My Post 8 and
...if the rubber jungle did not come down, she was good to fly
In our case (744) most of the rubber jungle came down, many ceiling panels, and luggage flew out of lockers which had burst open. People complained of sore necks, knees, backs and other parts.
People were demanding that the cabin crew have an announcement made from the flight deck. The response brought back from the flight deck was:
"It would not be British to comment on the operation of the aircraft". Cue considerable anger and ire directed against the Company, the cabin crew and the flight deck crew. With my very limited knowledge of the aircraft I suggested that the Captain be advised that a check of the airframe would not be out of order.
Nothing heard.
The flight continued to Philly, some people left the flight, it departed on schedule and arrived safely.
In hindsight I should have got off with my family too.
