I had to post on this
I have been in an airline 'incident', though it was many years ago, but I'll never forget the absolute fear that I experienced.
A blogger was on board Alaska Airlines Flight 536. You must read his story.
I'm very happy the plane made it to safety, I think I would have had a stroke in the same situation.
What is truly amazing, though, is the rancor and meaness with which many comments to his post contain. Where do these trolls come from?

I was amazed at how quickly the comments turned from nitpicking to nasty. Perhaps the fact that the worst of them came from an IP within the airline itself explains some of the motivation although I didn't think the post was all that critical of the airline. I thought it was amazingly coherent from some one who had so recently survived the event.

They live under rocks. Any time you kick one over...
