To the Land of the Rising Sun!!! An exciting trip!!!
It was a wonderful trip! Full of fun, and surprises as well. And it started even before we set our foot to the Land of the Rising Sun...I'll definitely be back for more!!!
Our flight was supposed to depart KLIA at 11.55pm..me & wifey was all hyped up..admist the excitement, we have prepared ourselves to sleep through the journey (not that we really can sleep like a baby in the plane).
Me & wifey before check-in
Already on-board, the plane accelerated on the runway for its take-off...I started to doze off..however suddenly, after accelarating for quite a bit on the runway and just before take-off...the plane hit the emergency brake..brakes were locked and there was a loud noise!! all the passengers surged forward..I was jolted awake!
My 1st reaction to hold my hand and prevent Phoebe from hitting the seat in front...then the plane suddenly stopped and started moving slowly...shortly the Captain announced that there was a minor fault shown on the air controller, hence the emergency brake...As the plane turned back, I looked out at the window and saw that we are almost at the end of the runway...holy shit!!!
we moved back slowly towards the terminal..Captain further informed that the air controller is now functioning well and that it will need to wait for the brakes to cool down before another round of takeoff...I was like...WTF!!! Do you think after that 1st jolt I still have the balls to sit in the same plane for another takeoff??!!! Luckily upon reaching the terminal, Captain announced that we will need to switch to another plane...I was relieved!
We moved back into the terminal...and waited and waited and waited..and finally tookoff at 2am...In a way, I was glad that the incident happened before the takeoff...Honestly, my 1st thought when the plane hit the emergency brake was that are we going to crashed out of the runway...I really thank god for blessing us!
We touched down at Kansai at about 9am, 2 hours later than our estimated arrival time. But we were glad..and the excitement came back...
