Kate Winslet’s flying fears

Oscar favourite Kate Winslet and husband Sam Mendes refuse to fly on the same plane.
Kate Winslet and husband refuse to travel on the same planes over fears they’ll be involved in an accident sources have told the Daily Mail. Both have been involved in near misses, insiders claim, and fear dying together in a crash and leaving their son, Joe, and Winslet's daughter from her first marriage, Mia, orphaned. According to a friend, on September 11, 2001 Mendes was originally booked on the ill-fated American Airlines flight 77 from Washington Dulles International Airport to Los Angeles that was hijacked and crashed deliberately into the Pentagon. While in October 2001 Kate and daughter Mia were flying from London to Dallas when a passenger claiming to be an Islamic terrorist stood up and screamed: 'We are all going to die.' The pilot decided to land the plane immediately at nearby Toronto to have the man arrested. “Where possible, Kate and Sam do prefer to travel in separate planes,” a spokesman for the couple confirmed. “It is not always possible but, for obvious reasons regarding the children, they do travel separately when they can.”
