First class passenger sparks security scare after asking a flight attendant this bizarre question: ‘Unbelievable'
There are some things that are off-limits even to first class fliers. On the Delta Reddit page, a traveler recently revealed that a simple question asked by a passenger in seat 1B sparked a security scare on board their red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale. As cabin service began, the man allegedly pulled aside one of the flight attendants and asked about an apparent new procedure. A first-class passenger asked a flight attendant a question that was met with skepticism. DC Studio – 'Hey, totally random question, but on my last couple flights I noticed the [flight attendants] did not block access to the galley when the pilot used the lavatory. Is this a new procedure for you guys?' the person asked, according to the Redditor who was sitting in the nearby seat. That flight attendant did not answer the question and rather said that it was 'news' to them, then proceeded to report the conversation to the cabin manager. According to the Reddit user, the cabin manager approached the passenger and informed them that they could not discuss 'access procedures for the flight deck' for security purposes. The passenger responded, 'Oh, excuse me, I didn't realize I wasn't able to ask questions,' to which the cabin manager reportedly replied, 'I can answer most questions, but I cannot answer questions related to the security of the aircraft.' When the passenger inquired why the flight attendant couldn't answer a security-related question, the cabin manager allegedly said, 'Seriously? You know why. Don't you remember 9/11? We cannot talk about that stuff. So thank you for letting us know what you observed on your prior flights.' Later on, when the pilot used the lavatory, the poster noted that two of the flight attendants from the rear were called up to block the galley, and 'one of them stared at 1B the entire time.' 'Unbelievable this guy can't understand why it might be suspicious for the passenger seated in one of the two closest possible seats to the flight deck door to ask about galley obstructions procedures,' the original poster wrote. Flight attendants are trained to be hyper-aware of any behavior that might be deemed suspicious and could be a potential threat to cause harm to the pilot, fellow passengers or the plane.

The Miracle Stories of Lone Plane Crash Survivors Include a 33,000-Feet Fall
Indian media are reporting that a British national named Viswashkumar Ramesh has walked away from the Air India plane crash as the lone survivor out of 242 people on the aircraft. It's a miracle, to be sure, confirmed by a police official, and now the passenger from seat 11A joins a short list of lone survivors who somehow lived through a major plane crash. They survived major plane crashes - in one case a 33,000-foot fall - and then survived the horrors of the ocean and a a small list, but the stories are astonishing. Vesna Vulovic Vulovic was one of the most astonishing stories in aviation history. According to BBC, she was a flight attendant "who survived the highest ever fall by a human being after her plane broke up at 33,000 feet." She was "working on a Yugoslav Airlines Douglas DC-9 on 26 Jan 1972 when a suspected bomb brought the plane down among mountains in Czechoslovakia," BBC reported, adding that all of the 27 other people on the plane died. How did Vulovic survive a fall of such magnitude? She "was trapped by a food cart in the plane's tail section as it plummeted to earth" and landed in a "snow-blanketed part of a mountainside, which was thought to have cushioned the impact." Vulovi died at age 66 in 2016. "I was broken, and the doctors put me back together again," she told the New York Times in 2008, according to BBC. "Nobody ever expected me to live this long." Juliane Koepcke The 17-year-old survived plummeting 3,000 meters to the ground in a plane crash, according to ABC Australia. That's 9,842 feet. She fell into the Peruvian rainforest. "A wild thunderstorm had destroyed the plane she was travelling in and the row of seats Juliane was still harnessed to twirled through the air as it fell," the Australian news site reported. The LANSA Flight 508, carrying 99 people, crashed in 1971, the site reported. Larisa Savitskaya According to El Pais, Savitskaya survived "a fall from 5,220 meters (more than 17,000 feet) holding onto a fragment of an aircraft." She and her husband were returning from their honeymoon in 1981 on Aeroflot Flight 811 when the plane "collided mid-air with a Tupolev Tu-16K strategic bomber over Amur Oblast in the Soviet Union, which is now Russia," El Pais reported. Only 20, she survived an "eight-minute fall and crashing into trees" as well as "three days out in the open with her injuries," but Soviet officials tried to hide the miracle from the public, El Pais reported of the crash that killed 37 people. A documentary revealed her story. 'Now I am good, I am a happy person,' she says, according to El País. Bahia Bakari At age 12, Bakari survived "the 2009 Yemenia Airways crash in the Comoros islands that killed all 152 others onboard," Africa News reported. The girl plunged "into the ocean" but lived to testify against the airline, the site reported. "I started to feel the turbulence, but nobody was reacting much, so I told myself it must be normal," Bakari said later, Africa News reported. "I felt something like an electric shock go through my body." She ended up holding onto a piece of plane debris in the water. "There's a black hole between the moment when I was seated in the plane and the moment I found myself in the water," she said, Africa News reported, adding that her mother died in the tragedy. Annette Herfkens Herfkens was the lone survivor on a plane that crashed on a journey "from Ho Chi Minh City to the Vietnamese coast," The Guardian reported. She was traveling with her fiancé on the plane, which carried 31 people. The Guardian described the horrific scene: "The plane had crashed into a mountain ridge. A stranger lay dead upon her." Her fiance "a little way off, lay back in his seat, also dead, a smile upon his lips." She was almost too scared to get on the plane. She had horrific injuries: "12 broken bones in her hip and knee alone; her jaw was hanging; one lung had collapsed," The Guardian reported. Huang Yu In 1948, "four armed Chinese men hijacked 'Miss Macao', a Catalina seaplane operated by a Macau Air Transport Company," resulting in the plane "crashing into the Zhujiang River estuary, killing all but one of the 27 people on board. This was the first recorded hijacking," reported Transport Security International magazine. According to the magazine, police interviewed "35-year-old, Huang Yu, who told them that when the plane was near Jiuzhou, the nose of the aircraft exploded suddenly." He said he "lost consciousness," but was wearing a life vest and there were problems with his story, the site Miracle Stories of Lone Plane Crash Survivors Include a 33,000-Feet Fall first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025
