First Day in College

Omar and his family were in their way to Dallas, they were taking a connection flight between Torreon and Daytona Beach. It was the time for Omar to accomplish his dream, he was in his way to become a pilot.

Everyone was so happy first than all because obviously he was going to his new home to make his dream true, it was Omar's birthday, and he graduated with honors from Colegio Americano de Torreon, tanks to the last event, Omar got a 45 scholarship for all the length of his studies; at this point the most happy was his father.

Next they arrived to Dallas at 07:00 a.m. The only thing to make was to check-in again, and wait for their flight to arrive. The terminal was so empty that if you farted, the few people there would hear it and even smell it. The day was so cloudy but never started to rain, until fog started to cover up the runways, they couldn't distinguish between the airport service cars and the taxi lights of the airplanes.

Although it was very foggy, airplanes continued to land, no matter what was the situation of visibility, the captains had a lot of skill and courage to decide attempt a landing with no visibility. Thirthy minutes after the estimated arrival of their flight, a lady announced "Ladies and gentlemen, flight AA5317 which departed from Los Angeles LAX to Dallas Fort-Worth has dissapeared from the radar, passengers of flight AA5318 please stand by for further information." The family was just in shock.

After, the whole passengers of flight AA5318 asked to the airport guidance people what happened to their flight, they responded that they have still no information.When Omar turned around, he saw a group of people gathered in a window, he didn't had a clue of why more than fifty people were looking through the same window at the same time, so as many of the other passengers would make, he approached to the window. When Omar looked out, he saw 3 United States Air Force C-130H airplanes, and 5 Bell-407 helicopters, he had never saw in his life a big group of this metal birds departing from the same place at the same time, but more weirdly, they were heading to the same location.

Further that event, the American Airlines crew announced to the passengers that a new airplane would be assigned so they could take their flight, but when they were in line to enter the new airplane, all the televisions changed to a emergency report. All the line was looking to the TV's, the first thing they saw was a crash site, but more clearly a tail of an airplane with an American Airlines logo. They couldn't believe that that was the plane they were going to use.

Finally, they entered the plane and departed to Daytona Beach, the mood of everyone changed to a very sad one. When Omar arrived to Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, he started to doubt if he wanted to be a pilot, he didn't wanted to end as the people he had just saw a few hours ago; but he refused in starting to think that kind of things, he entered the school as if he lived there already and felt very confident of himself. Now Omar flies the Airbus A380-861 in Dubai, currently at the Emirates Airline; he has a daugther, a son, and a beautiful wife, and an enormous house, everything he ever wanted in one place, a beautiful place.
