My trip to Washington, D.C. (Part 2 of 5) I noticed something was really rattling as the plane backed out of the terminal at Dulles International Airport so I immediately alerted the captain. He assured me that if something was really loose, it usually fell off in between 20 and 30 thousand feet. He may have thought that was funny, but he wasn’t laughing after I caused an hour delay, due to the puddle that had to be cleaned up near the cockpit after I wet my pants.
