Get Off the Plane!
Monday Sep 26th, 2016
On a trip a few weeks ago, I was getting ready to board my flight. It had been delayed for a few minutes, but soon I was seated on a relatively small plane with a large extension cord connecting it to the terminal area. There was a fluttering of activity in the cockpit followed by an announcement from the captain: “We thought that we had a small electrical problem, but it’s bigger than we initially thought. We are going to have you deplane while we fix the problem.”
