The
worst experience we ever had on a plane wasn't really anyone's fault:
we were flying from New York to Minneapolis during the Presidential
campaign in 2004. For some reason, we had agreed to see in the last row
of the plane, next to the toilets. We'd rather pay $400 more per flight
than experience that nastiness again.
Anyway,
that wasn't the reason it was so awful. We get motion sickness from
turbulence and the weather that night was beyond awful-- there's
nothing crazier than looking down at lightning-- with huge
gusts of wind sending the whole plane into a panic. A flight attendant
on her day off was sitting next to us, buying us Scotches and being a
terrible flirt. That would have helped a lot, except after a violent,
sudden drop, she said quietly, "Oh, no... this is not good."
Somehow,
we survived, as did all of these poor souls who faced violence,
turbulence, scary noises, and other sounds that were entirely the work
of people on the plane. Can you top these crazy tales from Flights From Hell?
