 MY MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE
As a sale manager, I often take business trips to some countries. Of course, I
prefer to travel by plane due to its advantages. I really had many safe and pleasant
flights. However, everything happened on my flight last month still remained a
fright to me.
I remember that I was with about 250 passengers on the plane flying from
Guadalajara to Mexico city. When the plane took off from Guadalajara, the wind
was blowing hard and it was raining heavily. Some passengers around me appeared
the sign of nervousness, and so did I. The plane was all right for about thirty
minutes. I was listening to the airplane's radio. Other people were talking and
exchanging information. The stewardesses were serving drinks and food to the
passengers. Looking out of the window, I saw masses of dense black clouds flying
past. Suddenly, lightning struck one of the engines. The plane dropped rapidly.
Some people were screaming and the stewardesses were falling down. From the
cabin, the co-pilot's voice was heard to require passengers to fasten their seatbelts
and keep calm. Some passengers couldn't control their fear, they shouted for help.
Though I got used to this experience, my heart was beating very fast and I was
trembling with fear. I thought I was going to die. But my fear didn't last long. After
about thirty seconds, the pilots started the engine. Everyone on the plane heaved a
deep sign of relief. We landed safely at last.
That time I had to cancel my return flight. I took a sea voyage instead. I thought I
would never fly in bad weather condition.
