Here's something you might be interested in.
My girlfriend doesn't like to fly. But she seems to be getting on a plane a few times each year to go back east.
I think having a fear of flying isn't so crazy. I read once that it's the most common fear.
I do think it's crazy if you're at the point John Madden and Whoopi Goldberg were. They were so scared they wouldn't board a plane.
I have a friend that is so scared, she has to be completely drunk before getting on a plane.
I think of those people before I blog about the various plane disasters, which is the topic of the day.
One plane hit some birds a few days ago. But they were able to land safely (and not in the Hudson).
There was a 12-year-old who survived a Yemenia Airways jetliner crash in the Indian Ocean. There were 152 other passengers that died.
She didn't know how to swim, but was hanging onto a piece of the aircraft (talk about using things as floatation devices).
The story had a sad ending...as the girl asked her father on the phone where her mom was. She had died in the crash, but they kept that info from her.
On a lighter note, there was a passenger on a US Airways flight to Los Angeles, who decided he'd be more comfortable if he was naked. To be honest...as long as he didn't hog the arm rest, I probably wouldn't care. I do admit, if the flight attendant came by asking us if we'd like nuts, I might start giggling...
The 50-year-old (yep...there's that number again) wouldn't cover up, even with a flight attendant trying to put a blanket on him. Two off-duty law enforcement officers subdued and handcuffed him. But...I'm guessing if a person took off all their clothes on a flight, the handcuffing part was probably a treat for him.
Apparently the guy suffers from a bipolar disorder and hadn't taken his meds.
I initially thought he wanted to join the mile high club, but just didn't realize that to be a member, you need to have a partner!
