will.i.am's travel nightmare in Hong Kong
will.i.am suffered a travel scare on Wednesday (30Nov11) when the Black Eyed Peas star's flight from Hong Kong was briefly grounded due to a safety concern.
The I Gotta Feeling hitmaker was preparing for take off onboard a plane bound for the States when the pilot announced a problem with the aircraft - prompting the rapper to pray for his life.
In a series of tweets, will.i.am wrote, "The airplane was about to
take flight in hong kong and the pilot stopped 1second before
flight...777 jumbo jets stop fast...i prayed...
"The pilot said the cargo door was left open & they realized just
seconds B4 (before) lift off...'my angels & my grandmas prayers
keep me safe'..."
The plane issue was quickly resolved, and will.i.am has praised the
pilot for spotting the open door before it became a serious
problem.
He added, "All safe now...about to fly...12hrs (hours)...(This is
when I sleep)...good night... this pilot should (be) applauded and
celebrated...he kept us safe...LOVE and LIGHT".
