Woop woop! Too low : terrain. Pull Up.

The cockpit doors on MD80s aren't the most soundproof things in the world. On the last leg of my trip home last night, as the wheels left the ground, there was a warning siren in the cockpit, we dipped to the right and the cockpit voice alert started piping up about us being too low. We went around, landed, and then sat on the ramp for a while whilst the tech guys came out and fixed whatever had broken in the right engine as we took off. As a result, I didn't get home until about 1am this morning. So in all, the travel on this last trip was about the worst experience I've ever had whilst flying. The only thing that would have been the icing on the cake would have been if we'd been diverted to Heathrow last week instead of Manchester. If that had happened I think the whole aircraft would have communally topped itself.

Having said that, I'm travelling again this weekend, but it's in-country this time.
