21. Back when airlines gave a damn, I was on a flight that turned around ...

That must have been close to 30 years ago when I still lived in Hawaii. We took off from LAX and an hour or so into the flight a woman experienced heart difficulties -- possibly a heart attack, possibly not -- and they announced to us that they were going to go back to LAX, since it would be faster than proceeding to Honolulu. I can assure you that none of the rest of us had a problem with that. I, for one, felt reassured that the crew cared whether someone lived or died while on their airplane.

This country has gone nuts.
