    About this ebook

    The plane finally landed. I was on the aisle seat, and most of the windows were closed. I tried to take a glimpse of the ground. I couldn’t. The landing was terrible. It seemed as if the runway was full of potholes. Almost all the passengers started abusing words towards the airline and the pilots. It seemed some trainee pilot was landing the plane for the first time in his life, and that too without any guidance. We could never imagine that the runway would be rough. When the flight finally stopped, it seemed as if the runway suddenly came to an end and the pilot had to apply sudden break. The runway was utterly dark. There was no light from the sky also. I tried to figure out. I thought, maybe the flight has entered inside a shade immediately after landing as I could figure out there was something like a roof.
    Why the aircraft landed in an unknown place? Is it an act of terrorists? If so, where are they? Why can’t all the hi-tech surveillances systems detect the aircraft which has already landed somewhere on planet earth?

      I read the book in one go. It gives lots of solace to those who have lost their dear ones not only in a plane crash, but otherwise also. I have read the other book of this author "Seven Lives Together" and was hooked up. I give 5 stars to this.

    Diary From The Missing Plane

    Frankly speaking, I am starting to write this from day three. Last two days we were confident that we would be rescued by our Government. I even planned to reschedule my appointment in Bangkok and go back to meet my family instead. I can clearly see the worried face of my wife and my two children. I can clearly feel the tense heartbeats of my elderly mother and father. I honestly wanted to tell them that I am alright. A simple text from my cell phone could have solved all these problems. Unfortunately, there was no network. I asked almost all the passengers and discovered that everyone was asking the same question to other passengers. This was the only topic of discussion among the estranged passengers who almost didn’t know one another. No one was asking of the well-being of the other passengers. Imagine, had this unfortunate incident happened fifty years ago, when there was no cell phone. Entire group would have behaved like one family and shared the grief among one another. With the enormous boost in communication capabilities, people are actually communicating less with their neighbours.

    I still have doubt that all the cell phones will be confiscated. The place
