Denver International Airport

Paulo. Both my nerves and current cold contributed to my mix of emotions. I was both excited and exhausted with a throbbing headache that could be related to someone pitching a baseball at my head several times and never missing. We arrived at the airport in the small town we planned to build a house for a woman and her children. Immediately, it could be seen, by…

Sitting in the Chicago airport late one summer evening, waiting for my flight to board, I stared at the wall, wondering how on earth we all got to where we were. I certainly never thought I would be going into my last year of high school with my dad living halfway across the country in some distant, large city with his new girlfriend. School induced enough anxiety on its own. Then again, nobody plans for or expects these things to happen; nobody gets married and has a kid, thinking, I’ll give…

Plane Wreck at Los Gatos I went to the Common Experience event featuring Tim Z. Hernandez. He told the story of what happened with the plane wreck at Los Gatos Canyon. 32 people were killed from this plane accident. Out of the 32, 28 were Mexicans who were working to provide for their families back home. Tim learned the stories of those who were killed in this tragic accident aby talking to some of the families of those that were on the plane. I wasn’t going to go to this Common Experience…

January 15 ,2009 the morning of my big flight from La Guardia Airport to Charlotte Douglas airport. I woke up this morning getting ready for my flight and said goodbye to my wife and kids.¨Goodbye Kyle and Lindsey I love you!¨ Once I got to Laguardia I sat down at the food market and had breakfast.

You know when you go on a family trip somewhere and you're so excited that you get to fly there even though you have to get to the airport really early but have fun on the way to your terminal and area thing then you're stuck in the airport for two hours just to find out you're in the wrong terminal because either the person holding the tickets read it wrong or the people just decided to change the area the plane will land in (it’s usually the first one). So you have to run to the other side and…

Crash The ValuJet Flight 592 plane was a regularly scheduled flight from the Miami International Airport to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. In the cockpit was pilots Kubeck Candalyn and Richard Hazen who had over 20,700 flight hours total between the too combined.

It crashed as a result of a fire in the cargo compartment caused by improperly…

Nervously, I walked into the airport and I was going insane! It was going to be my first time on a plane. I had lots of mixed emotions that day. I was excited that we were going to Orlando, Florida to visit Disney World, but I was also terrified of riding that plane. I had no idea on how I was going to survive a two hour plane trip! With my luck, our flight was delayed, meaning that my nervous anticipation would last longer. A part of me wanted to get it over with, but the other part was…
