This is the best story so far. What a horrendous experience! I am glad that you made it back in one piece.

Nothing is worse than people vomiting on planes. Nothing. It is my worst fear to be on a plane with people vomiting. I had the misfortune to experience that once during a similar circling experience, but it was just my dad. My god what an awful sound that was.

Awesome story. The horror makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. I once worked for TWA before its demise, so I’ve flown a lot, I know how planes work, etc. so nothing really scares me when I fly. I was once on another airline’s crappy, cramped, ancient DC9-10 which must have been built during the Johnson administration (this happened in the late ’80s). It was a short flight, but so rough that the wingtips were flexing what looked like about a foot up and down, and people were hurling fountains of vomit everywhere. I was lucky enough that the seat next to me was unoccupied, so I sat calmly until we landed. But what a nasty flight that was!

You are absolutely right. Airlines should be required to fight the forces of nature. And give you a cookie somewhere along the way.

I guess it’s funny to read about this sort of story, but at the time, it must have been a scary hell. Stories like these make me want to give up flying the unfriendly skies.

Just glad the plane and the people in it survived.

Well told story. Made me LOL. I work in the aviation industry my self and always enjoy a good CAT story. Two years ago my boss and I had a delightfull flight in a A36 in which we bounced along from Jackson, MS to Atlanta at a blistering 140knts because of a rare time that the head wind was coming out of the east do to a tropical system off the coast of GA.

That is by far the best worst story on this site I have read so far. The title is great too.
