Today nine people were rushed to hospital and dozens more had minor injuries when an Air Canada plane from BC (where I live)  made an emergency landing in Calgary on its way to Toronto.
In New Brunswick a few hours later another plane made an emergency landing moments after takeoff because a  big "non essential" piece of metal  fell off one of the  engines. 
THEN,  a short while after that, a helicopter went down 10 minutes  from my mothers house in  St Johns, Newfoundland! No lie, check the web!
I am at my moms visiting now and I fly back to Vancouver on Monday. I am on the east coast of the east coast and I have to fly something like 9 hours of actual airtime to get to the west coast.
I want to take a train or something now but it would take about 6 days. Plus Newfoundland is an island and there is trouble with the ferrys right now so just getting to the mainland is tricky. maybe i should stay here...

They don't call them Scareoplanes for nothing. A month after 911 I went the Scareport to get molested B4 I get on the plane. I look down at the Security Officer while as he ran his hand up thigh and said to him,"Yuh wish yuh had one big like this?" Since then they Xrays now. Oh and don't forget to validate your frequent flyer miles.
