After boarding the plane, taking their seats and awaiting takeoff, the passengers heard the flight attendant announce: “There will be a short delay. We are waiting for the pilots to arrive. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” Looking out of the windows, the passengers saw two men dressed in pilot uniforms and accompanied by seeing-eye dogs approaching the plane. Not knowing what to make of this, most of those on board assumed its some kind of joke. When the two men entered the cockpit with their dogs, nervous chuckles could be heard throughout the cabin. Although the plane taxied to the runway, picked up speed and began its takeoff in a normal fashion, the passengers looking out the windows saw that it was nearing the end of the runway and not lifting off. Immediately, sensing impending disaster, the entire cabin began screaming desperately. With only seconds to go before plunging into the water, the plane finally took off. In the cockpit, the pilot turned to the co-pilot and said: “You know, one of these days people are going to scream too late and we’re all going to die.”
