High above in the vast, cerulean sky where its clouds fled its scene, a metallic, gigantic bird was soaring. It was clear and bright an hour and a half before, no sign of turbulent interference expected.
Yet, as its wings fluttered, the once cloudless canvas was substituted by black mists. The Sun God had forsaken them. The engulfing murks were exploding, flashing light manifested and dismissed before their eyes.
As the twirl of gust quaked the flying metal, the cabin housing 250 passengers shed its light. During the trembling soar, the cockpit was chaos.
"Captian! Our left engine is on fire! It was hit by a lightning strike." A measured, yet shaking voice addressed.
"Steer the course to Hatyai International Airport, HDY, FO! I am sending a distress signal." The captain quickly shouted as a few cabin crew entered the cockpit.
"Captian, what should be do?"
"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! Flight TG409, our engine is burning. Re-routing to HDY." As he finished, he quickly turned back to retort.
"Calm the passenger down and follow the protocol! We are performing an emergency landing."
BOOM! The entire plan was shaken, and the lighting went off for a few seconds.
"FO! What's the situation?" His head turned to his First Officer, who was not unconscious.
"Captian! The passengers are in a panic! The right engine is burning!" Screamed one of the cabin crew.
BOOM! "Arghhhhhhhh!!!"
Within a moment, the Earth seemed to tilt left.
"We have lost our right wing, prepare for a landing in the ocean! Crews, instruct the passenger immediately!"
Beep-Beep-Beep! Three high-pitched sounds emitted from the airplane in a rapid burst.
"Mayday, Mayday, Mayday! We have lost all engines. We a--" BOOM!
With the last and known communication cut off, the Thai Airways International Flight TG409 lost its communication at 7.946902,101.481510
