I woke up blinking, the light was blinding. I could hear rustling not far away and banging, like a hammer was knocking in nails right near my head. The last thing l remembered was the captain on the speaker telling us urgently to be ready for the brace position as we were crash landing. I thought back to the instructions before taking off. Does anyone really listen to them? Instinct had taken over and l leant forward ready. It had been dark outside, were we over land? Near a run way? Mountains even? God l hope not!
