Flight From Hell - Part IV

All hands on deck!



That's me in the blurry picture kindly provided by a fellow passenger. I'm wearing the green shirt.

It really was a bizzare experience, and the cabin crew were very sympathetic, supplying us with napkins, buckets, and pillows to fend off the horrid drips.



Had the flight lasted any longer, no doubt KLM would have issued emergency umbrellas to beleaguered passengers.

As it was, the Purser provided us with coupons to get our clothes dry cleaned.

After the flight from hell, it was a relief to step into the rain in Amsterdam, getting slightly soaked as we tracked down the hire car.

Two hours later, we reached Eindhoven, exhausted!

As the drips became a torrent of nasty, brown oily liquid, the cabin crew sprung into action, providing us with buckets to protect ourselves from the downpour...



I am not joking!

Flight From Hell - Part II

It could be worse, and it was!


About an hour before we were due to land at Amsterdam, passengers in front of me noticed a brown colored oily liquid dripping down from the overhead compartments. We thought it was a broken bottle in someone's bag, but a check of the compartment showed nothing. Still the drip continued dripping...



The helpful cabin crew provided us with pillows to fend off the drips, while they stuck napkins to the area(s) where the drips seemed to be coming from. All to no avail as the drips got worse and became almost a flood.
