This FA sure thought is was time to get worried!

After flying a plane myself I realized that the thing really does want to stay aloft. It's designed that way. That's not to say the most extreme circumstances can't bring it down, because we all know it does happen, but not too often. It takes just the right combination of unfortunate circumstances to cause something so catastrophic.
