Sometimes a story comes along that is just too good to be true. This is one of them...
"Alexander Cheplevsky sparked panic on flight Aeroflot 315 when he began to speak. His slurred and garbled comments ahead of a Dec. 29 flight from Moscow to New York convinced passengers that he was drunk. When he apparently switched from Russian into unintelligible English, fear turned to revolt (FoxNews)."
Now, we have read lots of stories like this. The pilot is drunk, and the news crew tells us what a horrible person he is, and so on, but this is where this story gets great.
"Flight attendants initially ignored passengers' complaints and threatened to expel them from the Boeing 767 jet unless they stopped "making trouble" (FoxNews)."
So, this guy is slurring his words, and switching languages, yet the flight attendants seem to think he is fine. It doesn't end there though. One of the flight attendants then announces to the passengers that this is...
"Not such a big deal if the pilot was drunk because the aircraft practically flew itself".
Fantastic! You have to love Russians, they do everything drunk, so nothing seems like a big deal.
"I don't think there's anyone in Russia who doesn't know what a drunk person looks like," Katya Kushner, one of the passengers, told the Moscow Times.
Awesome.
