The trip home was the biggest nightmare EVER …. I kept a log during the flight .. just in case …
warning .. very raw !
Well, while the flight in was OK, the flight out sucks as the weather fits my mood, dark and dreary.
The plane has dropped at least three times and we just hit cruising. The turbulence is horrible, this is starting out like a horror movie. .. Ack more turbulence …
The captain keeps ringing that bell tho no one will tell us why. I know it’s some kinda code for the flight attendants but I have never heard so many before. Were dropping again and the engines are almost silent. I think this is worse then the shaking, the attendants don’t seem to be too upset, there getting ready to serve food.
Finally fell asleep to be awakened 20 min later by massive turbulence. Not sure what it is but I can hear something outside, since we are seated in the…..
.
OH god it’s bad now.. I’m terrified now ppl are panicking now. a lady with a baby is crying. Please god stop this. Still at 31000 ft 7 hours to go and if it’s all like this i swear my heart will fail.
Please baby if anything happens put me with Sascha to wait for you I LOVE YOU!!!!
Were still over the ocean which scares me too cause there is no hope of landing. Just passing the tip of Greenland pilot is picking up speed now, that lady is really crying now, the attendants are trying to sooth her. Every time the plane rattles she screams.
554 miles south of Godthap the scanner thing says another 90 min till Canada, or I think Canada. Gander but I think well go higher then that. But at least it’s land.
It’s the engine I hear. It makes a high pitched shrill noise just before it shakes again.
They just told us to fasten out set belts TIGHT ………. Here we go again and alot of that noise. Even the flight attendants are strapped in now. I’m scared to death now, I just want off this plane.
I knew I should have never left you baby.
I hate this I can’t imagine what it’ll take to get me on another plane…. well ya I know, to go home to my husband.
I can’t stand this. I swear my heart can’t take it! .. and I’m not the only one that hears that noise.. others are asking now…
Trying to distract myself with T.V .. Tiny Toons movie, not really working but if I turn it up all the way I can barely hear that engine… My chest hurts..
OH god not again! and an attendant hit the floor this time. the plane is really really bad now, down 800 ft and hes trying to climb back up again, I wish they would tell us something … Down again …
34000 feet now over Goose bay Canada.. Were off course now.. 5 hours left to go … next time I do this I’m getting sedatives
4 1/2 hours left and it’s finally settling down.. still in Canada, looks like we will be for a while.
Well were over flint now and it’s settled enough for me to write again. We just dropped 6k feet in the worst drop so far. 2.42 left to go and I among others are crying and shaking. Some are sleeping and a few are convinced we will never make it.. This flight has terrified me.. will I ever get on another plane? Only to go home to my family. For Danny I would do anything.
We just dropped to 28000 feet from 45000. We are going down but I’m not sure why. They won’t tell us anything, just everything is OK at this time and we will notify you of further action. I’m running out of paper if this keeps up. I think I’ll just keep this book as a log.
We are flying through the clouds and still going down. They just came by once again to check our belts. Wow climbing HARD now as we enter Indiana…and down again…back to 32000 from 25000…
It’s nearly midnight for my beloved husband. I miss you so much it hurts, it feels as tho someone is trying to rip my heart out. It killed me to walk away from you. it’s still hard to believe you won’t be there waiting for us. I wonder if your watching the flight and can see all the changes, path deviations and alt drops. We swore we would never be apart again and yet here we are again, another 30-150 days. Could be 1 month could be 5. I wanted so much to run back to you and stay.
2 hours to Houston, If it settles down were supposed to get sandwiches then the customs forms in about 30 min.
Into Illinois now and a little more calmer….Ok was for about 10 min…. were descending hard now and shaking bad, were off course again… I can feel the pressure in my chest now …
1.54 left …
This is bad ….
Woah.. everything just jumped off the trays.. Damn and it’s gunna get worse ..
There calling St. Louis now, not sure why but I just heard someone yell for someone to call them.. I’m giving Lynda her passport.. just in case.. k .. done .. we may have to land somewhere else sooner… were in Missouri now and now I know one of the engines are failing or has failed already…
1.30 till land… the whole plane is shaking side to side and they just said they will not serve anything or do customs forms till they can find some clean air. But the pilot just said it’ll be like this till we land…
The sound that engine is making is horrid, like rubbing 2 swords together. If we do have to make an emergency landing I want Lynda to have her ID and emergency numbers just in case we get separated.
1.20 to go now and were in Arkansas. Lynda has had her headphones on and been oblivious to most of this. Even all this shaking and rattling hasn’t scared her. She keeps telling ME it’s OK. She told me at one point.. If you don’t calm down and stop shaking I’m going to call for help. I know I’ll post a blog about all this but I don’t know what I’ll say, provided we live through all this. Ill have to type this all out to the HD later and save it somewhere. I can’t believe Lynda’s………………
Engines totally gone now.. its shaking BAD .. Lynda’s sleeping now, I don’t know how but I wish I was. Just so it’s said , these flight attendants SUCK, next time we choose another carrier. One scolded another, “Pick that UP!” and another just called a man more scared then I am , a jerk cause he didn’t laugh at her pathetic joke… 1.10 to go
On the ground again after the worst landing of my life… sideways when we hit the runway, as if our troubles weren’t enough it’s been storming here in Houston so the runways are wet…Just one more flight and I’m home… I’d rather walk.
The flight from Houston to Reno was calmer, or was to me since we slept through it till it was time to land. Then it got bad, but seeing as we were flying through a winter storm I guess it’s to be expected. The landing was hard we dropped at one point and had to climb back up to restart the descend, that sucked and everyone screamed. we bounced the landing and they had to get 2 ambulances to take ppl off the plane before we could get off.
In the end we survived the flight from hell and are home awaiting the word that my husband can come home to us…..
