Two years ago I was on a flight with a friend, we were coming in to land and only about 300 foot off the ground the plane suddenly accelerated and climbed in what was clearly an unplanned emergency. The baggage compartments fell open, the engines roared, the plane climbed at an angle that I had never experienced in years of flying. Passengers were screaming and the cabin staff were noticeably silent. After about a minute we gained height and the pilot announced there had been "a slight problem" and that he "was busy on the flight deck so he could not speak" but there "was no cause for concern." No one believed him but what could we do? We gained height and then flew around in circles for what seamed an age. Eventually we descended to try and land again (who wants a pilot to have a second go at landing a plane?) As we got to about 300 foot off the ground the plane compartment was silent with 300 terrified passengers. My friend then shouted "Brace, brace, brace" at the top of his voice.
How he never got beaten up by other passengers or arrested as we got off the plane I will never know but I honestly think this is the worse thing anyone could have said.
This is a true story and your question hit a nerve when In heard it.

Hi to your friend Jack sitting at the back of the plane.
In all seriousness I think it would be along the lines of 'is there a doctor on board.' My mother was on a flight when this was called a few times and it was evident there wasn't but she is a trained nurse so spoke up. She went on to give CPR (or at least preten to) to a man who had died from a heart attact whilst his wife screamed hysterically. The man had died instantly but she had to be seen trying. They then had to land early so he could get of the plane. That would be awful.

"Allāhu Akbar " in a very thick Arab accent....this might cause concern since this phrase is usually spoken right before something gets blown to bits or a person is getting their head sawed off with a knife.......

'Right ladies and gentlemen, our in flight entertainment tonight is Mel Brook's 'Dracula- Dead and loving it' starring Leslie Nielson.'
I love Leslie Nielson but even he couldn't make that film, with that script, watchable.
