lets see if they can pull the same stunt on their way back ...
just to add to this.... I am not upset cause its a Brommy and not a Dahon Curve Jifo EEzz or whatever.
I have been in a flight where the pilot made some miscalculations and flew more or less straight into a Tornado which was on the ground... The plane ( 737 from San Francisco to Indianapolis ) almost crashed, pretty violent maneuvers to stay in the air ... the tornado was just going over the Indy Airport when we were suppossed to land ... I guess...
Anyhow, all but one of the overhead bins opened and the content was flying around inside the plane, including a stewardess who wasnt buckled into her seat ( she broke an arm .... and ?) The carry on stuff, hit people in the head while flying forward. Some were injured but everybody walked away ( more or less)
I hate to think that my bike would land on a child sitting 5 rows in front of the overhead bin.
again its NOT about Brommies its about disregarding other peoples health ( besides its plain out illegal )
