Syrian crooner and backing band?

[Hatteras]

Any Pakistani musicians on the passenger list?

[Daus]

Pretty big line of storms over Iowa right now. Turbulence.

Awkward title - I was thinking something happened to the plane.

Geese fighting back?

[Americanwolf]

intresting, but I thought that only caused Nausea not turbulance... :)

[Hatteras]

Okay, Syria... Pakistan... 220... 221... whatever it takes...

[misterrob]

That sucks. I've been on few flights that scared the hell out of me but never that bad that anyone got bounced.

[ShandaLear]

Bush's fault.

[unojook]

Geese from OHIO

[camle]

is that why they call that flight the "Orange county chopper?"

(I know OCC is in NJ, but...)

[to the core]

great line! thanks for the laugh!

[You Dirty Rats]

Turbulence. Why people don't fasten their seat belts is beyond me. I saw a father tossing a baby up in the hair right during a turbulence warning! The baby's head was just short of the overhead panels -- and that was WITHOUT turbulence! Some people are beyond stupid.

Plane with Injuries??? Sounds like the plane needs a bandaid!

"If you don't put that f'ing tray up and your f'ing seat in the upright position then I'm gonna..."

[Americanwolf]

Yeah... The thought because it was coming from orange county(remember orange ommpa loompa Kerry).. That John Kerry was on the flight and they wanted revenge.

A dozen people will probably correct you on this, but it's actually NY. :)

Orange County, NY, actually. Close enough for gov't work...

Plane with Injuries? And all this time im thinking planes didnt have physical feelings...Learn something new everyday.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Guess it's been awhile since you've flown.

[JiggyMac]

Don't worry, John Kerry has already put in Purple Heart nominations for the plane. He'd given them Medals of Honor, but there weren't any Al-Queda on board.

[OXENinFLA]

Always wear you seat belt in flight..............

[Peach]

I was on a business trip through Atlanta once and the turbulence was so bad we had ambulances waiting at the gate when we landed. It was pretty brutal.

Co-Pilot: "Do some of that Pilot Sh!t Mav"

Pilot: "I'm going ballistic!"

Flight Attendant: "Goose, ya big stud!"

[DeFault User]

Plane with injuries:

It had the fish.

[aShepard]

Purple Hearts for all on board!

Actually, it hasn't been, but I think I see where you're going, as I don't recall anything in the way of "food" being served on my flight...

[July 4th]

Precisely. On a domestic flight? No way.

reminds me of an old joke:

Definition of a good airplane landing:

Passengers can walk off the plane.

Definition of a great airplane landing:

The plane can be used again!

I still hate to fly

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I flew into Oakland from Denver some months ago and learned a good lesson about keeping my seat belt buckled. A woman in front of me and several others bounced out of their seats and hit the ceiling from unexpected turbulence.

Always wear you seat belt in flight..............

And don't forget to take a towel.

That sucks. I've been on few flights that scared the hell out of me but never that bad that anyone got bounced.

I was on a plane (Korean Airlines) from Seoul to LA that fell a mile. Many injuries and three ambulances to treat the passengers after we landed (and waited over an hour for a gate).

It's the reason I fly with the seat belt securely fasten at all times.

[Rakkasan1]

turbans or turbulence?

nevermind-BUSH's FAULT!
