I was walking to the airport with my wife. I had bought a ticket for myself in advance however, for some reason, I had not booked a ticket for my wife. I decided to try and book a ticket for her at the airport and she agreed. We managed to buy the ticket.
It was a very small passenger plane. Able to fit only 20 people! There were two planes. Roohi and I were on the second plane to depart. As we watched the first plane take off, it got half way into the air and began to fall back down to the runway - backwards! It was too heavy! Then our plane took off and the same thing happened.
The organisers of the flight gathered the passengers around and announced that people had been exceeding the weight limit for their luggage.
I looked at Roohi who was nicely packed into her seat with her luggage. She said its not her. I handed my red bag of luggage to the flight organiser to check its weight - as i knew it was way under! however, he said its o.k. without weighing it - trusting that I was underweight.
I decided to check inside my bag anyway, just in case my luggage had anything extra inside that was unneeded. Upon looking inside i noticed that the bottom of the bag had a false base and underneath it was some of Roohi's clothes from a previous trip! It had not been taken out! Furthermore, I had some heavy ski boots inside my luggage. I took them out along with the unneeded clothes. My bag was much lighter and the plane could now take off - just about!
