Yeah, that description of dropping is pretty damned accurate. Happened to me on takeoff in a turbo prop in 1992 from LHR to East Midlands. Shake, drop, shake, drop. The plane was dead silent. I looked around the cabin, caught a girl's eye and we just shrugged. Finally, the pilot veered off course, announced that they had waited the required amount of time behind the earlier plane but a full investigation would take place. It turned out the 737 in front of us was classed as a medium sized plane but had the wake of a large one but that didn't come out until a year later when it caused a plane to crash into a block of flats in Amsterdam.

I am a nighttime cleaner at a sports arena. I have seen horrors beyond imagining. But... I have *time* to deal with my horrors. I'd imagine its probably smaller volumes of horror they deal with per plane but having to deal with it in minutes? MAD respect for these people.

Im like 95% sure that if a pilot asks to have a deviated flight path to avoid bad weather, ATC has to (to the best of their ability) comply with the pilots request, and not just outright deny it. And im also pretty sure if the pilot feels it's unsafe to continue on the planes current path, he has the power to deviate without consequence.

“That is like the worst situation i cadaver imagine” stop it get some help you menace🤣

Some blond himbo kept harassing the women, who then responded by pummeling him.

It must have knocked something loose, because the rest of the flight he kept freaking out about a "clown on the wing."

My cousin served as a jet mechanic in the Air Force in Europe. On his trip home, a commercial flight, he started white-knuckling the armrests. His seat mate, a little old lady, gently asked him if it was his first flight. He said, "no, ma'am. I just know what's happening. "

Last time i was on a plane, was on the return trip from Japan, where i had my last back surgery.

Someone had a heart attack, a solid 4 hours from the nearest place to land.

fun Fact: While not a doctor, i am an NP, with the needed medical background to deal with such things.

Not a lot i could do however. The patient was essentially brain dead before the captain could asked about doctors. Massive heart attack, and while i never learned the cause, i suspect a large clot, given the age of the patient, the fact we were at high altitude, and the sheer magnitude of the heart attack itself.

Probably a DVT (Deep vein Thrombosis), which is a clot that forms in the legs.

The craziest thing I’ve seen on a plane. I was sitting the type window seat of a Southwest Airlines Plane, it was a 737-300, goes way back. The engine was moving separately from the plane. Normally that wouldn’t be an issue, since engine vibrations do that. However every time the PIC (Pilot in Command) pulled back on the controls to climb, or pushed forward to descend, the engine would move a bit in the opposite direction. Even though the plane was full, I could see clear across to the other window, and see the other engine was not making those movements. I knew something was wrong. However my dumb butt decided to wait till landing to say anything, and during that time, cracks had formed around the engine mount. Luckily the engine did not detach from the plane, and we landed normally. I did indeed inform a flight attendant as we deboarded at the destination. They took it very seriously, they had a crew in minutes looking at the engine, and then next thing I knew, the flight that plane was going on next, which was back the way we came, was delayed. They then had a tug push the plane back, and tow it away. Good to know southwest doesn’t play around.

The first flight i ever had i had to jump out the plane at 15, 000 ft

Fortunately it was a skydive and i landed safely.

Death Stranding background. Nice.
I want to play that again now.

We were on a flight and a guy starts having a seizure. This is an 18 hours flight and we were about 1 hour into the flight. My mom argued with the pilot for 3 hours to turn around, this guy was on oxygen the entire flight. Pilot doesn't and the guy is just unloaded when we land. The crazy thing is my mom was taking the trip 2 years later and same thing happened. This time she was able to get the pilot to turn around. The stewardess came up to them and let my mom know she was on the previous flight as well. Both people apparently thought getting on a plane was a good time to stop taking their siezure medication.

Question Rufus, is that you playing the games in the videos? I play Disney Speedstorm too so I was wondering if we could maybe play sometime?

[GamingXenZen]

Ok what's the name of the game? Bro you gotta please put the game playing in the background in the info page below! Please man some of these games look way too good to torture myself watching their gameplay or even glancing their way.

A couple years ago there was a woman a couple rows ahead of be on the other side of the aisle that had 2 big duffel bags each about the size of Mary Poppins bag and a 2'-3' tall African style drum (I don't know the name, but one of the bongo looking ones). All I can remember her saying was how they were her carry-ons and her and the crew having some words that boiled down to "how are these carry-ons, they should be down below or smaller items" followed by them trying to find space for everything. I don't think I have to tell you that everyone within eyeshot of the overhead bins above her was looking and not being discreet while she was being somewhere between crazy granny and "why let me in if i can't" level of Karen. It took her like 5 minutes to get everything situated and we were in the front half of the plane so there was still people waiting to board

With story four, all I can think about is Mr. Treeger from Friends cleaning Joey and Chandler's bathroom 😂

Story 1 sounds like a microburst or at the very least hitting the downdraft. 40000 feet is nothing for serious storms that can reach up to twice that if the conditions are right. THe fact they ran into, and through, serious hail makes me wonder just how bad the storm was, sounds like a severe storm.

To be fair, the extreme version of this is the NLM Cityhopper flight that flew into a quite literal tornado and broke apart. Planes are, surprisingly, not designed for flying into tornadoes. Who knew

[DS-lpxt]

@04:00 you keep doing cpr and similar until emt's take over... imagine the other passengers freaking out due to a corpse.

[codm]

Oow this will be good
um story 1 what was this guy on united air Lines

Nothing too crazy, but once I was taking a flight from Sweden to Greece, so about 2, 5-3 hours flight. Right after takeoff, I thought it smelled like something burning, but it didn’t smell too much, just a little, but still it bothered me a little so I kept looking around to see if anyone else had noticed, but since none of the other passengers reacted to it, I guessed it was nothing and just stopped thinking about it. So about 3 hours later, after the best landing of my life, no bouncing or anything, the pilot connected the intercom to thank us for flying with them and also mentioned that after takeoff one of the engines had started burning. I don’t know much about planes, but I do know they have more than one engine and we had already landed. So nobody reacted to the announcement and we were on our way to luggage claim 🤷🏼‍♀️ But the fact that the plane landed without even bouncing once, while all other times the plane has always bounced several times on the tarmac, gave me the impression that the pilot was a really good one. So yeah, I smelled the burning engine and we kept flying like nothing happened.

You can spot the Americans at the end of a flight as they are the ones who clap.

The Europeans just look at them with amusement.

If you want to clap something, clap the takeoff as it’s more dangerous than landing!
