OMNI: Have you noticed that Nobody pays attention to those emergency flight instructions, even though the F-A's say "Even if you heard it before listen. Well I alwasy do.... for the following reason:
Only had two emergency landings. Both flights were with People's Express. Both were my FIRST FLights... the first to Rochester, the second to Texas (I think, I was accompanying friends)

Rochester: We had this space cadet but very cute and very dumb flight attendant who announced this was her first flight. Half way to Rochester the engine failed and the pilot scrambled to land at anther airport. She got hysterical and it didn't help me, I was about to have a coronary. So some woman said she would slap the F=A in the face if she didn't calm down. The F-A started crying, we landed in a small field, the brave woman helped the F-A get the passengers off the plane. Of course I charge up the aisle from the back, go out screaming and kiss the ground.

Second time: taking off from EWR, I smelled gas and commented loudly enough. there was smoke and just before takeoff the captain screams NO TAKEOFF! NO TAKEOFF!!! We went back to the gate. I sent regrets to my friends, went back home and went to bed.

I did not fly again for about four more years.

But I got back on the horse (I mean plane) and now love it.

MEOW! MEOW! MEOW!!!
