As I sat
down at my seat on row 23 and SEAT A I got a clear view of the Ground Force
doing their job. The petrol tanker filling us up and the man in orange flashing
his lights. But something felt left out. I could feel it within me. But it was
probably nothing. So I kicked off my shoes and made myself comfortable, removed
my phone, switched on some music and started playing some games. As we got our
spot on the runway I looked out the window and I saw a jeep rushing towards us
and I just forgot about it. Then I looked and realized that jeeps were not
allowed so close and that the driver was smoking a cigarette and he tossed it
into the air. Since it was a jeep the hood was a bit open and the cigarette
fell into it. It took less than a second for the car to burst and the flames indulged
it. It was carrying several medical and safety kits. They all went flying as
the car toppled over. The pilots of are plane were doing usual pre-flight
checks when the air hostess ran into the cabin and told the pilots of the
ongoing commotion but did not finish the conversation because the medical kit
came crashing through the window, hit the pilot and the throttle. The pilot
slumped down into his chair and the plane began down the runway. The co-pilot
was a trainee and had no idea what to do and removed the instruction manual
searching for the correct thing to do in order to stop the plane. It looked as
if I was the only one to realize this explosion and I shook my sleeping mother.
As soon as I showed her this mess she immediately called 100 and after 7 rings
the other end was picked up by senior officer. My mother explained to the
officer who was trying to get a call with an airport official. Just as we
thought we were slowing down I heard the tires hiss as we lurched sideways and
fell on the grass. The plane toppled onto the left and everybody was screaming.
The emergency lights went on and off and the doors hissed open. Now airport
officials were swarming in from everywhere and they were trying to get us out. Ladders
and firemen swarmed the belly of the plane and they cracked the walls open getting
everybody out and giving them medication. It took them many hours to get
everybody to safety. I was fine with not even some scratches. But there was one
big problem. School started the next day and all my homework was in my bag,
still stranded on the plane. My teacher's the meanest around the block and I almost
imagined the screaming. Things were about to get ugly.
