What do you always do when flying, without fail?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I am always nice to all the airline staff – checking in, boarding and while on the plane. They can make my trip a joy or not so joyful. I always pack my Kindle. I take it and my reading glasses out of my bag before I get to my seat so I can drop my bag in the overhead locker quickly and take my seat. I make a point of not reclining my seat unless I am on a long flight. There is nothing worse than the person in front taking up seat behind them by reclining on a one or two hour flight. It might not seem like it takes up much space but I hate when people do it to me so I don’t do it to others. I wait patiently to access the overhead locker to retrieve my bag and don’t shove and push people to get off the plane.

Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
