WE WERE HEADING TOWARDS BEIJING AS I SIPPED MY DRINK, I KNEW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG FASTER THAN YOU THINK, A YOUNG IRANIAN WAS STANDING UP BRANDISHING A KNIFE, WHEN THAT HAPPENS - YOU IMMEDIATELY FEAR FOR YOUR LIFE; ALSO AN OLDER MIDDLE EASTERN MAN WAS UP IN THE FRONT OF THE PLANE, WE WERE CIMBING - I WONDERED IF I'D SEE MY FRIENDS AGAIN, THE AIR SEEMED THIN BUT NO MASKS DROPPED FROM THE CEILING, PEOPLE STRUGGLING FOR BREATH - EVEN THE MIDDLE EASTERN MAN WAS KNEELING, THR PLANE SEEMED TO TURN AND STARTED TO DROP IN HEIGHT, SO LOW OVER THE MAINLAND - YOU COULD SEE LIGHT, THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER TURN AND WE BEGAN TO CLIMB, SUDDENLY THE CO-PILOT APPEARED, SHOUTING: 'THERE'S BEEN A CRIME,' INTO HIS MOBILE PHONE BUT WOULD ANYONE HEAR HIM SO FAR AWAY? THOSE WHO COULD STILL BREATHE BEGAN TO PRAY.
