I came back from Florida in a Virgin 747 and when we got to Gatwick, around 9:00 am the pilot said that because of the many flights coming and going, we would have to circle for some time. About five minutes later we landed. As we turned off the runway I looked behind and there were loads of fire appliances following us. Don't know what it was, no-one told us why.

And then, on my next flight to Paphos we were coming in to land when the plane suddenly veered off to the right back over the med and started circling. Apparently one of the flaps was stuck. Anyway the pilot decided to chance it and we came into land with the right wing higher than the left. We landed okay and then again I saw fire appliances following us down the runway. The then Mrs Pirate who came to collect me stated that as she approached the airport she was overtaken by fire appliances on blue lights making for the airport.

These things prolly happen all the time, they just don't tell us  scared2:

Quite true. I work for a company responsible for booking cargo onto the flights for a fairly major airline, the tales we hear would make your hair curl.

What you don't know can't hurt you, or at least you won't feel anything.
