Island Castaway: Crash Landing

Just made this up, while playing Sims along the way.
12/3/2009

As I got my ticket and wait for the plane, I took some time to buy some snacks. Traveling alone on business class is kinda hard for me; I just wanted the comfortable seats and charge stations on the seat. After my meal, I opened my laptop and connect to the airport's Wi-Fi. I got a weak connection, but it will do to check my mail.

Ten minutes later, I got a seat at the boarding gate. I read an e-book on my Kindle.

"Flight Number ERO-9578, Flight Number ERO-9578, is now boarding. Please proceed to Gate 12. Flight Number ERO-9578, Flight Number ERO-9578, is now boarding. Please proceed to Gate 12."

That's my cue.

7:30 PM Local Time

I was played several games, listened to some Jazz Music, and watched movies in my laptop. I am also a freelance writer. I have written twenty-three articles in an hour, categories are varying, I sometimes post it on my blog or on Buzzle. I had a vegetable meal, and some biscuit snacks. When my laptop ran out of battery, I charged it to my seat. I opened my Kindle and read some books, I meant, e-books.

9:00 PM Local Time

Three hours away and I'm off to my destination. When the seat belt sign wasn't illuminated, I went to lavatory to take a leak. Surprisingly,

"Attention passengers, attention passengers, this is your captain speaking, we're encountering turbulences from the local islands. Please remain seated with your seat belt fastened tight. Enjoy the flight.

It took me ten seconds to finish my leak, and then I went to my seat and fastened my seat belt. The cabin crew did the same. I didn't mind to turn on the LCD in front of me.

9:15 PM Local Time, Cockpit.

"Captain, it's drizzling outside, it may rain heavily for next ten minutes, I suggest we land on the nearest airport." said the apprentice.

"No need, we can overcome the turbulence and we can avoid the clogging of the engines with the water, there is no need for worry, apprentice."
"But---"

"No need, no need."

9:30 PM Local Time, Business Class

For thirty minutes the seat belt sign is illuminated, the turbulence mad it worse. I had the feeling we might crash. I prayed silently to God that it might not happen.

"Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking, it's drizzling outside right now, the temperature outside is 10 degrees Celsius. We're overcoming the turbulence right now, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened. Thank you."

I took a glance a bit farther from my seat and I saw an individual, like me, praying heavily. Boy, I'm sure I'm not the only minority individual who can conquer Business Class. Let alone the First.

10:30 PM Local Time

I was getting more and more worried about the SB sign, it was illuminated for an hour now, we may crash anytime soon. Few seconds later, yellow masks dropped from the ceiling above me.

"Attention passengers, this is your captain speaking, we're encountering heavy rainfall, My apprentice and I are trying to avoid a black cloud. Please remain seated and do not panic. I repeat, do not panic."

Sure the words of the pilot were convincing. I wore my mask on and secure the straps. The others seem to follow suit, but in my mind that some of the cabin crew are struggling to help some infants.

The worse was about to happen.
Can you wait for the next chapter?
