Let's Hope My Flight Today Goes a Bit Better Than Yesterday's Flight From Hell

What kinda swag are you looking at when you complain about your daughter being pissed on mid-flight?

Fox News - Chaos erupted on a JetBlue red-eye flight from Portland, Ore., to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport when a drunk man allegedly urinated on a sleeping 11-year-old girl, the New York Post reports. The youngster was traveling with her sister and father on the flight Wednesday, and had been left alone for a few minutes while the others used the lavatories. Robert Vietze, 18, of South Warren, Vt., stumbled from his seat five rows behind her and emptied his bladder, a witness said. "I was drunk, and I did not realize I was p***ing on her leg," Vietze said, according to law-enforcement sources. He later claimed to have consumed eight alcoholic beverages. The girl's father caught Vietze midstream. "I woke up to this man yelling and literally looking like he was about to punch [Vietze] in the face," said the witness, who asked not to be identified. Flight attendants separated the pair and moved Vietze to the back of the plane. They attempted to clean up the mess with liquid soap from the bathrooms, and helped to comfort the traumatized girl. But the five-and-a-half hour flight from hell was not over yet. Roughly an hour before the plane landed, another passenger began to complain of chest pains, then vomited. "Is anybody on this flight a nurse or a doctor?" the pilot said over the public-address system. "We have a medical emergency." With no volunteers, the flight crew kept the man calm and tried to tidy him up, again raiding the liquid-soap container.

Good news is, this can't possibly happen two days in a row, right? So my trip should be relatively uneventful.

First of all, what's with the flight crew pretending like liquid hand sanitizer is some kinda magic 'Tussin, wiping that shit all over the place, piss stains, vomit stains, heart attack victims, I don't get it...Like the girl's traumatized, take it easy with the frigen soap and help calm her down. This article makes it sound like all the problems in the world will be solved with a little liquid soap, meanwhile that guy probably died a couple hours later because all they gave him was some Purell.

Second of all, how awkward of a situation are we talking about at the baggage claim carousel for this flight?  Robert Vietze, the drunk bro just waiting for his bags while this girls Dad is just straight fuming, standing like two inches away giving him the death stare, Drunky-Mcgee trying his hardest to pretend he doesn't see him.  I'd have paid upwards of $20 to watch that situation play out.
