At least two men have died on flights I was on. No announcements were made. One they threw a blanket over and left him in his window seat. The other they stuffed into a first class bathroom and duck taped the door shut.

One afternoon I was in a plane descending to land at John Wayne in Orange County, CA. I looked out my port side window and saw a huge brush fire down toward Laguna Beach. It was like something in a Cecil B. DeMille movie and it took a while to register what was happening. No announcements were made. When we landed I went home to my house in Corona Del Mar. Ended staying up all night, even hosing down the roof as about 4:00 a.m. flying cinders from the fire were landing on it. 300 Homes Destroyed in O.C. - Los Angeles Times
