What's this?

Not to be a grumpy gus, but I always wonder if these things actually happen


The lack of detail to corroborate the story always makes me pause. On our way to "a major hub". No dates. I guess there are just so many stories that people ask you to share that are made up to serve a purpose has made me a bit hesitant to believe things like this. Snopes says it's true, but based only on an "I'm the pilot and this really happened" email they received.

Doesn't mean this story didn't trigger the allergies a bit, but I still wonder if it really happened. Does it diminsh the impact of the story a bit if it's made up? Yeah, a little.
