That is so true! I hadn't thought of that. A similar thing happened to me (while traveling alone) once during a flight from Columbus to NY. The small plane I was on had an unexpected drop. I was carrying a cup of Mocha, and even with the lid on, that hot coffee went up on the ceiling, and all over me. It was a very scary experience, and luckily everyone on the plane was buckled in. I thought we were going to die. Well, I can't imagine what that kind of drop could have done to a roaming Yorkie.
