My Second Flight Experience
Yesterday I was traveling from Mumbai to Chennai, after watching Nat Geo Investigates and Planecrashinfo updates, I was skeptical about flying. The Flight was late by an hour (due to technical problems), after which I got into the flight and it started to move. Just before the pilot was waiting for clearance to take off, a technical snag developed into it. The pilot announced it to all passengers and immediately brought the flight back to its stand and we got off. Thank God that the problem was noted before take off otherwise anything might have happened. We were directed to another flight; unfortunately it was delayed for an hour and half due to technical problems.

Finally I got into a replacement flight and I was scared when it took off. After an hour, I noted that the flight is losing its altitude. I was nervous and scared for some minutes until I saw the glimpse of the runway from the Window; I understood that the flight was in its final approach. A formal announcement came just two minutes before we landed (minutes after I discovered the runway), and I was a relieved man when I got out.

I will never forget the excitement of the day and what I finally infer is flying is all about excitement and Pilots are Gods.
