Taxi Taxi” sorry traffic is busy in New York and I need to go to the airport.Because,I am Flying to North Carolina to visit my mom. Jan 15,2009 i woke up and brushed my teeth, did my hair, ate breakfast, wash my face and pack up my stuff. I don't live with anyone but, im used to it, I was an only child when growing up. The airport is a 2 hour drive from my house so it’s not that far away. I'm going to La Guardia Airport to fly to North Carolina to visit my sister's funeral she just died 1 month ago everyone in my family is traumatized by this event especially my mom. I just got to the airport (the taxi ride was 50$) and I brought my stuff to the front desk and showed them my ticket and put my suitcases on the carrier. Then I sat down on a chair and waited for flight 1549, it took 1 hour, then they called the plane, I showed the lady my ticket for the flight, then I got on the plane. …show more content…
A flight attendant named Doreen Welsh offered me some nuts and juice i said “Thank you”, i put my headphones on and listen to some music and laid down. Before the flight a person named Tyler Phillips sat next to me and I said “hey” and he said “hey” back then we just started talking and talking. “Were ready for takeoff fasten your seatbelt and buckle up” I put my seatbelt on and the plane took off, Tyler told me that “My Brother just died a few weeks ago and I'm going to North Carolina to go to his funeral”. The exact same thing happen to me, but, i didn't tell him because I didn't want to ruin the mood. A few minutes into takeoff the plane started to tumble I felt a bad vibe in me like something bad was going to happen. Something like birds got into the engine because, the other plane engine was on fire and It
What comes to mind when you hear the word adventure!!? Well there is a place in Florida that is guaranteed to bring out your inner kid every time you visit. This place is known as universal Orlando Florida. This is a place where you can go on vacation and have fun like never before as you did when you were a kid. On my visit to Orlando I stated at a four-star resort located inside the theme park known as Cabana Bay Beach Resort, also went to universal studios and islands of adventure were I felt like I was a kid again.
As it snowed Louie expected at any moment for Mutsuhiro Watanabe “The Bird” to rush in screaming and beating fellow Prisoners of War. Louie wanted to know why such an easy mistake could do such a harmful thing to him. It was the winter of 1944. One day as a rescue went on for a crashed plane, an old un-airworthy plane
As my father and I finally fit the statue of the little Virgin Mary in the back of the car, it was time to get on the road. I could already taste the guavas from my great grandfather’s ranch. Feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin. The smell of my aunt’s cooking. Hearing the excitement of my great grandmother’s voice. I wanted to be there already, be in the beautiful country of Mexico. My thoughts wandered as we left my house. How much welcome, love, and the sadness of leaving was going to happen. It was too soon to find out.
It was the first time I ever rode in one so I wanted to make the experience a memorable one. That’s why I decided to ride in the passenger seat in the front with the driver, and not in the back with the rest of the family. While riding down the road, the driver turned on the radio station. This was the moment when I first heard the announcement of planes crashing into the Twin Towers. At this time, both the north and south towers of The World Trade Center had collapsed. There was no mention of a terrorist attack at this time, I did not hear about that part until later that day when we got home and saw it on the news. The vehicle was quite at this time, I think we were all in shock and disbelief. I remember seeing the driver have tears that dripped down his face. I really didn’t know the significance of the Twin Towers at the time, or why would anyone want to attack New York City. All I knew was that the person on the radio keep saying airplanes full of people crashed into the Twin Towers. When we got to the repast, everyone was talking about what happened, and their version of what they heard off of the radio. Some people were saying it was a plane that crashed into the World Trade Center, others were saying that it was a bombing. There were many different versions of what actually happened, floating around the room. There were so many different stories, until I started to
The excitement among people was cut short by the unfortunate delay in flight, because of maintenance on one of its engines. The passengers boarded the plane a couple of hours after the scheduled time. Finally, it was cleared for taxi on runway 26-Right. The pilots lined the aircraft parallel to the runway. A tragic accident, however, was about to happen.
According to an FAA spokeswoman, initial reports indicated that the plane’s engines were damaged following a double bird strike. While the plane captain declared an emergency after experiencing the bird strike, the passengers on board reported of a smell of fuel, engine flames and loss of power before the landing (Steenhor par, 4). The co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles, who was at the controls when the flight took off, was the first to observe the formation of birds which were approaching the aircraft. When the Airbus collided with the birds, the windscreen turned dark brown immediately with numerous loud thuds being heard. Following ingestion by the birds, both of the engines lost all thrust. In an attempt to restart the engines, the captain, Chesley B. Sullenberger, took the controls while Skiles the...
Now, it almost seems like a cliche to say that I had my own special blanket when I was seven, but I sincerely believed that the blanket I owned was the very center of my universe. It was old, my Grandma had it for years before she gave it to me, and I treasured it. It was a pale sky-blue, a reminiscent of its original royal blue, and had tiny pink flowers scattered throughout it. I had agreed to leave it behind if I got a new one, so I begrudgingly pushed all thoughts about my blanket aside and carried on. The airport experience wasn’t bad, but it was slow. My Aunt had worked in that airport for years, and with every checkpoint we passed we faced more and more of her ex-coworkers, which were… “talkative” to say the least. After
must give a great deal of respect to the New York City taxi drivers because they
When we leveled up in the sky, I looked out of the window. I saw cars on the freeway with people going to work. The plane’s engine was so loud, I thought it would make me deaf.
It was a warm April day and all of the students were let out of school for the day. I went home to finish packing with the help of my parents making sure that I had everything and I wasn 't forgetting. I was excited for a week now to go on the trip to Washington D.C. with the whole 8th grade class for a week.
The plane was severely damaged – one of its two engines was broken off and the nosecone tore off the plane on during the crash. There was also an entanglement with power lines during the landing, which caused a blackout throughout the entire airport. Frightened passengers, underdressed for the Nova Scotia weather, ran out of the plane, some in shorts and t-shirts, terrified and bloodied. Some saw fuel coming out of the plane and had concerns about an explosion.
The trip to Florida over Christmas break was unlike any other. Yes, most people would jump at the opportunity to go to Florida after a winter like we had up to that point. So, let me give you some background on why the trip. Back in July my mother in-law had an epileptic seizure that rendered her in a coma, she has not awoken from and the doctors are pushing to let her go. She has been moved 3 hours from my brother in-laws house to Georgia. Thanks to our lovely health care system, it was the only place available that could take care of her needs. Perfect timing kids are out of school and it is a good time to travel so you would think. I have been out of work
In rare instances, humans are privileged to have the opportunity to meet fate face-to-face. When fate presents itself in its unique fashion, it has the ability to create change. From Adam and Eve’s predicament with that green serpent, to the homeless ex-stockbroker who was once lured into the luxury of the big City, fate certainly works in the most mysterious of ways. Dennis Anderson, a hard working business-man from Sacramento had his run in with fate thirteen long years ago, surviving the epic attacks on the Golden Gate Bridge.
It is a common occurrence that people have some sort of experience that they can not explain, and these experiences make for a great story likely to be told to everyone around them. Some experiences could be very minor, but in s...
“Flight 208 to Los Angeles is now boarding. Section N you may now take your seats”. You looked down at your carry-on bag to make sure you have everything packed up, even though you took nothing out, and headed toward the flight attendant and handed her your ticket. As your walking through the tunnel, the sound of the planes jets put just enough pressure on your body, causing your pulse to increase. “Why are you nervous, you been on planes before”, you ask yourself. You shake your head and start to inhale and before you could finish getting your lungs to the maximum capacity they could hold, a man wearing a white shirt twice his size and jeans that also seemed
