The Transcription of Videos Made by Dante Fieldsdad and sister would sit in the middle row. For some reason, my parents had chosenAmerican Airlines for us to fly with. I have no idea why they would choose them. As wewere taking off, the pilot notified us of a coming storm. I brushed it off, looking through ourwindow as the plane started its ascent into the sky.Nearly half way through our flight, the storm the pilot notified us about struck. Thewindows were pelted with rain, streaking across the windows like slash marks. As this washappening I was trying to fall asleep to the rhythmic kicking of my seat from the peoplebehind me and the constant pouring of the rain. As I was closing my eyes, I heard the crashesof thunder around the plane. Suddenly, I heard a crash and saw a blinding flash of light eventhrough my closed eyes. I bolted awake, sitting fully upright and looked out the window.Through the darkness of the night I saw flames burning the wing. The fire was reflectedagainst the obsidian water below. As I was watching the flames, chaos ensued on the peoplein the plane. Attendants ran about, trying to maintain what order was left in the plane. Overscreeching, the pilot tried to instruct people about what they should do, but not many werelistening.You may be asking yourself what became of me in this mess. Well, I did not succumbto the chaos of the plane. I was totally calm during the whole mess. You see, I was knockedout by the people behind me. The lady had flipped out and had kicked my seat so hard that itknocked my head against the seat in front of me. From the moments in-between beingunconscious and what I have been told happened, I will retell you the events of the rest ofthe flight.
