Escaping a certain death by Milota Sidorova

Stories about natural catastrophes and all kind of disasters have invaded our movie business and we have to admit that we certainly got used to it. Images of burning landscape, floods, apocalyptical visions and escaping hero are quite familiar. On the other hand, they have become popular. But with a glimpse of irony, we have to admit that most of fans consuming these movies haven´t been exposed to the real danger in their lives, not once. Because what would happen if the chance to survive went to zero just this very moment? What could one do? How would it change our perception of life and dangeer, I mean real danger? Of course, according to statistics we can be overr! un by car every time we cross the street. The chance is one to thousand. Not that small, one could say. Although the chance the same thing will happen on a plane is lower, it can´t be forgotten. And from time to time we witness „the most tragic and awesome“ airplane disasters. Sometimes they reach our evening news, sometimes they make it even into documentary. But that´s the worst case. Passengers on Delta Connection Flight 4951 from Atlanta to White Plains, N.Y. are probably the happiest people in this world. Althought the right gear of the plane went out of control and the plane was about to crash, the pilot managed to land on John F. Kennedy Airport. According to official report landing gear sent sparks flying and left one of the plane´s wing was dragging along the tarmac. All 60 passengers and plane crew made it out healthy, though the panic and teror was in the air. The plane belonged to Atlantic Southeast Airlines.
