I hate flying and something odd happened..?
I was on a SWA flight from Phoenix to Albuquerque this evening and something odd happened halfway through the flight. A really loud noise was heard, almost like something exploded beneath the plane and the plane shook. Everyone looked at each other and there was a brief silence. Has anyone experienced something like that on a flight before? I travel to Phoenix on SWA once a month and I have never heard that type of noise before....it didn't even seem like the normal turbulence either. I hate flying!!!

Maybe a bomb went off..

I could have been about 25 different things, 24 of which were not life threatening. When a rollon bag hits the center isle the thud and bang carries from one end of the plane to the other. If a heavy bag falls in the back of the plane and hits the floor, we feel it up front in the cockpit on occasion. The hydrulic pump can recycle. The pressurization system can make some strange and loud noises. Meal/drink carts can slam into stoppers in their parking spaces. I could go on.....

Flying is still safe, do not worry. Anyway, you can check it out with the pilots in the cockpit during disembarking. Let the pilots explain what is wrong to you. But for safety reason, you should notify the Flight Attendant about the sound you have heard and ask them to pass the message to the Captain. Many accidents start from ignoring minor problems such as from a little smokes in the toilet of Air Canada Flight 797, the plane finally exploded after emergency landing killing 23 on board that failed to evacuate themselves. Remember, you are the passenger and you pay for the ticket. You have the right to find out what is wrong from the crew members. If they have failed to satisfy you, switch to other airline then.

I would be very reluctant to fly on SWA and most other airlines. My reasons would be the very poor quality passenger experience. To me, sitting in the cabin of an SWA Seven Three isn't flying. It's equivalent to taking the bus, at best.

You are sitting at your computer typing, so I guess it was no big deal. Quit flying if you hate it so much.
