Look Out!
No matter where the airport is located, at some point, there was wilderness there. This naturally means that there are animals that are floating around that could potentially find their way onto the tarmac.
So this is not an unusual occurrence though it must have been frightening when that plane hit the deer. We just wonder how the deer wasn’t able to see the plane coming and get out of the way.
Language Barrier
Sometimes the cheapest way to fly overseas is to use the national airlines. The only downfall of this is that they tend to make announcements in their language. So if you are unfamiliar with it, you could have a few moments of worry.
This person who was flying on Thai airlines had a few legitimate concerns. When things started going a little crazy, he wasn’t sure what was going on. Good thing that the rest of the passengers had some idea so his fears were assuaged in the end.
Disturbing Disease
It is never fun when you’re traveling on an airplane and someone is noticeably sick. But when it is a serious illness that not even a doctor onboard could help with, it can be even more terrifying.
We can’t imagine how the other passengers were feeling when this person became deathly ill. Everybody reacted calmly, and eventually, the scare was over. However, according to this poster, it sounds like everyone acted too calmy.
Years of Experience
Just like with any career, having a lifetime of experience in the aviation industry is sure to give you tons of interesting stories. The only decision then is which one you choose to tell to everyone.
This gentleman had quite the experience with things that would make most of us reconsider our career choices. From something small like a bug flying out of the console to a lot more terrifying episodes like the cargo door dropping open.
No Visibility
Though there are plenty of terrifying stories to be told about experiences on large commercial planes, some of the most harrowing come from the smaller planes. This is because they are lighter in weight and easier affected by the elements.
We don’t know about you, but being in a situation like this person was and on Christmas nonetheless would scare us badly. But, at least they had good pilots and landed safely even with all the weather issues.
Breaking the Rules
There are lots of rules put in place by the airlines so that the flying experience is great for everyone. This includes not allowing people on planes that are very drunk or may have hygiene issues.
So how this one passenger got on board in such a bad condition is beyond us. But, nevertheless, they did, which made for quite an unpleasant experience for many of the other passengers. Especially the one who happened to be seated next to her.
Lightning Strike
One thing is for sure if you are a frequent traveler, then you have experienced flying through a storm. This can be very scary as there is tons of turbulence and you can see and hear the lightning and thunder. And that is just the beginning…
This person must have been terrified when they looked out the window and saw lightning strike the wing. It’s no wonder everyone started to panic and pray. Luckily their prayers were answered!
What a Mess!
Planes are not the only thing that flies through the air. So it’s not surprising that there are plenty of stories where airplanes have come into contact with birds flying in their airspace. Of course, when something that big meets something so small, it’s bound to be pretty bad.
It must be quite something to have to deal with the smell of burning feathers and see a gruesome sight when you exit the plane as this passenger did.
You Are In My Space!
To get as many customers as possible onto the plane, many of them have very limited space when it comes to seating. So if you happen to be in the middle seat, you may wind up having to be a little too close for comfort to the other passengers in your row.
This is especially awkward when you have a long-haul flight and are stuck between two larger individuals. We feel bad for the poor passenger sandwiched in the middle!
No Worse Smell
It must be difficult to travel with a baby… And then to have to put up with all the glares and stares that come with it. But even though it’s difficult, you should probably try to contain any bodily fluids that your child decides to expel.
After doing a good deed, this passenger ended up paying for it by being covered in child throw-up. It’s one thing being covered in your child’s mess but when it’s a random kid, you’re less inclined to keep your cool.
