On Emergency Landings


Unexpected Bumps.

The delight of being seated in an emergency exit on a 4 (plus) hour flight is briefly interrupted by the flight attendant's inquiry about your ability to do the right thing during the worst case scenario.  Are you, in fact, courageous enough to facilitate an emergency landing in the event that the plane takes a nose dive for the wrong direction, and (BTW) everyone’s life on this airplane depends on this? The answer is probably no or, minimally, I have no freaking idea, but the lure of the 12-inch extra legroom brings out the hero in you in that particular moment, and you respond with a confident and borderline overly-excited Of course!, hoping for the best while easing back into your moderately upgraded accommodations.  Enjoy!
