想象一下当你升至三千英尺（编注：约914米）的高空时发生大爆炸的情疑。想象一下飞机上浓烟弥漫的样子。想象一下引擎不停地发出噼啪声的情形。这听起来很吓人。那天，我坐在一个特别的痤位上——1D号座位。我是唯一一位能和空乘人员说话的乘客。
Imagine a big explosion as you climb through 3,000 ft. Imagine a plane full of smoke. Imagine an engine ,going clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack.It sounds scary. Well I had a unique seat that day. I was sitting in 1D. I was the only one who could talk to the flight attendants. So I looked at them right away, and they said, ＂No problem. We probably hit some birds.＂ The pilot had already turned the plane around, and we weren＇t that far. You could see Manhattan. Two minutes later, three things happened at the same time.
