sure! she could call the plane company
*ring ring*
"Hi thanks for calling SuperCheap Air, how may I help you?"
"I dreamed one of your planes crashed. The 3:10 to Tuskeedoo!"
"YOU DID!!? We will cancel it right away! THANK YOU so much for caring enough to call"
![laugh :laugh:](http://bettermost.net/forum/Smileys/cowboy/laugh.gif)
(just kidding!!)
I don't think they would cancel the flight...
![Grin ;D](http://bettermost.net/forum/Smileys/cowboy/grin.gif)
Nope, seriously the phone call would go more like:
*Ring ring*
"Hi thanks for calling SuperCheap Air, how may I help you?"
"I've planted a bomb on Flight EZ3..."
Or she could literally drive onto the airfield at the proper time, shutting down the airport.
If you've ever read Stephen King's book
The Dead ZoneSPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The main character can see the future. His talent has been proven beyond all doubt. He ponders why he doesn't stop things from happening. In one situation, he knows a teenage hangout is a fire trap. Everyone is going there after the prom and he
sees that a fire is going to break out and kill a bunch of celebrating teenagers. What does he do? He and other characters call the club to try to get them to shut down for the night.

Of course the owners refuse - it's a big money night! Instead, the main character's friends plan their own party and invite as many people as possible to keep them from going to the club.
Inevitably, the night goes on, the club opens its doors...and a fire breaks out and the tragedy costs a lot of teenagers their lives.
The character realizes he could have done more than phone. He could have gone there the night before the prom - when everyone is asleep - and burn the place down himself. Or he could have driven his car into the club, destroying the doorway and foyer and the club would have to close down for repairs. He realizes he could have done a lot of mundane things to stop things from happening that had nothing to do with dramatically announcing that he could see the future.
Same with Kerry's friend. There are quite a few things Shirley could have done to stop or delay the flights.
I was just wondering - like the Stephen King character and like Penn and Teller - why she did not.
(Hi Del!! Haven't seen you in a while...we must be missing each other)
I've been here. Miss you, too. Have a Happy Turkey Day!
