Passengers on a Lufthansa flight heard this announcement from
the captain, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you that
we have lost power to all of our engines and will shortly crash
into the ocean." The passengers were obviously very worried about
this situation, but were somewhat comforted by the captain's next
announcement. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we at Lufthansa have prepared
for such an emergency, and we would now like you to rearrange your
seating so that all the non-swimmers are on the left side of the
plane, and all the swimmers are on the right side."
After this announcement, all the passengers rearranged their
seating to comply with the captain's request. Two minutes later,
the captain made a belly landing in the ocean.
The captain once again made an announcement, "Ladies and Gentlemen
we have crashed into the ocean. All of the swimmers on the right
side of the plane, open your emergency exits and quickly swim away
from the plane. For all of the non-swimmers on the left side of
plane... "Thank You For Flying Lufthansa."
