were relieved when the flight finally landed(pun intended). Well we dont want to end any topic on heady notes. So hope u dont mind including two minor skirmishes with a major incident. The fact remains we all fear flying, at least I do! Hope u had a nice time.This is your pilot signing off...........
