Nightmare in Casablanca…

Today in Casablanca, we had a horrifying incident on the runway. As we were rushing down the runway at full speed and just about to take off, one of the tires of our plane blew out–sending the plane screeching, skipping, and veering off course. None of us in the cabin knew what was happening–as we flew forward (and left and right) in our seats–just at the moment when we were expecting to be in the air–not bumping up and down against the ground. As if that wasn’t traumatic enough, the real story–which I’m looking forward to telling–is the terrible way in which we were treated by Royal Air Maroc after we were forced to evacuate the plane and wait many hours for a new one to arrive. Travel tip of the day: don’t fly Royal Air Maroc…
