Crash!

A Story by livelovewrite

The seats in the back of the plane must have felt the shaking first. It probably started as a small rumble but then turned into a full blown seizure. No one can ever know what caused it. But it happened. The people in the ocean below saw the black smoke. The passengers felt the heat first. And the rest happened in a blur. The waters’ surface broke with the sound of 5 million bricks slamming against concrete. The waves rose and fell, gaining momentum with each twist and turn. Survivors floated about grabbing on to anything within reach. Sirens rang. Boats were dispatched. Helicopters took off. The sounds of their blades lingered in the air long after they were gone. The water turned red with the blood of the wounded and their cries competed with the commands being shouted from those who came to help. My heart should have been heavy but instead I felt light with the feeling of a mission accomplished.
