I recall hearing of a case a number of years ago, -where a Stewardess in the Cockpit of a Trans-Atlantic Airliner, -just happened to glimpse thru the window at her side, -Smoke arising from a Distressed Ship, Mid-Atlantic, thru a tiny break in the overcast! She almost Missed it!
(Reminds me of an Aircraft flying transversely a few thousand feet below mine, ouside my window seat, as I was Flying north toward Cleveland. -I wish that was spelled with a "K"!. I almost Missed that personally Neat Sight too! The Slittest of Split Seconds more!, -and I *would* have so Missed it! Not ever even knowing that it was there! I caught it in the Last Split Smidgeon of a Second beforehand! Just Before Disappearing literally beneath me, somewhere! There's just something about that kind of Experience! as otherwise mundane as it is.).
From such, -Aid and Rescue was able to be set on its way.
But for her Chance Sighting from the base of the Stratosphere, -such a Lucky and Needed Break, -would *Not* have occurred!...
Location and Rescue may well have eventually occurred. OR a Sinking may have occurred first. Either way, the outcome would have been far more Serious and Different! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]ScottRezaLogan[/email]
