1. clear air turbulence in 747 SIN-NRT...felt like the plane went straight down...water in my glass "sloshed" vertically out of the glass
2. wind storm 2 weeks ago in SEA landing (a 757 thankfully) on one wheel being buffeted badly at the same time...PAX clapped when we had fully gotten all gear on the ground..
3. wind shear warning caused aborted landing DFW-DEN
4. JNB-Perth, 747, on landing part of the tire disintegrated and flew into the cowling of one of the engines...fortunately not INTO the engine...couldn't feel the difference
5. Piper Chieftan commuter PDX-EUG, on take off the door/stairs popped open before liftoff...pilots had warning indicator but all PAX yelled anyway...it was surreal watching the runway zoom by across from my seat!
Found out later that was a "known" flaw on this model
6. 767 ORD-SFO pilot comes on PA and says that the flaps won't deploy fully so the landing would be faster than normal...so he was declaring an emergency...buy it was a pretty mellow emergency...I couldn't tell the difference except for the emergency vehicles lining the runway
7. 777 lightning strike in flight, big flash and pop from the wing, 1st officer came back to look thru the a PAX window at the damage but couldn't see any...continued on normally
