I was on a "Miracle" flight this week, during the boarding process, I watched about 7 people who pre-boarded (I can say for the record that at least 1 of the 7 was faking it). Upon arriving to my seat, one pre-boarder was seated next to me with a cane and was trying to work it into the overhead bin, I helped her maneuver it in so the bin door would close and didn't think much about it until we landed.

Upon arriving at the gate, and as soon as the seatbelt sign was off and the accompanying "ding", she caught my attention when she got up pretty quickly, grabbed her bag(s) and cane and stood in the aisle ... I ended up following her up the jetway and into the terminal, at which point she was miraculously cured, tucked the cane under her left arm while she drug her bags with her right arm, quickly enough that I could barely keep up with her pace.

I laughed to myself and wondered if there was a thread on FT about "Miracle flights" ... when I came across this thread, I had to share!
