Engine trouble
While cruising at 35,000 feet, the aircraft suddenly shuddered violently.
One passenger looked out of the window and then shouted, “Oh my God! One of the engines has just blown up.”
The passengers were white with fear when moments later the aircraft was rocked by a second blast as an engine on the opposite side exploded.
Passengers started to panic and the cabin crew struggled to keep order.
However, just then the Captain strode confidently from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was nothing about which they should be alarmed.
Reassured by the Captain’s calm manner, passengers returned to their seats and he coolly walked over to the aircraft’s door.
He then grabbed several packages from under the seats near the door and started handing them to the rest of the crew.
Crew members immediately fastened these packages to their backs.
One observant passenger said, “Hey, aren’t they parachutes?”
“Yes,” said the Captain.
“But you said there was no need to be alarmed,” the passenger responded.
“There isn’t,” replied the Captain as a third engine suddenly exploded.
“We’re going to get help.”
