A little bit of trouble with wind!

There appears to be a growing number of "air disaster" stories in the news of late, with either planes falling out of the skies or pilots falling off their trolleys.

First there was the BA pilot named Coward, who let his first officer carry out a dangerous landing at Heathrow; then there was the pilot who went slightly mad whilst flying from the USA to London, and had to be carried out of the cockpit in "restraints", shouting that he wanted to speak to God!; there was also the recent example of the pilot who sadly died on the flight from London to Turkey; and today we saw the case of a Lufthansa pilot with a severe case of wind.

If you are thinking of flying anywhere soon you might not want to watch the attached video, but I can assure you that everyone arrived safely, with nobody hurt at all.

Also remember that you stand more chance getting kicked to death by a donkey than you do dying in an air crash - although as they also say, the chances of 300 people getting kicked to death by 300 donkeys on a airport runway, is slightly less likely!
