TURBULENT AIR
**** Long ago my Son & I took a plane trip . This was back in the day when the airlines gave away Cokes & peanuts .
Well , my Son was as excited as a ten year old can be over the prospect of free Cokes & peanuts . He began to put them away as fast as they could bring them .
I warned him about the danger of consuming large amounts of watery Cokes & peanuts but he chose not to heed the advice .
We were sailing along at 30,000 feet when he said " Dad , Dad ".
The distress was clear in his voice as well as in his expression .
Then I heard four faint rumblings that sounded like air being released from a balloon . A toxic vapor seemed to fill the air .
Then things began to happen quickly . The passenger in front of us yelled for the stewardess. He hollered, " We have an electrical fire '.
The Lady across the aisle said ," I smell it too . Oh Lord We are on fire " . The stewardess called for all hands on deck as they franticly searched the over- head compartments for the fire .
The stewardess could not find the fire but did calm the alarmed passengers that the danger was past . The toxic smell was fading & most passengers were able to put away the oxygen masks .
The pilot announced that they could find no evidence of a fire but would have the plane checked out when we landed .
My Son did not have anymore Cokes or peanuts for the remainder of the trip .
