Dream Job = Air-Stewardess?
Turkish Airlines crash near Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam about a week ago. It is such a big news after the 9-11 incident. Turkish -> Europe, some may have thought it is some sort of terrorist again? And my boyfriend was in Netherlands at that time and he was about 45mins away from Amsterdam, was worried if it will effect some flight delay during the weekend when he is suppose to catch a flight back home.
Plane breaks into 3 pieces!
Isn’t it scary? Imagine if you were in the flight! I’m sure its all panicky, and screaming aloud, but I think prior to that I would have say my prayers quietly in my heart. Thinking back I always do that, during both take off and landing. Specially with budget airlines when things are not that stable, it always feels better after a prayer is whispered. (Haha, cos sometimes it feels like a roller-coster ride – minus the screaming 
)
Due to the time difference, it was on the newspaper frontpage on Thursday morning, only then i got to know about it. Malaysia time about 4pm only, Jack came online and got to know from him that they already knew it on Wednesday itself, as it happens NL time about 10-11am. And on Thursday morning, I was teasing one of colleague who will be departing for ICANN, Mexico on Friday nite, via KLM transit in Amsterdam, Schiphol and the crash just happened! haha…freaky

2.5 months ago I was at the Schiphol, Amsterdam airport too, so I could imagine the fear I would have got if this recent case just happened! In the Turkish Airline crash, if I am not mistaken none of the Cabin Crew survived, not even the pilot or co-pilot. I guess they thought everything is going to be just fine as any other day, part and parcel of their daily job, but who would have thought? “Cabin Crew, please be seated, we are preparing for landing” That’s what the Pilot/co-pilot would announce about 15mins prior to the landing. As announced today, after the Dutch investigation, “Found that faulty altimeter caused the plane’s autopilot to shut down the engines as it made its approach to land. The Boeing 737-800 crashed a kilometre short of the runway, killing nine people on board. The plane’s black box showed that the altimeter also malfunctioned during two previous landings.” (Reports extracted from “www.dw-world.de”)
So afterall, I have decided it is not a safe dream job!
