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
That's fucking amazing! Shit like that is unforgettable! Congrats your sorry ass made it!
Fuck! I want something like that! Your heart pounding. Cluching the seat. Thinking of what the fuck is gonna happen. Uncertainty. Fear. And death. Fucking amazing! hahah!
You still rattled up?! Get some sleep! Don't play games! Sleep! Have a couple night mares! Then play! Playing right now is meh! Shit like that has to be celebrated! If shit went tits up you wouldn't be seeing the sunset or the sunrise tomorrow! Fuck man! Fuck the games! go fuck wild! Enjoy the rest of today and then sleep it off!!! Mass effect will be there tomorrow!
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
Oh man!!!!.. I tell ya. You are right in a way for sure....but I have a kid and a wife that I love....and that rushed through me many oh times during those 40 min...sounds like a stereotype I know, but there it is.
I know what you mean That feeling is amazing! And the moment you touch down! AWESOME even better eh Like you're god for a brief second You survived death Fucking thrilling
You know damn fucking well you loved it! You'd go through it again if the guarantee of a safe landing was issued
That's fucking amazing! Shit like that is unforgettable! Congrats your sorry ass made it!

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.
Ive seen that vid before. I cant even imagine sitting in that plane at that moment. It must have been scary has hell for the passengers. I bet a couple of them shit their pants. (i would i've )

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
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.
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.
