I took my IPhone up to the bathroom area and recall rated the compass to ensure we were still flying south... I felt a bit better after that.
I have no desire to travel to south east Asia after that trip...

For a brief time American Airlines had a TV screen display showing a camera view pointed directly ahead of the aircraft - all the passengers got a pilot's eye view of take-offs, landings, etc. In 1979 Flight 191's DC-10 lost its engine on take-off (it fell off the wing) and the passengers got a real time view of their demise as the plane hurtled toward the ground.
They removed the TV screens after that.
