The blue bird with yellow stripes

The blue bird with yellow stripes   

 sat there without an eye checking its exoskeleton’s equipment              

With another brain and over 200 souls .

What a great bird it was with metallic exoskeleton who’s royal engines roared like a royals tiger

And with a high speed jet blast

The blue bird with yellow strips

Soared through the eye of the hurricane without an eye talking to the ground and assuring his path with

Another brain assisting it and 200 souls

Hail and rain ran through the skeletons body like gunfire

it was enough quiet the royal’s tiger

Then everything went quiet

 as soothing it was for some it was deafening for the bird

the blue bird with yellow stripes was falling from the height

with one eye and another brain and 200 souls

pan-pan-pan, mayday-mayday-mayday it tweeted to the ground

but the silence had seemed to deafen them                                                                  

all hope seemed lost for the brain but the blue bird soared with all might               

its eye aimed a grassy levee

mayday-mayday, speed bird heavy                                                                                          

it lowered the gear , extended its wings with 200 souls scrambled to a head down trance

he saw the ground and the sky with a single glance

with a touchdown as smooth as possible, without a single rumble or crumble

he saved all his souls and the exoskeleton with one eye

never such a feat has been achieved before

done by a blue bird with golden stripes

  

About

On May 24, 1988, flight TACA 110 lost power in both rolls’ royce engines due to accumulation of hail in them. but its pilots made a successful deadstick landing (landing without engines and not a runway)  on a grass levee, with no one aboard sustaining more than minor injuries The captain of the flight, Carlos Dardano of El Salvador, had only one eye due to crossfire on a small flight to El Salvador, which was undergoing a civil war at the time. This poem by swapnil mittal is composed to respect the dare of the pilot who did not quit when all hope was lost but he remained calm and saved all 200 souls on board
