Forgot what forum I read this but someone flew to Mexico and some paperwork expired preventing them from flying back to the states and they had to leave the plane in Mexico… I wouldn’t want to fly there with all the corruption.
Hi Dave
Did you hear the one about the elderly, couple, on vacation? Only 5 years ago.
At the 3rd Airport, they landed and turn into the fuel dock to be greeted by ten uniformed men holding what looked to them as machine guns.
Shouting to get out of the plane hand up.
The wife was hysterical with fear and the husband could not get her to move, let alone let him get out, which only escalated the threats with them holding the gun on the plexiglass to her head screaming at her they will shoot.
Finally, the Husband got his hand around her to unlatch the door.
They tore her out of the plane and threw her on the ground. Bloody her face, hands, and legs.
Same treatment for the husband.
I would NOT like to fly in or to that country either.
It was mistaken identity of course and the United States TSA apologized profusely.
There are horror stories I've heard about every country including ours.
If I let those stories stop me from living life to the fullest. I would have never sailed the 7 seas for 20 years exploring, and learning so many cultures without one horror story happening to me.
All my real-life traveling adventures all have happy endings.
Even the memory of my Son being stung by an Irukandji jellyfish which is one of the most dangerous organisms on Earth.
He lived through it. One of the few!!
