Orange Wing Tank

Orange Wing Tank
Have you ever heard this said when you were on a plane ?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.

If you look out of the window on the port, or left, side of the aircraft you will see that the inner engine is on fire just below the fuel tanks in the wing. If you look out at the starboard, or right, wing you will observe that a widening crack has developed at the wing root, making it unlikely that the wing will remain attached to the fuselage.

If you look down at the surface of the sea over which the aircraft is flying, you will notice a small orange dot. This is a life-raft. In it are your co-pilot, your flight engineer and myself.

This has been a recorded announcement."

The one I heard years ago was the person who looked up and saw John Wayne walking down the aisle carrying two gasoline cans while whistling the theme song to "The High and The Mighty".
