"All of a sudden the wind was whipping through the plane." -Calley Cutler "All of a sudden the wind was whipping through the plane," Calley Cutler, of Salem, N.H., told the Boston Globe. "I was never so scared in my entire life." Cutler and her husband were aboard Cape Air's eight-person Cessna 402 for the Aug. 11 flight. After the incident, the plane returned to Boston's Logan International Airport. It was found to be safe, and the flight went on to Nantucket. Cape Air spokeswoman Michelle Haynes said the passengers were never in danger. "It can be a bit disconcerting for passengers when they hear the noise coming from outside, but this was not an emergency by any stretch of the imagination," she said. The FAA met the plane upon its return to Logan and determined that the door hadn't been properly locked, FAA spokeswoman Arlene Salac said. The plane, its door locked, then departed and flew safely to Nantucket. The Cutlers, however, were so shaken that they took a ferry back to the mainland. Roy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dougiefresh 0 #2 August 27, 2004 I dunno, I would be scared if the door opened and I wasn't wearing my rig... especially at that altitude, even if I was wearing my rig I'd have to ride it down if it were an emergency.Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
