“We are making an emergency landing” is not a phrase I ever want to hear while flying. It happened to Shashi Bellamkonda on a flight from Washington DC to Boston, and instead of panicking and screaming, “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!” he did what any digital marketing mogul would do – he live tweeted the entire event.
Bellamkonda’s plane made a safe landing after smoke began coming out of the cabin’s vents, and air pressure dropped. Bellamkonda’s tweets circulated the web in real-time, showing his followers photos of passengers donning oxygen masks, standing on the tarmac after landing in Delaware, and eating pizza while waiting for a new plane to arrive.
