While cruising at 40,000 feet, the airplane shuddered and Mr. Benson
looked out the window.
"Good lord!" he screamed, "one of the engines just blew up!"
Other passengers left their seats and came running over; suddenly the
aircraft was rocked by a second blast as yet another engine exploded on
the other side.
The passengers were in a panic now, and even the stewardesses couldn't
maintain order. Just then, standing tall and smiling confidently, the
pilot strode from the cockpit and assured everyone that there was
nothing to worry about. His words and his demeanor seemed made most of
the passengers feel better, and they sat down as the pilot calmly walked
to the door of the aircraft. There, he grabbed several packages from
under the seats and began handing them to the flight attendants.
Each crew member attached the package to their backs.
"Say," spoke up an alert passenger, "aren't those parachutes?"
The pilot said they were.
The passenger went on, "But I thought you said there was nothing to
worry about?"
"There isn't," replied the pilot as a third engine exploded. "We're
going to get help."
