It all started with a small murmur on the front of the plane. At first, most did not pay attention to it; after all, on long flights there are always noises, children complaining or the usual crew trajín. But the tone of the voices began to change. It was no longer the typical casual conversation. The hostesses, which are usually the tranquility thermometer on board, looked at each other with a mixture of surprise and urgency. When you see that cabin staff leave what they are doing and move quickly, you know perfectly well that something is out of the ordinary.
Minutes in the air run in a very different way when the intrigue takes over the atmosphere. A passenger traveling in the middle line later reported that the silence that took over the cabin was almost instantaneous. People stopped watching their movies, took off their headphones and peered out the halls to try to figure out the mystery. The captain, from the speakers, announced that they should perform an unforeseen maneuver, although his voice sounded strangely calm, which instead of appeasing the spirits, fueled everyone’s curiosity.
