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 |
I believe you but YOWSA!!! That treatment is unbelievable! But I def believe you. No emergency stop for a young man who might have well been dying. Guess it would have cost the airline a bundle to make an emergency landing. Less costly to settle a lawsuit vs. re-routing 300+ passengers. I haven't flown that airline since, I have my principles too.
