I think OldNFO published this pic a while back...
That this could happen scares the bejeebers out of me.
It's one (of many) reasons that I don't sit in window seats,
and if for some reason I DO wind up in a window seat I never look out the window.
Yeah. I was window seat on a British Air flight on approach into Boston back in the early 80's, when it dropped a big section of left aileron into somebody's car on the North Shore.
Pilot came back and asked me if I saw it go. I told him how it picked up a vibration as soon as they engaged it, and it built energy for about 15 seconds until it disappeared with a big bang.
Nice recovery by the pilots when the asymmetric drag tried to roll us over, and Logan Tower got us on the ground fast, with crash trucks escorting.
Widest awake passengers you ever saw getting off a transatlantic flight.
Do you have a firearm that you have purchased for home protection, but are not comfortable with your ability to safely maintain, load and fire it?
Uncle Jay would be glad to help.
If you've never shot a firearm or would like an introduction into shooting sports, just let me know.
I can arrange range time and can give you practical assistance in learning about guns, or help you with your personal protection firearm.
Always remember the 5 rules:
1. Always treat a firearms as if it is loaded.
2. Never point a firearm at anyone or anything that you do not intend to kill or destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
4. Know your target and what is beyond the target.
5. Don't be a dick.
You can violate one of the rules and you might survive; If you break two of the rules, someone could be hurt or killed.
Violate the 5th rule and the person hurt or killed will probably be you.
Always remember: You are personally responsible for anything that happens while a gun is in your hands.

I can't the credit for that one, but that WOULD get someone's attention... :-)
I can safely assume, given that this photo exists, that the plane landed safely.
So what's your next fear? OMG MY INTERNET CONNECTION FROZE UP WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!
;P
