Vivid Memories
“July 27, 2002, Sknyliv air show disaster. I turned 5 years old the day before. It’s one of my most vivid memories from childhood; how the pilot landed 10 meters away from me and my dad. He was on his knees, his parachute dangling in the wind, and I remember him repeating, “what have I done?” over and over …
… I didn’t understand much of what happened. My dad only said, “close your eyes; we have to go.” My dad told me years after that we would have gone farther into the crowd, but I refused to go because my shoelace was untied. Him kneeling to tie my shoes is the only thing that saved us. It wasn’t bone-chilling at the time, but when I imagine what my dad witnessed that day, I get goosebumps.”
