I don’t know what it is. But if we’re supposed to read between the lines about “major turbulence” then it could be the story.
Please...spare me. The story is ludicrous. Having spent 28 years as a Foreign Service Officer, there is no way such a scenario would play out. Moreover, it makes her sound like some kind of hero risking life and limb in the service of the country. Peddling this stuff on FR makes us all look like a bunch of loonies.
