If memory serves me, it was after 9/11 and everyone nervous about flights here and there, incidents would make the news,such as this flight lost cabin pressure, this flight someone was locked in the bathroom, etc.
There was a flight, maybe in Chicago if I recall, some incident and a women posted here that her husband was on that flight. She then said for everyone to pay attention for her because she had to go take a shower... and she left the thread!
I think we were all in shock. So now when something kind of important is happening but we aren’t exactly sure of the magnitude, we just go take shower. Lol.
I think you may correct!
