for my Dad!
I had to put this in laughing because I nearly cried laughing when my Dad told me this. He is in Italy at the moment with my Mum on holiday, and he phoned me up today. He said that at the airport he bought a huge bag of crisps (potato chips) for the plane journey, he put them in his bag to take on the plane.
Him and my Mum were seated by the door of the plane, so the plane sets off and goes up in the air, it levels out and the hostesses get out of their seats when there is a massive explosion. My Dad said he fell out of his seat in fright, thinking the door was coming off, my Mum squealed and a few of the passengers were a bit nervous. The air hostess looked at my Dad and said "have you got a packet of crisps in your bag?" My Dad told her he had, and she laughed and said "well I think you will find that you may not have anymore"
When my Dad looked in his bag he found that his crisps had exploded in his bag and that is what the bang was!!
Have you ever had anything explode on you before now?
Have you ever had any scares on a plane before?

Wow...I didn't realise that would happen to a crisp packet but I suppose the pressure of the air in the bag would have had some reaction. Just shows you have to be careful with what food you try and sneak on the plane. I'm guessing your dad has learnt now that if he wants some crisps he will have to eat them before he gets on the plane or buy them after he lands!!

Yes it was down to the pressure from when the plane took off and that. Things like that always happen to my Dad!

This would be a little scary for sure. I guess something I need to remember before I fly again as well. I am not sure what I would think and how I would react if I was on a plane and heard a noise like this for sure. Glad that it was something minor like this for sure.

Oh, It must have been from the air pressure, then huh? The only thing I can think of that would qualify as exploding is a stubborn bag of potato chips not wanting to open, or a soda can that had been shook up, and splurged out a bit.
As for airplanes, never been on one, never plan to be on one.

I'm so sorry for coming in so late. However, thanks for sharing such a funny incident. But I think, had I been on that plane, I might also have utterly horrified by hearing that explosion.






That's awesome!
