Airliner makes emergency landing....

[LashStoat]

What's the big deal guys?

The spirit of Australia has had a hole in it for decades (and the planes aren't that good either). But it matches the ozone layer so it's a complete motif.

It's rumored that the strains of "land down under" were only just audible (but certainly highly visible) over the sound of other types of straining, involving both seats and, for the taller passengers (Alex) the overhead lockers.

It brought a whole new meaning to "contents may have moved in transit".

I'd be awfully embarrassed making a claim on my laptop because of poo ingress...or imagine a pooey palm pilot? Though I guess the stylus would help...

Anyway, passengers will be lucky if they don't get slugged extra bucks for the enhanced view and the 300+ cans of upholstery cleaner.

Lumps drop of planes all the time - fortunately it isn't usually the long flat bits or the large round noisy things...it's just the walls that define the outside vs the inside, and similar creature comforts.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX, swimming (not flying) to the US of A.

I'm a little nervous even when peeking in on the most innocent looking of thread titles. Especially any posted by KB or CM.

on theses days its better flying on long haul flights than short flights . I fles back in forth to the US a lot and i can say i have no worries about anything .

i fles many Airlines transatlantic : TWA , Continental , Northwest , Air Canada and British Airways and Air France .

with an oil barrel close to $140 i look at Prices and cheaper flights are i dont mind having a stop except with British Airways because when the first flight is late you have no chance to find your luggages at you arrival .

Except BA i look at prices first not safe airlines .

FLying from Paris to the US the Prices range is usually between 350 Euros and 550 Euros . Paris to LA are like 550 with a stop in the US .

News reports are saying that they are now suspecting that an oxygen tank may have exploded. This would tie in with passenger reports that the oxygen masks were not working after the explosion occurred.
