Flight 318 takes off and everything was normal on the plane. Then after a while, the air hostess starts her job, which is to provide food, drink, etc. to the passengers.
An air hostess named Fay Marie walks back to the kitchen to do her work, when she walks into the kitchen, and sees a face on the glass of the oven. Fay Marie immediately turns back and thinks it’s her illusion, but when she turns back and looks at the oven, that face appears once again.
After this, Fay Marie comes to the flight engineer and tells him that a face is appearing again and again in the oven. The flight engineer laughs at her and goes with her to look at the oven in the kitchen.
As soon as the flight engineer looks at the oven, he also sees the same face that was seen by fe Marie. The flight engineer is stunned, but when he looks again with courage, he realizes that this face is not someone else’s but the former engineer of this flight Don Repo, who works with him.
The flight engineer then goes to the oven and tries to hear what Don Repo is saying. Don Repo tells the flight engineer “be careful the jet is about to catch fire”, after which Don Repo’s face disappears from the oven.
The flight engineer then tells the pilot that former flight engineer Don Repo has told him that the flight is about to catch fire. Meanwhile, it had been a long time since the flight took off and the landing point had also arrived. The pilot makes the plane land safely and all the passengers disembark. After this, the plane is inspected and it is found that there is some fault in the engine of this plane.
Engine faults are rectified. But, the pilot of that plane feels that once this plane should be tested so that there is no problem during its flight. After this, with 2 pilots and 2 flight engineers, this plane is flown for testing, but shortly after takeoff, the plane’s engine catches fire and with a big bang, the plane falls down.
One year before Don Repo’s ghost was seen on Flight 318, On 29 December 1972, Eastern Airlines Flight 401 departs from John F. Kennedy Airport, New York to Miami Florida.
On flight 401, there were a total of 163 passengers with 13 crew members. The captain of this flight was 55-year old Robert Albin Bob. Robert Bob had 30,000 hours of flying experience, out of that he spent 280 hours in Flight 401.
The second pilot of Flight 401 was 39 years old Albert John Stockstill. Albert had 5800 hours of flight experience, of which 306 hours were spent on Flight 401. The flight engineer of Flight 401 was 51-year-old Donald Louis (Don) Repo. Don Repo had 15,700 hours of flying experience, out of which 53 hours were spent in Flight 401.
It was a long time since Flight 401 took off from New York, Flight 401 was now about to arrive at Florida Airport. The pilot of the flight lowers the landing gear, after a while, the pilot realizes that the signal has not been turned on even after downing the gear.
After this the pilot talks to Flight Engineer Don Repo, he tries a lot but nothing happens. Even after a lot of effort, Flight 401 could not be landed safely and then Flight 401 was crashed. 101 people died and 75 people were injured in the crash of flight 401. Flight captain and flight engineer Don Repo are also killed in the crash.
Now the question arises that why the ghost of Don Repo was seen in Flight 318, who warned about the crash of that flight. The debris leftover from the crash of Flight 401 was used to build Flight 318, and most of the materials used in the kitchen area were from the wreckage of Flight 401. That’s why the ghost of Don Repo was seen in the kitchen area above the glass of the oven.
