Unreasonable Fear Of…
Jumbo jets are supposed to be safer, the new Airbus A380 the safest.
An unusual, annoying sound distracts me from the terrific in-flight entertainment system.
What is that sound? Where the hell is it coming from?
Running water? Yes, it’s the sound of running water. No one seems alarmed…yet.
Now water is cascading from the ceiling of this A380.
Water begins to pool in the carpet. The water rises, continues to rise. Frighteningly, water now laps at my sneakers. I can feel my socks becoming damp.
Suddenly any fear of flying turns to fear of drowning…at 35,000 feet.
