tors Survive Plane Crash Horror - Pilot Dies', the newspaper's headline had proclaimed. Since the accident my life had undergone a dramatic and unbelievable transformation. I guess that after being involved in a plane crash it would be foolish to believe that everything would ever seem exactly the same again, but the changes that I experienced go beyond anything that anyone could ever have foreseen.My name is Jack Franklin, and I'm one of the actors referred to in the headline. Over the past ten years or so I've made quite a name for myself in Hollywood, appearing in no less than six block busting movies. The other gentleman that was in the plane with me when it went down, with the exception of the pilot, was Charles Durrant - an equally successful actor, and treasured friend.The horror took place as we were flying in my private jet, a Piper Seneca 3, from Los Angeles International Airport to Chicago, where we were due to begin shooting our latest movie together - which was an exciting first for us, as we had never appeared in the same film. The pilot, Winston Codran, a kind and exceptionally amusing man, had flown my plane on numerous occasions, all without incident, and I trusted him completely. The flight had progre
It makes you realise just how difficult it can be to convey such an emotion effectively to the big screen. They concluded that aside from my broken forearm and dislocated shoulder, that there would be no other physical repercussions. I sat down heavily in one of the room's plush easy chairs, intending to use this time alone to reflect on the horror of two days ago, when my nostrils started to give that familiar tingling that precedes a sneeze. I simply didn't know enough, I realised as the ground loomed closer and closer. If I was physically reliving the crash, didn't it stand to reason that I could maybe do something about it? If Winston was unable to land the plane then why didn't I give it a go, after all he'd given me a few brief flying lessons. I then simply told them that investigations were taking place as to why the aircraft had crashed, and that an autopsy was being done on the charred remains of Winston's body to try and determine if anything had happened to him whilst flying the plane. How wrong can you be?Two days after the crash I was discharged from the hospital, only to be greeted outside by a blizzard of paparazzi camera flashes, and ceaseless questions. The next thing that I actually remember is being in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, and being told how lucky I had been. They were most attentive, possibly thinking that if anything went inadvertently wrong to a celebrity of my international standing, then their careers would come crashing down faster than my private jet. Charles was there too, and he was busy slagging off some actress that had turned down his advances, just the same as he had done immediately before the flight had started to go so horribly wrong.
