There you are flying along and you hit some bad
turbulence. Apparently, real bad. But things don’t seem totally unmanageable. Then the stewardess screams out (three
times) "We’re going to crash". But the plane recovers and all is well. But what about that stewardess? Or the
real question is: did this really happen? So goes the
allegation that had bedeviled the folks at Virgin Airlines who now contest that there is no evidence the stewardess
in question actually acted as described. The BBC reports that Virgin says a story about a stewardesses aboard the plane
panicking is false. The turbulence, which came three hours into the flight, was said to be the worst in the airline’s
22-year history, but it is still an open question whether the stewardess actually freaked out. If she did, well, that’s
just plane (sic) wrong. But if not, how odd such a story would get started.
