This could have happened to any plane belonging to any airline. I suppose she would rather be on an airline whose pilot just lets the plane flow into a field or a few dozen buildings. <br><br>It's too bad she wasn't on the Eastern Airline flight from Boston to Philadelphia in 1960, in which my neighbor Bob Frankenfield as among the 62 passengers killed, when the jet ran off the end of the runway and into the water.
