re: Airport Madness......Weirdest thing you've ever seen at the airport/while flying

I was on a short flight one time. I had ate some good mexican food right before the flight and had the worst gas ever. I let one rip on the plane and about 2 rows behind me and across the aisle was a fat old lady with hair down to her waist. She started yelling and cussing, saying "Did somebody fart? That's fricking disgusting!" She called the attendant over and asked her if she smelled it too and if she could do something about it. I could barely contain myself in my seat from holding in all the laughter. The next 30 minutes I dropped several bombs (I called it "Shock and Awe"). The lady was flipping her shite and would not stop bitching about the smell. I wish I could have got it all on video.

I was the only passenger on a Delta flight from ATL to GTR in MS. The flight attendant showed me where the drinks and snacks were and said help yourself. She then sat down in one of the many vacant seats and took a nap.
The only time I've been on a semi-empty plane was from Atlanta to BR on a very delayed flight (I think we landed in BR around 2am) and the flight attendants basically did the same thing. They gave us each a handful of bags of whatever we wanted and unlimited drinks.

I hate CRJs.
Not really all that interesting story, but it was a miserable experience on a CRJ that had to be older than me. About 6 years ago, was on an Delta flagged CRJ-200 operated by ASA from Baton Rouge to Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon. I'm a bigger guy with some claustrophobia issues and I loathe CRJs because I always feel like I'm in a beer can with jet engines when I'm on one. These are the tiny little jets that used to be popular for connecting flights. They have two jet engines mounted to the fuselage near the tail just outside the far rear windows.
I am in an isle seat all the way in the back....and luckily there is no one in the window seat to my side. As we are taking off from BTR, the nose starts to go up, and I hear a popping sound and the nose abruptly falls back to the runway as the plane makes a roaring noise that could only be described as some kind of tire blow out. This happened in conjunction with a fairly violent vibration.
I look over my shoulder and out the window and see nothing but smoke and sparks coming out of the engine that's practically in my right ear. No one else on the plane seems to notice this particular little detail as this flaming shite box with wings comes to a halt in the middle of the runway. I keep my mouth shut and wait for them to open the door before I burst out of there like an alien.
Now.....I'm a claustrophobic big guy inside a flaming jet the size of your average phone booth, and no one else seems to be aware that the engine is on fire. I immediately start scoping just who I'd have to flatten on my way out of this tin can. There is about about 50 people between me and the forward exit.
Just as I jump out of my seat to make for the exit (the rest of the passengers are still strapped in), the fire crew doused the engine outside my window with this white foam substance that put the fire out. They came out of nowhere. It was shocking how fast they were actually even though at the time it seemed like an eternity. The passengers evacuate and we walk back to the terminal while ground crews tow the jet to a maintenance hanger so Delta can fix their hooptie. There was another ASA/Delta CRJ out there at a hanger that you can see from the gate. They had to take parts off the busted CRJ to fix the one they were going to use for the grounded Atlanta flight.
Only about half the passengers boarded the repaired CRJ when they finally brought it to the gate. It was the quietest flight I had ever taken. When we landed at Atlanta, it took about 50 minutes to taxi to the gate. I eventually make my way to baggage claim only to find that my luggage wasn't there.
I have not been on a Delta flight or a flight operated by their contract carriers since then.
The End.
I still have a picture of that jet covered in that foam that I took right after I got off. Maybe I'll post it when I get back to my PC.

not really any cool stories, but..
on a flight from San Diego to Houston a few years back, after we were seated and getting ready to do preperations for take-off, a flight attendant went to the front of the aircraft and said something along the lines of "Would a passenger by the name of so-and-so please report to the front?". saw said dude stand up, walk out, never saw him again.
in the middle of a flight from Houston to LAX, a girl sitting next to me was reading a book and out of nowhere, starts crying hysterically. the hysterical crying ends up turning into laughter..borderline psychotic laughter. I said a few Hail Mary's and didn't look her way for the rest of the flight.
as I was waiting in line to board the plane from Houston to Las Vegas, a group of bimbos behind me was talking about "what alter-ego they're gonna be in Vegas and what fake names they'll use". One of them turns to a well-dressed, middle aged gentleman and says "Hey, my name's Barbie". He looks at her and says "nobody cares". I

I saw T-Pain in the Atlanta airport one time. I walked up to him and said what's up. He was super rude about it. I realized later that it wasn't T-Pain, it was just some random dude.

Was once delayed on a plane bc someone said they thought they saw a mouse run out of the food tray cart. Had to get another plane. People were voting to take off anyways but pilot wouldn't do it.

I've worked in airport operations since graduating at MAF, OKC and now SJT (small regional in Texas). Some stories that immediately come to mind are...
I've seen 2 people keel over and die in the terminal.
I've seen a couple have sex curbside on camera at 5 in the morning when they thought no one was watching.
Had it happen twice now at different airports where dudes piss all over the terrazzo as a prank and walk away like nothing happened.
One time in particular a casino charter flight full of old folks had just pulled off the jet bridge. Walked into the bathroom next to the gate, and two stalls literally looked like a shite explosion everywhere (walls, ceilings, floors) and there was a fully loaded depends on the floor. Old dude did not give a frick.
Seen multiple blowjobs both in the terminal and the parking lot.
Tons of fights, obviously. You get the drift.

I saw a drunk at Love Field (pre 9/11) tell the security guard that he had a bomb. About 10 cops came out of nowhere to take him down.
One time flying into Nashville, with thunderstorms coming in, we landed so hard that it popped the oxygen masks out. Wanted to ask the pilot if he caught the 3rd wire.

I couldn't even begin to imagine sitting on a train for 2-3 days. I think I'd rather be on a Greyhound bus.
I had a buddy when I lived in Alaska that was moving back to West Virginia where his family was from. He was going the entire way on Greyhound. If I remember right it was going to take him something like a week to get there and he had a stack of tickets that would choke an ox.

Was on a flight from Philly to New Orleans, on the back row, and a guy directly across the aisle from me was laying it on thick to one of the flight attendants. Telling her he was a player on the PGA Tour. He looked the part, and sounded like he knew what he was talking about. The flight attendant was head over heels for this guy. Guy eventually asked her out for that evening.
I managed to catch his name, and after we landed I looked him up and it turns out he was actually a caddy for the LPGA tour.

Great thread. I shared a flight back from Rome to the states with Jerry springer. I also saw a guy having a seizure in the Denver airport. Freaked me the frick out because his wife thought he was dying and was violently screaming/crying.

That's great. What a douche but sounds like it worked.

I sat next to Alexandra Ambrosio on a flight from LaGuardia to Atlanta one night. She was headed to Miami and had a connector in Atlanta. She is really hot.
