Have you ever wondered why the general public doesn’t always ask questions or don’t do research? Ever double check yourself and you find out you would have been dead because you didn’t check?

Case in point, I had left my keyboard with a lithium battery in my checked in luggage, and it had an lithium battery in it. I googled it and I said, “Oh no.” So I rushed back to my gate, because I knew that if I didn’t do that, we would have been dead. Everyone on the plane. Including myself so I was glad to run back. Even though I was exhausted, I knew that when I checked I had saved the lives of myself and everyone else on the plane. Luckily United understood and they accommodated me. They thanked me for remembering and took me to the front of the line through baggage claim, and I got to get on the flight. Once you do research, it can save your life.

Ever have a situation like this happen to you? Thoughts? As my friend said, “what a way to bring in the holidays.”
