Are recent airplane horror stories common?

A recent airplane horror story I came across was that of a pilot who fainted during the flight. The co - pilot had to take over suddenly, and there was chaos in the cockpit for a few moments. Then there was a situation where a false fire alarm went off in the plane. People panicked, but it turned out to be a malfunction in the alarm system. There was also a story about a plane that got lost in bad weather and had to deviate far from its original route, causing a lot of fuel concerns and scaring the passengers.

Well, privacy issues can be common too. Sometimes people might think there are peepholes or they hear strange noises from outside while they're in the bathroom. Also, the small space can contribute to horror. If you're a bit claustrophobic, being in that tiny airplane bathroom when something goes wrong, like the light flickering, can be really scary. It feels like you're trapped in a small box with potential problems all around you.

Engine problems are quite common. For example, sudden engine failure or overheating can lead to terrifying situations. Another common element is bad weather like violent storms or strong turbulence. Also, bird strikes are a recurrent theme in these stories.

Another common element is bad service. For example, the flight attendants being rude or not providing enough food and drinks. I had a flight where the attendant just ignored my requests for water.

One horror story is about a passenger finding a big spider on the wall of the airplane bathroom. It was huge and hairy, and the person was terrified and didn't know what to do. They were afraid it might jump on them while they were using the facilities.

One horror story is when there was a really bad storm during the flight. The plane was shaking violently. People were screaming. I thought we were going to crash. It was terrifying.

One horror story is that during a flight, suddenly there was extreme turbulence. Passengers were thrown around in their seats. Bags fell from the overhead compartments, hitting people. A lady was so terrified that she thought the plane was going to break apart. She started crying and praying loudly.

One of the most terrifying airplane crash horror stories is the Tenerife airport disaster. Two Boeing 747s collided on the runway. There was a thick fog that day which severely affected visibility. The miscommunication between the air traffic control and the pilots led to a disastrous situation. Hundreds of lives were lost in this accident.

Well, there might be a story where a bird strike occurred right after takeoff. The engines made a horrible noise and the plane started to lose altitude. Everyone on board was praying and bracing for a possible crash.

The suddenness is very scary. One moment everything is normal, and the next, you're being tossed around. It's like the floor has disappeared from under you.
