In the Sky My internal organs began shutting down one by one, as I rolled my zebra print luggage across the waxed concrete flooring. The quest for the loading area seemed like something out of a horror film, when the blonde haired girl went searching for the murderer, after she heard a piercing scream.

Taking in my environment, I looked around at all the blank faces and said with a long breath “This is really happening”. Slowly approaching boarding, my chest began to feel tight, my lungs felt like they were collapsing, and all of a sudden it felt like 108 degrees. As I slowed my pace, swarms of people began to surround me, as …show more content…
I looked to the front, and the stewardess was giving instructions on what to do in case of an emergency. I translated this to mean “WE ARE GONNA CRASH!” I must have read those emergency escape handouts nine times before the plane took off.

The plane took so many twists and turns, I thought it took an hour just to get to the runway. I looked out the window, and a sudden gush of acceleration overtook everything. My body was elevated up as if some superior power was effortlessly lifting the plane. My hands clinched the armrests, my eyes widened, my entire body felt as if it was being torn apart, my heart quadrupled its rate, and my brain wanted to scream out in protest.

    Because of risky flight conditions, a plane heading from Atlanta, Georgia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July, 2008 almost crashed during its landing. For many passengers, including seven year old Blake Hoffmaster and his family, the experience was traumatizing. Hoffmaster, now a freshman in high school, recalls the event, remembering that the plane was flying through a thunderstorm, and the first signs of a problem was turbulence, then the plane dropped 400 feet in two seconds when attempting to land. As he was young at the time and did not understand what exactly was happening, Hoffmaster thought the bumpy ride and sudden plunge was “cool”. The ride had been smooth up until that point.…
