There are certain things you don’t want to see on an airplane.
Near the top of the list you’re likely to find: holes in the damned ceiling!
(See it? Over there, on the left, above the guy with dark hair.)
To be fair, it’s not a gaping hole, letting in rain and birds, and letting out air, seats and passengers. It’s just a loose ceiling tile, and is probably more a cosmetic flaw than a structural one.
Even so, visible defects are a bit discomforting. I mean, if I can look up and see something wrong with the plane, what’s wrong with it that I can’t see? Loose bolts, missing screws, rats in the pantry… It’s probably not a train of thought that should be followed too far. It’d likely make one never want to fly again. And being in Korea my travel options are kind of limited. Then again, there is that cool hydrofoil ferry that runs from Busan to Fukuoka….Anyways, I’m crossing Korean Air off my “preferred carrier” list. I didn’t have their air miles card, so it’s no great loss.
