WHO’S FLYING YOU?

Australians can be a strange lot, but even they expect to have safety when they get on an airplane. Unfortunately, one Quantas Airlines employee wasn’t on the same wavelength as these folks, as a recent report revealed.

Pilot Bryan Griffith admitted that he has had several very strong compulsions to crash the jumbo passenger jets of which he was at the helm. There were even instances when he had to restrain himself from bringing down a plane full of trusting travelers, for reasons he didn’t understand. Still, Griffith flew for the better part of three years, with those onboard his planes totally unaware of his troubling urges. His career ended only when he finally resigned.

Unbelievably, Quantas had allegedly had some inkling about the former pilot’s instability, but let him continue in his job anyway.

Yet another reason to spend an entire flight biting your nails to a nub.
