What a scare!!!!

The Mangalore plane crash and just within 6 days of the incident u get 2 witness 3 more ought to be accidents which very fortunately indeed were averted..thanks to the stars of the passengers..and to speak of stars maybe even I would like to thank mine considering the very evening of 13th may when I was strangled inside the Spicejet flight heading towards Guwahati from Kolkata for more than say 8 hours…phew…
Still can’t forget what a ride that was…when you think of that bizarre storm that caught the flight by its heels compelling the flight to turn itself into a roller-coaster with the mere difference of the passengers stranded inside and caught with fear of life. What else could one expect? When you can witness the strokes of thunder enveloping a large mass of cloud within a reach of just 100 meters from you and with the sensitivity of the body of the airplane just a mere stroke on the slightest body part would have caused us to be dead that very moment. And we all had nothing at all in our hand being at an altitude of 30,000 feet or more. To add to this fearsome situation was the very fatigue associated with staying seated inside the flight for 8 hours. I mean what a route---Ahmedabad to Kolkata then Kolkata to Guwahati and then again back to Kolkata(due to inability to land in Guwahati) and then finally to Guwahati. And then you come out of all this breathing fresh air it just feels like heaven…not to forget you are alive..:P
And just some days after this incident you hear of the Mangalore massacre…a death toll huge enough to run the chills through your spine and how did the entire thing got drafted. I mean the entire route went smooth and then just after landing on the runway. When the passengers actually feel relieved of the thought that they have finally landed but suddenly the plane overshoot and BOOM…split into two halves and what a landing it chose--right onto the deep dark pits of a jungle…sad it is!!!
And the toll…reducing the size of many families not by just by one two but even to the extent of 16. Yes there were 16 members of a family aboard making their way to Mangalore to have a last look of their dead grandmother. The entire airline industry taken by a jolt alongwith the nation with such a probable disastrous folly on the part of the pilot…
And seeing the aftermath one would have expected that it just occurred and it would soon pass by from your minds but not when you have similar accidents which would have occurred but very fortunately they were avoided. Just look at this..one of my relations in this Mumbai bound flight which was just about to land and then it just noticed in time that another indigo flight was on the same runway where it was about to land. And there it took an upward flight again saving the life of some 300 passengers aboard on both the flights…!!!
Indeed the survivors would consider themselves the lucky bunch of people but what about the airline industry. What are we the commuters to think of them? Indeed at times we feel these people have been doing a great job but the next moment our thought gets questioned again. Are we(the survivors)to feel lucky that the crew has very well engineered itself out of the upcoming trouble or to grumble at how could such technical mistakes occur? In an environment of suspensions and strikes, our life comes to a standstill but how well guaranteed is our journey is what is driving this atmosphere to perplexity. The question remains as to how well the airline industry would fight itself back to regain our faith…
