On the Tarmac

Its tough to complain because we are alive but still this wait on the tarmac is painful.

We Have Lift-Off

So far so good. We are in the air and all engines seem to be working. I am looking forward to getting home safe and sound. If you are reading this, I have arrived.

So Far So Good

The plane has been flying for an hour or so and I believe we have the same Captain so a recent blog entry was not entirely accurate. All the flight attendants on this flight are new however.

All these years I took that second engine for granted.

According to fellow passengers, one of the flight attendants on the last flight had a mini breakdown. This was not confidence inspiring for fellow passengers but I can't blame this attendant.

It is likely difficult to screen someone for their ability to project the positive outlook needed in such a situation.

Engine Went Out

I am on AA flight 366 and as we took off I heard a huge bang. The engine right by my seat went out and we experienced some turbulence before we landed back where we started from in Chicago.

The plane seemed very unstable in the very windy Chicago sky.

I can speak for most of the cabin when I say we were all very nervous and sweating until the captain made a super smooth landing with the single remaining engine.

When we landed we were greeted by a number of fire trucks and firemen.

Let's just say this was a life altering experience and I may post more on the subject later.

Thanks to the flight crew who got us on the ground safely.
