CNN: Hey Betty, did you catch what the airline guy just told ya???

[ClusterFreak]

The airplane with it's cargo door indicator light on, is NOT an emergency situation.

So go cover some news. This is NOT news. Okay? Get it??

[Kadie]

1. LOL

My husband was watching this a moment ago. He said the next big news story would be about someone with a hang-nail.

[ClusterFreak]

4. This is "Breaking News" on CNN.....

....a missing blonde girl who falsely claimed she had been kidnapped just before her wedding day, has turned up safe and sound on an airplane with it's cargo door indicator light on, and apparently also suffering from a hang-nail!!!

:rofl: :popcorn:

6. Damn

I was hoping it would be about my husband not closing his door all the way. The car light on for hours as we circled the block to run out our fuel before we pulled into our drive way. We had no cell phone, no way to contact the outside world. I rolled down the window and yelled for help but our neighbors callously decided not to "get involved" and retreated to the safety of their homes. We circled for hours. At one point we were forced to survive on some Altoids and a few precious drops of old Pepsi from a a nearly emptied plastic bottle. The horror, the horror.

8. Love it!

Good stuff!!:toast:

[Mabus]

14. Based on a true story

except he remedied the "problem" before we backed out of the driveway. Thanks.

[Jane Austin]

9. Damn, that's funny!

Thanks, Mabus.

[Mabus]

15. Sorry, sometimes I channel the spirit of "Firesign Theater"

and I giggle to myself a lot. Gotta do something to keep my sanity with Bush as pResident.

[Jane Austin]

25. Well, keep on channeling!

You can help me keep my sanity, too. :)

2. Cable nooze is hungry for blood and guts ... LIVE and in COLOR

I can even hear the ambivalence when they express 'relief' that things turn out well.

[Common Sense Party]

3. Absolutely right. "It's interesting when people die..."

I'm glad I don't have cable.

[ClusterFreak]

7. Exactly!

"So what you're saying then, is that...**sigh**, there's no emergency here?"

"No, there is not."

"Not even a little one?"

"No."

"Aw come on, be a good guy!"

"Sorry, no emergency here."

"Oh...fiddlesticks...all right then. (after a pause) Meanwhile....have you been wondering about how Brad and Angelina spent Christmas?? We'll have all the merry details right after this commercial break!!"

:puke:

5. CNN BREAKING

Wind.

[malaise]

10. Damn she is dense

apparently she has a list of things she intends to ask and his answers are irrelevant. This is better than Comedy Central.

[madokie]

11. all I know is there must be something going on in washington

because msm is doing everything they can to not report it. Serial rapist, airplane, white girl etc etc.

[Mabus]

13. Oh come on, there has to be a missing white woman somewhere!

Why are they wasting news time with this trash when there are so many missing white women to be found? I just don't know what this world is coming to.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. The cute missing blond girl is aboard the airplane.

That's what made the cargo door open light come on.

CNN's "aviation experts" are just about that smart.

[Mabus]

18. Then I stand corrected

by all means they should flood our screens with this news! :party:

That's one down! Now, where did they put Natalee? :yoiks:

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Dr. Phil knows

[flyarm]

16. is it not getting bizarre???????? this stuff goes on hundreds of times a

a year...or something like this cargo door light indicators..i wonder when they will start broadcasting when the galley ovens don't work???????????????

or OMG......5 passengers shorted meals...emergency..emergency!!


...two people go into one lav...emergency emergency..opps...we don't tell "those stories"....

passenger row 26 seat A getting bj under blanket....emergency emergency!!

goodness gracious..will they ever get to real news again??????????

FROM A RETIRED FLIGHT ATTENDANT...

FLY

[MsKandice01]

19. Question for you...

"Passenger row 26 seat A getting bj under blanket....emergency emergency!!"

Does this happen often? Seriously. I've always wondered about that. I can imagine with all of the people who fly everyday, there have got to be a fair share of voyeurs among them. (By the way, I am neither a voyeur nor a pervert, just very curious.)

[flyarm]

22. on all nighters when the lights go dim...i have had the grandpleasure

of embarrassing many ...who somehow thought they got a hotel room on the aircraft!!

those little flashlights we are required to carry ...shine a light on many things...

and for all the voyeurs....we miss nothing!!...nothing....sometimes we choose to point it out and others..we don't ..but we miss nothing..even when ppl think they are going to the lav and partner comes later...we see it and we monitor it!!

and most the time..we write reports on it!!

so if those who think they are voyeurs..out there..see the f/a walk by and look at your seat numbers..its because they are writing a report and putting your seat numbers and names on a report!!

again..we miss nothing that goes on in that cabin...or almost nothing...

fly

[me b zola]

20. I feel so cheated!!

On our way home from the Sept 24 march on DC, on the final leg of the jouney departing from Salt Lake City, we were on a plane that had to return to the airport because it did not pressurize. Terror!! Emergency!!

I never asked anyone if it got the same rabid coverage that these other flights do, but my guess is it didn't because it was the last flight of the night, so prime-time cnn & msrnc news shows probably wouldn't be interupted.

[Berry Cool]

23. NEWS FLASH! NEWS FLASH!

Major malfunction on plane in skies right now! Passenger asked flight attendant for Coke...and they had no Coke on board! Only Pepsi!!!!

Plane is even now circling airport to burn off fuel before it comes in for emergency landing to restock the Coke.

Alert the cable news channels!!! Hurry!!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. Once I was on a plane that was waiting at the gate and couldn't even leave

because they had to wait for a mechanic to sign off the logbook! The horror! The horror! I was amazed that CNN didn't come by and interview the distraught passengers and crew.
