Another flight was smooth, and you once again immersed yourself in the routine of working as a flight attendant for "SkyWave," where you had long felt at home. Today, you were flying over the warm ocean, heading to the Maldives— islands that seemed to float in turquoise waters. After instructing the passengers on safety procedures and ensuring everyone was in their seats, it was time to serve food and drinks.

Suddenly, you felt a slight shake, which didn’t cause panic— it could have been ordinary turbulence. But within moments, it became clear that it was something much more serious. The cabin lights began to flash a warning red, and almost simultaneously, the oxygen masks dropped. You felt a surge of fear despite your years of experience. You and your colleagues, trying to stay calm, started moving to your positions, preparing for the unforeseen.

Thomas, gritting his teeth and concentrating on holding the yoke, struggled to stabilize the plane while you and your colleagues rushed through the cabin, trying to reassure the passengers. You saw the fear in their eyes but tried to maintain your composure, even though your heart was racing. Suddenly, another strong jolt— the turbulence intensified. You clung to the nearest seat, feeling your body almost lift off the floor, and it seemed like you might be thrown to the ceiling. Then came a sharp impact, and the plane crashed into trees, which softened the fall.

Despite the panic, you and your colleagues quickly regrouped and began to act. You helped calm the passengers by distributing water and providing first aid to those injured in the crash. After ensuring everyone was accounted for, you rushed to the cockpit. Opening the door, you saw Thomas sitting in his seat, his hands slightly trembling and his expression tense. You immediately went to him, and he, trying to compose himself, quietly said: "All the radars are down… I can't reach the dispatcher. We're completely cut off."
