«Turin, gets off the plane for love» (Corsera Web, 06.22.2024, 7.14 am)
***
Let’s face it, every now and then we need to smile (without becoming stupid, for goodness’ sake) in the face of the deluge of news or presumed news that overwhelms us on the web. And it is difficult not to smile, and imagine the scene, at the news of the man who, having boarded an Iberia plane bound for Madrid at Turin Caselle airport, then suddenly asked to get off, and got it, with the plane already in motion. taxiing and close to takeoff.
It’s all love’s fault. And a phone call. Plot: end of a story between two boyfriends, he who decides to leave and fly (forever?) to Madrid and she, who at the last moment, thinks better of it and makes him a phone call; «Don’t leave, stay with me in Turin». Shocking change of heart and request for the crew to get off. Discussion seems lively. And who knows what the scene must have been like. And how the rest of the passengers will have taken sides (because it is now fashionable to immediately be for or against, someone or something). Curses, in times of slaughter and increasingly acute intolerance, or smiles and applause (this time not for a soft take-off or landing)? The fact is that Cupid had shot his arrow again, this time on the cell phone, an instant before the warning to “put the device in airplane mode”.
In the end he – the reformed lover – made it, they let him off (Sagat, who manages Turin airport, explained that it is a procedure that can be used, on request) and he was able to run to meet his wife . How the love story will end… but we don’t necessarily have to look through the keyhole, ehh.
Rather, we prefer to think that in an era of homologation, and in love of give-and-take-and-give it up as if nothing had happened, it is nice that there may be those who think about it at the last minute and go beyond the protocols, the anger, the jealousy. , the patterns and … the plane tickets already purchased. Many film scenes bring to mind actors who leave each other forever, in a poignant way, in a station, in an airport. And when love ends, the journey is often a seal that certifies the breakup. Not this time, if “a phone call saves your life” (the refrain is from an unforgettable telephone company advertisement) of him and her together, perhaps we will never know. It is not needed. Smiling every now and then and dreaming a little is good for everyone.
Ps. The plane to Madrid landed an hour late. Hopefully without serious harm to anyone. This time – at least – not due to traffic in the skies and turbulence.
