Entry 16: Emergency!

I have been in many types of emergencies before. From car crashes to forgetting to do homework, the word emergency means a lot of things for me.To be more specific I was once on a plane back to Taiwan with my family and after we got on the plane it was delayed for one and a half hour. No body knew why and as a kid I was annoyed and hungry. It was 8:00 when we got on the plane and we didn't have time to eat before the flight so I was starving. I couldn't hold it in any longer and began to cry for food. The flight attendants said they could serve dinner yet because the plane wasn't flying. My mother argued and pleaded with them until they have me a bun to eat and that satisfied me for a little while. We later found out that the plane was delayed for one and a half hours that their was a suspicion of a bomb having been carried on for planted in the plane. It was for me an emergency of hunger and for other the emergency of either getting the plane to fly or to get off and to a safe place. I have been in emergencies myself before but never anything big. I think that if I was in a big emergency by myself the fear would take over me and freeze up but only for a while. I would then stop and try to think it through and find a solution. I am usually quick on my feet and hopefully that would help me through an emergency by myself.
