I was told by a panic stricken passenger once that the wing was falling apart. It took me a while to realize that we had just climbed through a mod layer of ice and blew the boots when we punched out throught the tops. She had seen the ice shed off and thought the wing was falling apart.

I had another passenger ask me why we were traveling west when our destination was east. He was watching the magnetic compass which is mounted next to the electricaly heated windshield. It was a good catch on his part, although flawed.
