I don’t even know quite what to do with this:
A French woman who is terrified of flying admitted in an Australian court Monday that she drunkenly tried to open an airplane door mid-flight to smoke a cigarette.Because opening the aircraft door makes the flight you’re terrified of so much safer.
She walked toward one of the aircraft's emergency exits with an unlit cigarette and a lighter in her hand and began tampering with the door, prosecutors said. But a flight attendant intervened and took [her] back to her seat.
Defense lawyer Helen Shilton told the court Sellies was terrified of flying and had taken sleeping tablets with alcohol before takeoff.
Wow, sleeping pills and booze. Great idea. But I grudgingly admit a bit of sympathy for this person. Her little pharmaceutical cocktail was a bad idea, and everyone hates a drunk on a flight, especially an international flight. But CNN is not where I would want some of my personal stupidities to end up.
