Most nerve racking airplane flight(s)...

    Well recently I was on this Cathay Pacific flight out of Hong Kong and this crazy French woman gets up and goes to open the door so she can have a fag. Everyone was shouting at her as loud as they could to stop, but typical bl**dy french, kept on pretending she didn't understand a word of English and keeps saying "va te faire foutre!" or some such thing.

    In the end a couple of Aussie rugby players high tackled her but even though she was only 5ft2 she was just too strong (think she must have been a member of the French womens rugby team or something), threw the guys off and, despite the 10 tons of air pressure, managed to get the door open.

    It was certainly nerve-wracking few moments but luckily in the end it all turned out well. She got to smoke her fag on the way down and we got some fresh air.

    Honest...

      WELL..... funny you should say that but Clownio Jnr was actually sitting next to the door that flew open and understandably is now sh1t scared of helicopters and the look on his face when it happened was not too dissimilar to my avitar.

        Closely followed by an extreme thraaaping sound and a gently wafting aroma I imagine.
        I am not qualified to give the above advice!

        Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

          Flying from Cairns to Darwin 2002,
          should have been a 2 hr flight, one hour in
          we get lightening, and lots of turbulence, the
          plane then dropped 100ft,
          smoke in the cabin, lights had gone out, and all the air
          masks came crashing down, we then managed
          an emergency landing somewhere on an old dusty
          airstrip.

          Frightening.
