French investigators have released a new report cataloging a comedy of errors that led to a terrified 64-year-old man being flung through the air.

This thread title sounds like a euphemism.

Hunh. Wow. I mean, I can get it. I guess they are 'lucky' that both didn't go, as they were supposed to? I wonder if this would be quite as amusing if it'd cost them the jet.

I thought passengers were supposed to stay seated with their seat belts fastned until the plane arrives safely at the gate.

But then some ####### might get his bag out of the overhead compartment before you and it'll be a cold day in hell before I let that happen.

Surprised to see the man was 64 years old. I though premature ejection was more of an issue in younger men.

Listen, when you are French and in a piece of military gear headed for the German border, cultural instinct is inevitable.

What the hell were his colleagues thinking? It sounds like this was never a bucket list thing for the guy and that they wanted to basically scare him enough to crap his pants. The guy obviously didn't want to do it so I'm not sure why we went ahead with it as who cares the trouble his colleagues went through as I'm not sure they had his best intentions in mind anyway. He almost died because he didn't want to be rude.

That doesn't sound very French of him.
