sumting fishy and steamy about this story. how to drop a whole jug of hot coffee on abalone unless it’s a dish called coffee drenched and flavored steam abalone? first, those inflight coffee jugs are covered with shutoff unless pressed at the flap to open (to pour). second, the pouring is usually done away from passenger at the cart. third, who would be so careless and reckless to drop a whole jug on the lap of passenger? more likely the cup spilled when it was returned to passenger after pouring. if that was the case passenger’s lap would have a dark spot on groin area. no wonder crew laughed.
