Jo says he was trying to sleep when he started noticing smoke and heard flight crew running around, slamming overhead compartments … and he knew something was wrong.
Fortunately, Jo says the flight crew did a great job handling an emergency situation … and it sounds like it didn’t hurt to have a former flight attendant family member traveling with him too.
Jo’s whole story here sounds super stressful … but check out the clip, he tells us the joke his son made that helped ease the tension.
