Tell a travel horror story, win a BlackBerry Curve
When one door closes, another one opens. JetBlue might say you have to have a BlackBerry in order to use Yahoo e-mail and IM on their new BetaBlue Airbus A320 — and CrunchGear says bring it on because they’re giving two away. Say thanks to Santa TeleNav this year for spreading the smartphone love.
Contest: Tell your holiday horror story and enter to win one of two BlackBerry 8310 smartphones with three months’ TeleNav service. The contest is taking place on CrunchGear’s pulpit — BFF. Act quickly because the travel misadventures are piling in.
Caveat: CrunchGear encourages you to have a bunch of friends endorse your story because it is going to give the phones to the most popular two posts. The winners will be chosen Monday, Dec. 17.

Interesting contest — it appears the site owners don’t mind if contestants simply run up their popularity with dozens of faux comments.

y worst flight was on a trip from Dublin to London. Out of nowhere, the plane took a nose dive … for about eight seconds! I know it doesn’t seem like that long, but seriously, count for eight seconds. That’s a long nose dive! Passengers started screaming, luggage went flying out of the overhead bins and the lights went out. So scary! I really thought the plane was going to crash. Everything ended up being ok, at least I think so. The pilot never even announced what happened.”

In the middle of century XVI, the inhabitants of the City of Mexico took shelter in their homes to the hour of the touch of is, marked by is sound of the bells of the Cathedral. The people of the old Tenochtitlan closed doors and windows, and all the nights woke up by the sound of the sad and frightful weeping of pain a woman to whom afflicted a deep pain or tortures physics. In the beginning, the neighbors were satisfied to santiguar themselves, saying poor the bore in pain that vagaba by the streets, but this phenomenon extended and it repeated itself during long time. Those that they wanted to make sure of the cause of this event showed that normally to the average night the light of the moon allowed to see how the streets filled of a vaporous layer and of her she appeared a woman with a very white dress, with a veil that covered its face. The phantom crossed the city with slow cadences, in different directions, always happening through the Greater Seat, where it knelt down returning the face towards the east, soon to put itself still on to continue its mysterious long walk again. When arriving at the borders of the lake one vanished between the shades. Few men who thought brave did not want to solve the enigma which he surrounded to the fantasmal appearance, that filled of fear to the inhabitants of the capital of the New Spain, nevertheless few could fill of value to approach to it him the sufficient thing, and are even some who say that those that therefore did it they found with frightful revelations or found the death. This genuine Mexican tradition has its origin in the mexica culture, in fact, it is spoken of which its antecedent is the old Cihuacóatl goddess, that appeared by the nights dressed in the white clothes of the women of the palaces, and that near the conquest shouted to the air “Oh, children mine, where I will take to you so that you acabeís not to lose “. Different interpretations from the meaning of the legend take to us to that it is the Malinche, that comes from sorry ultratomb by to have betrayed to its town to be conquered by the Spaniards. Also it is said of the tragedy of a ostentosa woman and ill of ambition that when being widow loses all the luxuries and wealth and when not supporting the misery drowns its children, to so return of the other world in penance by crime ruin. Perhaps the tradition of the Weeping one is most famous of the Mexican legend and its fame has transferred border. Thus, it is spoken of her in regions of the United States and Canada, where the descendants of migrantes say it to have seen appear near rivers and with the characteristics before mentioned.
