Awesome: Passenger fixes the airplane he’s flying on
Here’s a can-do tale of awesome from the BBC: Passenger fixes faulty airliner:
Passengers on Thomas Cook flight TCX9641 from Menorca were told to expect an eight-hour wait while an engineer was flown out from the UK.
One passenger then identified himself as a qualified aircraft engineer and offered to try to remedy the fault.
He was successful, and the plane landed in Glasgow only 35 minutes late.
