Skyviper 1,101 Posted November 4, 2016 Quoted from TIFU I was running a bit late for a long-haul flight from Delhi to London, so I quickly bought some snacks and shoved them in my travel bag as I ran to the boarding gate. About 4 hours in (whilst half the people were asleep and the other half were getting annoyed that the TVs had stopped working), there was a massive bang and the whole plane launched into hysteria. I can't even explain how loud it was, especially given the plane was in near silence. Immediately, every baby started screaming as loudly as they could and every mother started crying madly. It didn't help that it was pitch black either, so all the flight crew running around amongst the panicking masses couldn't see where they were going at all, so just ran straight into all the passengers as they jumped out of their seats. The people who had been sleeping woke up to a scene normally saved for badly produced films and needless to say also began manically hyperventilating. After a few minutes of sheer terror, the lights came back on and everyone gradually calmed down. My travel bag was revealed as the source of the blast - obviously to my surprise - and was carefully opened. Tons of what looked like sawdust/powder fell out onto the chairs below and once again everyone freaked out for a few seconds. As it turns out, in India they hyper inflate their crisp/chip packets so the contents don't get crushed. They're also dirt cheap, so I bought about 8 packets (those were the snacks I'd grabbed in a rush earlier). The pressure built up as we ascended, and when the plane jolted from the turbulence, they all blew up simultaneously. And that is how I accidentally triggered a bomb scare on an international flight.

+Nightshade/PR 7,951 Posted November 4, 2016 I'm sure I was not the only one laughing my a$$ off at this. And then I let my mind visualize it...........................and promptly laughed even harder. I loved this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skyviper 1,101 Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah I too visualize things when people write them or tell them to me. (probably why I suck at writing stories ... I tell too much they say.) So you have the bang and then the anthrax-like substance. I was howling when I read this. I could visualize the scene very well. I haven't a good laugh in a while and I so needed that.
