RJ : “Congratulations! By God’s grace you survived to tell your story.” Pilot: “Yes! I am lucky.”
RJ : “Can you tell what happened once you reached the Bermuda Triangle?”
Pilot: “When I was approaching the area everything seemed to be normal. The weather was pleasant and the sky was clear. Then suddenly the blip on my radar started behaving abnormally. I was unable to contact the control tower.”
RJ : “Can you remember what happened after that?”’
Pilot: “Yes! After I regained consciousness I started hearing cries of ‘Quit India’. It seemed that I was the spectator of a march by Gandhiji during 1940s. Everything looked black and white. I thought that I had died and reached heaven.”
RJ : “How did you survive?”
Pilot: “Suddenly my plane went into a tailspin and crash-landed at a small island. Luckily my radio was working by then and it enabled me to contact the control tower.”
