Flying "High" in the Sky

This past Monday a flight attendant appeared in court on the charges of being drunk while on duty. When she was being removed from the plane she told the pilot "You're dead." The stewardess admitted to drinking whisky on board the plane. One passenger was even threatening to press charges on the basis that the attendant wasn't sharing the goods. Alright so that part was a joke but I wouldn't be surprised if someone was thinking that.

Now how did she get the whisky on the plane? Was it already on? Did she sneak it on? Or judging by the way she was escorted off the plane, was she drugged? Hmmmm.

It's said that flying is one of the safest means of transportation. And it should be despite those thoughts of an engine failing and the plane falling thousands of feet. It's not a very comforting thought for me, who'll be flying to Boston next month, or anyone else to have flight attendants who are flying "high" in the sky.
