I took a great book to Florida a few weeks ago, plowed right through it. The title “Union 1812” “The Americans Who Fought The Second War of Independence”. Honestly if you enjoy history you will love this book. A. J. Langguth is the author. Check it out.
On the flight down we encountered some rough air. The sign came on, the announcement. It made no difference to many that simply had to go to the bathroom. The steward was right beside me in a jump seat shaking his head as he intoned to each passenger lurching to the head. “Ma’am the seat belt light is on”. The passenger just breezed by. The plane was taking some pretty good hits but they kept coming.
I have to say that while waiting for the departure you actually get to know them, or at least recognize them on the plane.” Oh that guy had the giant latte” I actually try and restrict my fluid intake before boarding. That’s not the case these days in most departure lounges.Why not actually count on rough air?
This is a “you are on your own ” post. “That warning sign !” ” Ha, that’s not for me!”
Now in this awful tragedy linked below you will find conflicting news reports. I am not going to parse that one. Many have been injured by turbulence in planes. I am saying that no one is listening to the crew. I was actually surprised all those people got out on the wing in the Hudson River. I mean it takes what like 30 minutes now for everyone to shuffle on , stow all their bags, find their seat( the number is on your boarding pass) , then go back into the stowed bag at least once before takeoff. I finished my book on the beach. On my return flight I popped a benadryl, wake me when it’s over.
