Had a business trip to Amsterdam today (no, not buying shit)

Mentioned in another thread that the weather have been extremely hot and humid here in central Germany the last 3-4 days. Its been building up like mad and today all hell broke loose. Thunderstorms with hail and massive winds, pitch black clouds, basically apocalyptic weather.

Guess what...we tried to land in that shit! The plane fell like, I am not sure but it fell probably 300-600 m, and shook like we where over Berlin 1944 or something. The Pilot screamed to the cabin crew to sit down and buckle up. He then slammed on full thrusters and started to climb up, out of the black soup.


We where held in a waiting pattern for about 30 min. Lighting bolts left and right we waited...shaking, jumping...and scared like shit. After that we went down again for a 2nd try...shaking and jumping like mad we finally touched down at Frankfurt International...I tell you, applause broke out in the whole plane...I HATE TO FLY!

Now i am off to play some Mass Effect...deserved it

HAHAHA, man!. I have a somewhat bipolar relationship with airplanes as it is (been flying to much and to much crap have happened) so I really did not need another "incident"...the next one could be it you know . But sure, its a kick...but not really a good one, at least not for me.

Just as a side line, me and my buddy had been joking about passengers on the plane looking like LOST characters...well...go figure the rest

I saw that video some weeks ago, and believe me those frames where going through my head as we approached. Though the weather was much more rainy and BLACK compared to that vid, and our Pilot did a pretty controlled landing compared to that. But dam that vid is scary...in hindsight.

I am taking Waldo's suggestion to go to bed here pretty serious. The Wife says I am looking pale and what have you. I will turn in and talk to the demons in the morn. Also had a couple of shots of Vodka...needed it.

Hes just had a near death experience. He doesnt go for a pint or a stiff drink. He doesnt call his mother to tell her he loves her. He doesnt sit down and think over how lucky he is to be alive.

He sits down, and plays Mass Effect. A true Nforce'er. Cox, I salute you mate Smile

I really fucking hate flying. It's a very sinister experience for me. The looks the flight attendants have on their face, its like they secretly know something is wrong with the engine or the plane is hijacked. And when the fasten seatbelt sign comes on for no reason? Or the pilot starts making a shit load of sharp turns? Fuck that.

Yea, i know that driving "Kills" , but I try to drive fast where its "safe" of course relative. Here in Germany, if you drive "normal" you get stuck behind a truck or something. I am talking about the stretches with free speed now, normally 4-5 lanes. Although, if you have an accident even on a free speed stretch and you where driving over 130, you will be blamed (or dead)...sort of a general rule here.

Oh dear god. Whyyyyy did I read this thread?

I'm glad you're alive and happy, bud, but I've got a flight tomorrow evening! Flying back to Norway and instead of the happy thoughts of being reunited with my girl .. I'm going to be thinking about this.

*shivers*
