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, lightening 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.
