Wow. Glad i wasn't on that flight.

On the bright side, at it was SQ FLight attendants cleaning up the mess. Can you imaging how miserable it would be if it was the oversized cows used by American or United airlines having to climb all over you? :oops: :cool:

Reminds me of a flight I took form Stansted airport to Newcastle many years ago. Small plane, gale force winds at Newcastle. Coming in to land was like an extreme roller coaster ride. Bits and bobs flying everywhere and a large proportion of the passengers using the sick bag (not myself I have to say but my boss sitting next to me did!).

After we finally landed the air stewardess came on the speaker system to give the usual speech about keeping your seat belts fastened when just at that point the ride overwhelmed her and the entire plane heard her vomit loud and clear.

We all thought it was over however once we reached the stand the ground crew opened the luggage compartment doors at which point the wind started to tip the plane. I was at the front and could hear the pilot frantically shouting to the ground crew to shut the doors.

That coffee and your breakfast will still be all over YOU, not the aisle.
