*I would sue for emotional damages if I was on this plane--this was clearly abusive fearmongering at its worst

Virgin Atlantic investigated reports that a flight attendant repeatedly screamed, We're going to crash when a London-to-Las Vegas flight hit turbulence.

The alleged incident happened Friday over Greenland on a Boeing 747-400 headed for Nevada with 451 passengers aboard -- at least one of which was injured, The London Telegraph reported.

Passenger Paul Gibson, editorial director of Chauffeur Magazine, said the flight attendant in her 20's screamed every time the jet shook.

She shouted at the top of her voice, 'We're going to crash! We're going to crash! We're going to crash,' Gibson told The London Daily Mirror.

The pilot ordered all flight attendants to their seats.

Loads of people were being sick and when someone shouted at the stewardess for more sick bags, she picked up a dozen and threw them across the cabin, Gibson said. It was raining sick bags. The aircraft was in chaos.

The British-based airline said it would investigate the report.

Is anyone reminded of the Monty Python skit in How to Annoy People?

*I would sue for emotional damages if I was on this plane...

Lord knows that's what we need, yet another lawsuit because OMGWTF!!! a person's actions would have made you feel bad.

Reminds me of some folks in Florida, who had never been to NY, didn't know anyone who died, no lost family members, nothing, wanting to sue Al Queda for emotional damage.

I swear, sometimes I feel like suing the sue happy people - for wasting my tax dollars!

Ah... High Comedy.

Ah... High Comedy.
if you were on that flight youd be vomiting

if you were on that flight youd be vomiting
And you'd have air sickness bags raining down around you, so there'd be no problems. Personally, I love that stewardess passionately now (I've had far too many flights that were just boring as Hell), its those dumb shits that started puking who need to be kicked in the groin.

Maybe, but I'd like to think I'd be doing so through a rather wide grin...it does indeed sound worthy of its own sketch on a comedy show...

I thought all the barfing was from the turbulance, not from the idiot stewardess.

High Comedy, I agree. Especially cause I WASN'T on that flight.

Yes.... clearly she was doing this as an elaborate joke, and not because she was having either an emotional problem or a bad drug reaction... because people LOVE to lose their jobs in idiotic ways.

I hope she took off her stockings if she thought they were crashing-- a stewardess in a chatroom told me thas the proper procedure

The important question, however, was not if the plane was crashing...

The important question is: "Were there snakes on the plane?"

I'd have thrown her off the plane, then asked for a refund or first class upgrade.

I think, er... that's for a different procedure when you're a mile high in a plane.

but itll scare you

She was, not the airline. She was freaking out. NOT purpousfully "fearmongering"(as you put it). People are too sue happy now-a-days. It is rediculous.

Did she throw the vomit bags with vomit in them? It sounds like a plane ride I would have enjoyed as long as nobody threw up on or near me. Or threw vomit on me. Hysterical people are always fun to watch.

But the airliner has an obligation to put safe stewardesses on the flight. They failed miserably on that one, it would seem.

I agree--it makes me feel so much more clam

Wow.....she needs to seek help.

but itll scare you

come oooooooooooooon, tell us.

Because man-made clothing melts and sticks to your skin. Stockings in particular melt easily and fuse with the skin, forcing its removal in the event of survival.

Useful tip - if you're on a hillside, crawl diagonally uphill. Kerosene flows downhill. The fireball flows vertically upwards.

maybe she should join the military:p

True, some have been known to die slow lingering deaths in the woods or sea.

Or dying in a hysterical crowd.

I saw a documentary where one Chilean airliner took off and headed out to sea at night, but the ground crew had forgotten to remove the tape they stuck over the sensors while washing the wings. Pilot realised he didn't know his altitude. He managed a controlled landing into the ocean, but everyone drowned without making it out of the plane as it sank.

why couldnt they get out? I thought planes were built to float for a bit

You can't really land them blind into open water without rupturing something. Maybe the wings took some fuselage with them as they sheared off, I don't know. But it ended up at the bottom of the sea with everyone inside.

they should build them with windows that people can kick out or some other emergency hole ripping technology

I hope this doesn't happen on Virgin Galactic flights
