The translation is better
This article by Oliver Burkman in The Guardian on Everything You Never Wanted to Know About Flying

http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,2250436,00.html

contains plenty of urban myths (the pilot claimed to be Jesus Christ and offered to perform a miracle) and quotes from www.pprune.org -- the site for flight professionals.

But the translation in Spain's El Mundo

http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2008/0...202017311.html

offers a YouTube video of an FA "stripping" (well, taking off her blouse) for the camera and the captain.

The Daily Mail has "highlights" of the strip, but stills only:

As Larry Kellner says hundreds of times a day: "You're flying with some of the most professional men and women in the business."
