Trouble in the Sky

As someone who flies often, I found this particular story very interesting:



Every time I get on a plane I'm afraid I'll end up having to sit next to someone loud, obnoxious or squishing me into my seat from the left or right, so my heart goes out to anyone in a 20 seat radius of this disaster...

Granted the kids are handicapped, but after reading comments on this story from parents of children with the same disabilities, I can't help but side with the airline on this one.

I found a great comment here:

"After reading the stories and seeing the various videos of this crew, I've decided that this was NOT a real family, but a "reality show". They picked the "participants" from central casting. We have the obese trash "mother" with four unruly "kids", the meth-teeth "sister", five months pregnant and smoking. We have the "father", meeting the crew in Seattle, complete with mullet and 70's-porn mustache. Then, to top it all off, we have the "grandmother", named BOBBY something, who's obviously just come from the local lesbian-bar with her "significant other"!

The producers of this "show" should be congratulated. Real life could NOT be this real!"

I know that there's going be some sort of cruel karmic joke on me when I fly from Brazil to Boston in a few weeks!
