Flying the Turbulent Skies

[€uroMeinke]

While I've had some turbulent trips, they don't match the flight with the engine fire - which I watched flare on my way to the restroom in the back of the plane which was then filling with smoke.

I went back to my seat, followed the instructions to remove my shoes and sharp objects from my pockets, tucked my head between my knees as we had an emergency landing in Vegas on a runway lined with a fleet of emergency vehicles.

I was comforted in knowing these planes were designed to fly on one engine - of course a few weeks later a plane lost an engine and spiraled into the ground, so I've come to better appreciate my circumstances.

Assuming a survived landing (which is a hard thing to assume) and Lani wasn't along (since my fear for her is generally much more than my fear for myself) you just described something that sounds like a whole lot of fun.
