Posh's Scary Plane Drama

Eeek! Posh and two of her sons were on an airplane when a bird flew into the engine on take-off. This freaks me out. Seriously. Craig and I are going to Beijing in August and I do NOT need to hear any flight mishap stories! Note to self: make that appointment to get xanax NOW! Maybe xanax helped Posh keep her cool?

Victoria Beckham was left shaken during a recent flight -- after she was caught up in a terrifying runway scare.

The former Spice Girl, accompanied by children Romeo and Cruz, were on the taxiing jet when a bird flew into one of the plane's engines moments before take-off.

Passengers screamed as the pilot slammed on the brakes and the plane screeched to a halt.

Fire crews were called on to the runway to douse the craft's overheated brakes with foam.

Victoria, sporting standard-issue aircraft pajamas and no make-up, launched into the emergency position and grabbed her high heels, designer clothes and lipstick.

The 34-year-old fashion icon then remained on the canceled Los Angeles to London carrier to get changed into more fashionable attire and apply her make-up, while the other passengers were bussed back to the terminal.

Posh; her two sons; her PA and bodyguard, who accompanied her on the Air New Zealand flight, were ferried back to the building separately.

She remained calm throughout the ordeal.

A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "It was really scary when the pilot suddenly slammed on the brakes. The plane was taxiing down the runway and we were set for take-off.

"We had no idea what was happening and you immediately fear the worst. I was sitting a few rows back from Victoria and her sons, who were at the front of the plane.

"Victoria wasn't wearing any make-up and had changed into the pajamas provided by the airline.

"It looked like she kept really calm throughout. She appeared to be comforting Romeo at one point.

"I guess she was as relieved as everyone else.

"Who knows what could have happened if the bird had flown into the engine a few seconds later, after take-off.

"Young children were crying and for a moment I feared it was going to turn into a scene from a disaster movie."

An Air New Zealand spokesman confirmed no one was injured on the jumbo.

He said, "A bird flew into one of the plane's engines just as it started its take-off roll. The engine is being looked at."
