I was flying from Ukraine to New York, 13 hours straigh, and when we got to JFK the weather was pretty bad - raining, heavy clouds fog etc. The pilot had been circling above the airport for like 30 minnutes unable to land. Then the fucking fuel ran out. I shit you not. The damn stuardesses were runing around pale as a wall, but they had told nothing to the passangers. So after the fuel ran out (not completely, we had just a little bit left) the pilot turned off the engines and we had to "glide" down - fuck that was so god damn scary, i seriously though that it was it.
Anyway, after of several minnutes of "free-fall" with occaisional bursts from the engines we sucessfully touched down and all the passangers started clapping their hands and cheering.
anyway, it was pretty scary.
