After the crash, Whip is hailed as a hero, but as more is learned, more questions than answers arise as to who or what was really at fault, and what really happened on that plane?

Here’s the trailer:

Looks great! There are many interesting things about the film, but for me it has got to be Zemeckis returning to live action filmmaking.

    Wasn’t a great day on the train when I was going home from work and I saw a guy’s collar moving who was sitting in front of me. I looked closer and saw that he was playing with two, large white rats. I’m not kidding, it sent shivers down my back!

    My friend’s pants belt broke when he was at work, he got on a crowded peak hour bus carrying a bunch of work material and his pants fell completely to the floor in front of everybody

    I was once followed off a bus on my way home from work from a man who claimed to be a “entertainment manager”with a very dubious business card, wanting to know if I was interested in modelling. Turns out he organises nude models for magazine shoots. What would my mother have though of that!!!

    When I flew V Australia to the USA, their song choice in the toilets included “Burning ring of fire” and “Bad moon rising”. Still makes me giggle :) .

    flying to new york 7 months pregnant and being very squashed in Economy. After the plane has taken off and seatbelts sign switched off normally people scramble for spare seats to get more room well the guy next to me didnt shift! I had to sit in this cramped unnatural position for the whole flight. Although he was asleep when the snacks were delivered so for payback i ate his as well!

    OMG! when I was a young 18 year old uni student, I always went home on the train with other girls from the uni because there was no parking on campus.

    We sat together and always saw seedy people.

    The MOST OUTRAGEOUS was Sydney’s well known “Crapper Harris” who used to throw his own poo and sometimes eat it, closing down large Sydney train stations, and police men chasing him in face guards and special, really thick rain coats. We used to laugh at that, even though he used to be quite a health hazard!

    THE FUNNIEST traveller was a guy about our age who well “spanked the monkey”, and caused us to change carriages at the next train station and caused us to loudly giggle so much we almost wet ourselves!

    Sydney trains… You never know what you are gunna get!

    There was a time when I was on a bus travelling down Oxford Street, Sydney, and I looked out the window to find…… a man dressed as a caveman, with a blow up doll under one arm and a blow up “club” in the other, running and waving all the way down Oxford Street.

    It would have to be the guy on the train that I saw bringing his own CHAIR!!!!! It was an office chair on wheels, so no doubt he was just stealing the chair to take home, but it was funny to speculate that public transport is now so crowded that you need to bring your own seat.

    Our flight in to Frankfurt was a behind schedule. The captain announced that as there were so many people who needed to make a connecting flight, he would try to make up time so would we put our seatblets on. Well he did make up time, coming to a fast sceeching halt as we landed. Everyone clapped and cheered and the passengers were asked to remain seated except those on a particular connecting flight that had been held for them. Hair-raising for me but think the captain must have had a real buzz.

    Happened to my husband and probably why he doesn’t catch trams anymore. He seems to attract the unwanted like Skyjoker on this page. This guy started chatting to my husband and brought out nude pictures of himself. Needless to say hubby likes to hoof it or take the train now.

    I made the mistake of taking the overnight ferry from Helsinki to Stockholm on a Friday night in the middle of summer. I thought I could go cheap and sleep in the general public sleeper seats. After 30 minutes of having drunk Finns trip over me and one person “pleasuring” himself behind me I gave up and went and paid full price for a berth in a cabin.

    Public transport isn’t the best place for racism. Especially when the person you’re with has a loud mouth and no filter.

    I was waiting to catch a bus to uni with a friend I’d known in high school. When the bus drove up and stopped, he watched from behind his glasses as a large mass of … members of a certain race…. barged in front of him and bottle-necked onto the bus.

    ‘Look at this.’ He said. ‘No manners. They don’t have any sense of space. It’s because there are so many of them in [...] that they don’t learn to respect other people’s space. God damn it.’

    We stepped on the bus, took a seat in a square of four seats that face each other, and he said no more about it. We talked some more the closer we got to uni until, for some reason, he again brought up the matter of ‘racial limitations of spatial coordination’ – as he put it. Nearly the whole bus was audience to my friend’s ranting – if I can call him a friend rather than a school acquaintance. I wanted to move as far away from his seat as I could. I knew this being audience to an entire bus was making me look the racist too. This was made worse because one of the people seated opposite us, facing us, was of the same ethnicity he was railing against. He knew she was sitting there too. And he went on at high volume listing his reasons for spatial ineptitude.

    At last he gestured at the poor girl looking at us and told her ‘I know you’re right there. I don’t care! The whole bus knows I’m a racist now. Whatever.’

    So I was on a plane once. I was relaxing minding my own bussiness. Then I hear a kid start breathing behind me. It gets louder and louder and faster and faster. Then I hear a women next to him yell “Jesus Phillip!”. As I discovered in the next 10 mintes Phillip a boy who seemed to be in his early teens running to the bathroom. Everything seemed normal at first but then as I was looking down at his trousers everything suddenly slowed down as I saw him running to the bathroom. A brownish liquid started leaking down his pants when was running. A slightly pitter patter of liquid brown number 2 lined his direction from where he sat to the bathroom of the airplane. Everyone one turned as then the smell started to seep into the plane. No one enjoyed this. The only show playing on the tv to take my mind off the smell in the plane was Kath and Kim. This made the trip all the worse. I hate public transport

    I was in 6th grade. Me and my little brother were on a bus after a long day at school. When we were sitting together in the back (the wide seat in the back that accommodates more people). A homeless man sat next to us. He looked at my little brother. He saw my little brothers hands had paint on them from art class. The homeless man said “you need to take better care with your fingers, keep them clean like my mine” the homeless man then proceeds to show my little brother his thingers which were jet black with soot. He then yells out “THUMMMBEEEEEE” and tries to stick it in my little brothers mouth. We both then ran out of the bus we never saw the homeless man again. For me this was the strangest story.

    I was on a Southwest airline flying from Washington DC to Oklahoma City. Before the flight took off, the flight attendant stood in front of the plane and announced via the PA system, “Welcome everybody. Now, we have a very special guest onboard, I know some of you have noticed her, she’s seated right at the back. I know she’s very popular but please do not disturb Oprah.”

    By this time, of course, everyone on that plane was alert and all our heads swung back to try to catch a glimpse of her.

    The attendant continued, “Now that I have your full attention, please look forward back to me and I’ll demonstrate the important safety instructions.”

    She’d pranked us! We all had a good laugh.

    I always had bad luck with “crazy religious people”, for some reason I attract them even I don`t follow any religion (I only pray to Crom, Odin and Thor)…Once while on the bus an old dude with a bible just jumped in without paying his ticket and started to bring “the word of God” to the passengers and he looked at me and my arm (I was wearing a shirtless tshirt…I’d like 20 kilos less that’s why ok!) and he saw my Pearl Jam tatoo, reason enough for him to start yelling at me like crazy: “This guy has the devil on his skin…he change the body God gave him with cheap ink from Satan, he is a sample of why fire will fall from the sky to announce the end of the days until God came to save us all again”.

    Al the passengers were looking at me like he was guilty of something, so I stoped the crazy guy and told him: “well at least I paid my ticket, isn`t one of the laws of God: Don`t steal?…well you are stealing since you jumped on the bus for free!” and all the bus started to clap…while the crazy guy started to cursed me again…and at the first red light he ran way, while a dude with a Heavy Metal tshirt of Cannibal Corpse comes to me and told me: “Hey mate…lucky me he didn`t see my t-shirt” ha ha ha.
