Nic fit causes plane crash...
Not really, but what if she had gotten the door open?
Sadrine Helene Sellies, 34, is terrified of flying. Many people fear flying, some to a greater degree than others. This woman is terrified of flying, and also has an apparently serious nicotine addiction.
While aboard a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Brisbane, MS. Sellies had an urge to light up that was so severe, she didn't even bother trying to tamper with the smoke detector in the lavatory. She went straight to one of the aircraft's emergency exits and fiddled with it, intent on stepping outside to have a smoke. A flight attendant intervened and escorted the woman back to her seat.
At least she was being considerate of her fellow passengers' right to a smoke free environment.
In a Brisbane Magistrates Court, Sellie's defense attorney entered a plea of guilty to the charge of endangering the safety of an aircraft. Magistrate Gordon Dean imposed no sentence other than a "good behavior" bond of (AUS) 1,000 dollars-- which is basically what she will have to pay if she gets in trouble with the law in the next 12 months.
Magistrate Dean issued a stern warning: "You must understand, if you are on a plane you must behave yourself."
Sellies, who does not speak English said through an interpreter that she had no recollection of the incident, because she had taken sleeping pills with alcohol. She also told the court that she had a history of sleep walking.
If someone had tried that on an American flight, they more than likely would have been locked up for a very, very long time... if they weren't beaten to a bloody pulp by other passengers first.
