I still remember that terrible event which happened three years ago. On that day at 5 pm I was stuck in a huge traffic jam on the main Abu Dhabi – Dubai road. I was really bored so I was looking around at everything.
As I was staring at the sky, I saw a plane coming out of the thick clouds and it was getting closer to the ground. After a few seconds all the people on the street saw what was happening, so I and a few other drivers got out of our cars and started to shout at everyone to clear their cars from the highway. Most of them rushed away from the road and screamed. In all this mess I looked up and noticed that something was wrong with one of the plane’s engines and it was on fire. In approximately five minutes several ambulances, policemen and fire brigades were on the scene preparing for the inevitable. The plane was a few seconds away from crashing on to the main road. The pilot activated the landing gear, but the plane was travelling too fast, so the landing gear collapsed. When that happened the plane burst into flames. All I could see were clouds of black smoke and the sound of huge explosions. I was shocked staring at the flames, when someone from the police woke me up and I offered to help them rescuing the passengers. There I found that the plane doors had opened and the people started to come out from the plane. I started to take the passengers to the ambulances and I helped them as best as I could. After saving most of the passengers, the police abandoned the plane. A few minutes later, the plane disappeared in a burst of flames.
After the accident, the police investigated about the cause of the problem and they found that the accident had been caused by a little mouse that had got into the plane and cut the engine wires. I felt really sorry because 53 passengers had died but I was also happy that the remaining 200 passengers had lived. This awful event really taught me the value of human life.
