Another explosion sounded on the other side. The inside of the plane quickly filled with smoke. A sudden shock and the plane surged forward. Oxygen masks appeared almost out of nowhere. The three of them grabbed them quickly and placed them over their faces.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please put your oxygen mask over your mouth and breathe slowly. Parents with children please take care of your own mask before attending to your child.”

Panicked screams sounded through the airplane. Somewhere in the back a little kid started crying. Alexandra swallowed past that lump in her throat. She had always said she didn’t like kids crying, but this was different. The kid probably knew the end was near and wanted comfort from its mother.

Everyone assumed the crash position as instructed by the stewardess. The pilots tried to get the nose of the plane up again, so that the crash wouldn’t be as bad as when the plane would crash nose first.

Kami turned her in her arms to look out the window. She saw the blue of water coming closer rapidly. She turned her head back and said a quick prayer. Neither of the girls believed in God, really, but in times like this all they had left was to pray. Several minutes later the plane crashed in to the water. The sheer force of the crash had ripped the metal wings apart like paper.
