VERO BEACH, FLORIDA

It was a dreary, overcast February day in our little southwestern Pennsylvania town, nestled in the foothills of the Laurel Mountains. We were scheduled to take a business trip the next day to Albuquerque, New Mexico in our corporate jet. Being the "white knuckle" flyer that I am, I was naturally apprehensive when the weather report showed a line of thunderstorms stretching across the country from Kansas to Virginia. We had been airborne for several hours, cruising at 35,000 feet. So far the flight was going smoothly. In addition to myself, on board were two businessmen from England, our computer programmer and the CEO of the company. Radar was now starting to paint storm cells some 60 miles ahead. The captain logically changed course to miss the building storms. Suddenly – I'm not sure why – we entered a level five storm (hurricane force) with, as you can imagine, severe turbulence. Our plane was tossing around like a cork at sea when suddenly we were thrust downward several thousand feet. The plane lost pressurization, oxygen masks deployed and panic prevailed! The noise was deafening as we were physically tossed about the cabin; I was hyperventilating and terror stricken. Fortunately, our CEO helped me with my oxygen mask. As a former pilot himself, our CEO instinctively knew that he had to get to the cockpit to help the pilot. Since the umbilical on the passenger mask is short, it was necessary for our CEO to remove his mask in order to battle his was to the cockpit. When he finally got there, he found the pilot slumped over, unconscious, his oxygen mask lying on his lap. To make matters worse, as our CEO worked to get the mask on the captain, he too collapsed from lack of oxygen. Fortunately the co-pilot had managed to get his oxygen mask on and was struggling to gain control of the airplane. “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some Thank you for contacting Barbara Ann Angels!  We look forward to responding to you soon.  Have a blessed day!
