In a CH53E going from Iceland to Greenland for training. Pilots thought they'd mess with us. Almost cost all of us our lives somewhere in north Atlantic. Jerks.

Shortly after 9-11 I was taking a flight to Dallas from Columbus. I was seated beside a foreigner, which I have NOTHING against at all, but he kept acting nervous and was reading out of a small book...and kept looking around, and was popping pills like crazy. This after reading somewhere that terrorists had a small "Instruction Manual" that they would read...
Kinda freaked me out, so I tried to become friends with him
Found out he was just nervous about flying and was just sick. Made me feel better though...

Jet Slides Off Runway at Chicago's Midway
By CARLA K. JOHNSON, Associated Press Writer 1 minute ago
CHICAGO - A jetliner trying to land in heavy snow slid off a runway, crashed through a fence and slid into a busy street, hitting one vehicle and pinning another beneath it.
ADVERTISEMENT
Two passengers on the plane suffered minor injuries, and as many as seven people on the ground were hurt, Aviation Department spokeswoman Wendy Abrams said.
Southwest Airlines Flight 1248 from Baltimore was landing at Midway International Airport with 90 passengers. The airport reported 7 inches of snow Thursday, but Abrams said runway conditions at the time were acceptable.
The nose of the plane was crushed and a severely damaged engine was on the ground, Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said.
"It got really bumpy, and then a big crashing sound," passenger Katie Duda told WMAQ-TV. The next thing she knew, the airplane had skidded past the airport and into the street, she said.
"Everyone was very calm. Everyone around me seemed very OK," she said.
The passengers used inflatable slides to get out of the plane in the blowing snow.
Midway was closed after the accident, and Abrams said she did not know when it would reopen.
The Boeing 737 slid through the northwest corner of the airport, through the boundary fence and into the road, according to the
Federal Aviation Administration's regional office in Chicago. Langford said at least two vehicles were damaged, and one was pinned under the plane.
Midway, Chicago's second largest after O'Hare International, is closely bordered by streets lined with homes and businesses. It serves more than 17 million travelers a year, many of them on Southwest.
A Southwest Airlines spokesman had no immediate information about the accident. Southwest flies an all-737 fleet with over 400 aircraft.
Standard procedure calls for pilots to be tested immediately after a crash for alcohol in their blood, FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown said in Washington, D.C.
She said agency officials were on their way to Chicago to investigate the accident.
Snow caused troubles for travelers across the Midwest on Thursday, with as much as 10 inches on the ground in some areas.
The accident occurred 33 years to the day after a crash at Midway that killed 45 people, two of them on the ground.
In that crash, a United Airlines jet struck tree branches about a mile from the airport, then hit the roofs of a number of bungalows before plowing into a home, bursting into flames. Eighteen passengers survived.

I think its pretty damn funny how Thump starts this thread two days ago and there have been two scary plane incidents in two days. If anyone on here is thinking of getting on a plane today, why I would think twice. You know, these things happen in threes - so what will today's scary plane incident be? Thanks Thump! I was going to fly to St. Bart's today!!!!

When I lived in Chicago we would fly out of Midway(Because of Southwest and their cheap flights) coming back to columbus to visit family about once every 2-3 months.
That airport is right in the middle of a neighborhood. Not the greatest hood either. You can compare the area to the east side of Columbus around Ohio Ave.
Its amazing how close the houses are to the runway. There is a freeway right near the airport also.

well, the day I have dreaded for awhile happened a few days ago. I was on a flight to Fort Lauderdale and upon landing and getting to the gate a stewardess started getting frantic and said the words I have been dreading: Is there a doctor on board?
Well, I sheepishly responded and came to the attention of an unresponsive elderly women who might have had a seizure according to her husband. I took her vitals and gave her some oxygen from the bag and she gradually woke up and was slightly confused. Probably stroke or seizure. The worst was that it took paramedics about 20 minutes to arrive. There isnt much you can do to a person when they are sitting on board an aircraft liner.
When I took my flight back, upon arriving at the Delta ticket counter they said Your ticket has been changed. You have been upgraded to first class. Do you know why?
So I guess fulfilling your Hippopotomas Oath can have some selfish benefits as well.

Worst moment on an airplane: It could be sitting in front of this guy.
Passenger Allegedly Urinates On Seat In Front Of Him On Flight
Frontier Airlines says they are aware of a recent situation aboard a flight from Denver to South Carolina in which a passenger allegedly urinated on the passenger’s seat in front of him.
According to another passenger on the flight, the man urinated on the seat in front of hers after being kicked out of his previous seat for inappropriate behavior.
The passenger told CBS4’s Dillon Thomas she was sitting in the same row as the man, across the aisle, when he unbuckled his seat belt and urinated on the back of the chair.
