I looked thru the plane until I found the seat I wanted which was a window seat, and just stared out the little window wondering how long I would have to wait for the rest of the passengers to get there, because I was sort of in a hurry, but just as I finished thinking that, seven people came aboard and without saying one word to me they found their seats and waited. The pilot came aboard again and asked his niece if all the passengers were accounted for, she handed him the chart and said all but one because he called her just moments ago while she was checking the rutters and engines, and said that he wouldn't be making the flight this time. He gave his niece a pat and told her to make sure the passengers were all belted in then join him in the co-pilots seat. She gave her uncle a smile then made her rounds and handed each of us a water bottle and checked the belts and gave us the warning that we were getting ready to pull out.

I jokingly asked her for a pillow and blanket, and maybe a hot towel, she handed me the water bottle and apologized for not telling me that this was a coach flight, if I wanted the special treatments it was on the other plane that had first class. I looked at her and comically added she didn't even have peanuts. She said she was allergic to peanuts, but then tossed me a small pack of cashews, and went to her seat in the front and closed the door. Moments later, we were moving out and up...it was a lot bumpier than first class, planes but what could I expect from a small aircraft that was run privately by an older and very large man and his very unsocial but strangely attractive niece.

The first hour or so was sort of peaceful, but all the passengers were very private and not talkative at all, some of them were down right grumps, so I listened to my radio, and looked out the window, begging for this flight to get over with quickly. Then I took a half hour nap or so, then I called Stoney and told him how bored and irritating this flight was, and all the unsocial pricks that were on it...and how much I wished he would have come with me. After my chat with Stoney, I called my mom and told her that I was well on my way, but it was a very shitty flight, and I was going to be so happy when I got off of it.

I was in the middle of a conversation with Nik telling him that I would be there, but I had to take a private flight and it was going to be a little longer than I expected, but I would be there today sometime, then I added jokingly if the damn plane don't rattle itself to pieces and I crash before I get there. I tried to tell him of how nice and friendly all the passengers were on the flight when my phone started making weird noises then it went off, I looked out the window and noticed how dark and unnatural it looked outside. I unbuckled and went to the pilot's chambers and asked them what was happening. Kc looked at me while holding her joystick, and said that we hit an upper storm and that I needed to go back to my seat and buckle up for safety, but it wasn't just a regular storm because it fried my battery on my phone and all the electrical devices on the plane. 

The turbulence began to get intensely violent, which made the other passengers panic a little bit, because they have taken this flight all the time, and never had experienced anything like this before, I slowly made it to my seat, and buckled up then I looked out the window for a while until I noticed smoke coming from one of the engines on the wing. I gave a deep sigh of slight sarcasm and said out loud that it would have to be on the flight that I was in, then I jumped out of the seat again and went up to the pilots door again and told them if they noticed that the right wing of the plane was smoking rather badly, then I asked if it could catch on fire.

Just then the plane stalled a little bit, then everyone heard a somewhat loud banging noise, I ran out back to my seat and looked out the window again and sure enough, it was on fire and the engine had exploded where the smoke came from. Kc ran out after me and looked at the wing then went to all the passengers and handed them breathing devices out of the compartment then handed them each a life preserver parachute and said that we were going down...and there was nothing they could do about it, then she added that her and her uncle would try to keep the nose up for as long as they could and try to land it without much severity but it wasn't likely beens the wing was completely destroyed, and the hydraulic fluid was running out fast due to a leak somewhere caused from the storm.

Just as Kc was got back into the co-pilots seat her uncle ordered her to go back and sit in one of the spare seats and buckle in, because this landing wasn't going to be a good one, and if she stayed in the front she wouldn't survive the crash...but he had to try to keep the plane's nose up until they reached the crash site. He grabbed his niece and gave her a hug and told her to get the passengers into crash landing positions then get into it herself, then he told her he loved her, and then pushed her out of the pilot's chamber and locked it from the inside so she couldn't enter again. She went over to where I was sitting and told everyone how to get ready for the crash landing, then sat down next to me, for it was the only open seat, and said her uncle wouldn't let her stay with him...and he was sacrificing himself to try to save them all...then she curled up into position and waited...as a few tears streamed down her face. Then everything went so fast, from a lot of screaming and crashing and things flying all around us, then pitch darkness and dead silence.
