So fear = 2 pictures during the flight? Some "photojournalist"! Gimme a break. Apparently Reuters will hire anyone with a camera to take pictures. Where do I send my portfolio?

At the time my mother remarked how nervous she was since we were all together on one plane. Reading this, now I see that situation in a different light - your story is an excellent example of turning a negative (but uncontrollable) situation into something constructive and positive. Glad it turned out well! Many years ago my entire family took a flight out to Los Angeles from Newark. At the time my mother remarked how nervous she was since we were all together on one plane.

I couldn't explain other than for the fact that it's what I do. This has helped me realise why I did it. Thank you, what a moving post and I'm happy everyone was safe. Like Regina Spektor says in her song, 'Laughing With'...
