THE COINCIDENCE

" It was a clear night, all the passengers were ready to board their plane. There were around 500 passengers, some were returning to their homes and some were leaving theirs. There were some tourists, some students, some old people, and some young couples and families too. All the passengers boarded the flight and pilots too were ready and hoped for a safe and smooth journey. The flight took off and the journey of the first hour was truly stress-free and smooth. The environment inside the plane was calm and cool and the pilots were enjoying the flight. But, just then suddenly the pilots spotted a huge black blanket of clouds, heavy and full of potential. Now, they feared if they could slice through the clouds because they looked very very thick and dangerous. So, the pilots decided to fly around them and dodge them instead of taking an unwanted risk. They had sufficient fuel as well. So going into that maze would be pure stupidity."

"They went around the clouds for about a few kilometers but the chain of clouds never seemed to end. So they decided to take help from the ATC from where the plane was being tracked all the way long. They used the radio and asked for help, the reply came in which they were told that the chain of clouds was really very huge and they had to take another path instead of just flying around them. They received the new way from the ATC, and guess what, they were to go across the most deadly path and they had no alternative. So the pilots hoping for the best turned the plane towards the new path."

"Taking the new path didn't seem like a good decision, as the pilots were struggling to fly the plane. And to add to this chaotic situation, an important part of the plane got damaged which was a must-needed part to land the plane. The passengers started to panic, some despaired and some started to pray as well. Eventually, they were nearing the airport, but the challenge for the pilots now was to land the plane safely."

"Finally, they did reach the airport but they were yet to land. There was very limited fuel left in the plane and there was very less time left. The pilots had to think of something, something which could help in the landing of the plane. The pilots were trying hard to land the plane but failed every time. The fuel in the plane was almost over, and the passengers had mixed emotions, some were crying, some were still praying, and some were having their so-called last words with their dear ones. The plane had enough fuel for one last try and the pilots were ready to take the leap of faith, there the plane came with high speed and then"...,
