Fear of Flying
 

Channel 4 staff and other TV types flying to the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival yesterday found themselves in an episode of Lost.

Waiting patiently on the tarmac for the flight to take off, they were told by the pilot that the plane had been struck by lightning before arriving at Heathrow and the crew were just trying to decide if they could take off with a, er, hole in the fuselage.

Apparently, all that could be heard in business class was people frantically calling their PAs, demanding that they "get me off this bloody flight!"
