PLUMMETING PLANE? IT WAS THE STEWARDESS’ FAULT
The explanation they’re now giving for how a Boeing 787 Dreamliner went into a terrifying mid-flight dive over the ocean last week? A flight attendant accidentally bumped a cockpit switch. About 50 people were injured Monday when the LATAM Airlines flight between Australia and New Zealand suddenly dropped, throwing passengers and crew into the cabin’s ceiling. U.S. industry officials briefed on a preliminary investigation were told it may have been caused by a flight attendant hitting a switch on the pilot’s seat while serving a meal, inadvertently activating a motorized seat feature and pushing the pilot forward into the controls. The switch, which has a cover, is not supposed to be used when the pilot is sitting at the controls.
* Right. The pilot is supposed to adjust his seat position from 20 or 30 feet away.
* So, everybody on board almost had the fish.
* Who replaced the pilot’s seat with a Barcolounger?
* Airplane food is just bad news all around.
* How about changing the name from Dreamliner to Screamliner?
CLIP: Again, here is our little “Dreamliner” song.
