almost christmas 1975 on a flight from cebu to bislig, stormy weather but i had to fly to spend christmas with the family. about 45 minutes into the flight, we hit the eye of the turbulence. at that instant, engine number one of the philippine fokker (left engine) stalled making the aircraft list to the left. the aircraft shook, vibrated and was having difficulty getting out of the mess. the lady to my left on the aisle seat was trying to make the sign of the cross from forehead to her belly and repeatedly doing the same thing not being to do the sign of the cross. i could't help but laugh, she got mad and was cussing me out (imagine a supposedly religious person cussing at you), i said to her, if you die, i die too. it was a matter of luck and survival. we made it to land after three attempts at the approach
