Good Lord!

I have over 3 million air miles and am pleased to say the worst thing I encountered was a lightning strike which was no big deal (the pilot even got on and said “we just had a lightning strike but these planes are designed for them”).

Rough weather and bouncing around, of course.

But nothing like that, thank God.

Not as big a flyer, but had an engine blow on takeoff, 5 knots short of takeoff speed. Credit the captain for bringing us to a controlled stop and rolled us back to the terminal. We were trailed by fire trucks all the way...

It was an experience I don't want to repeat...
