We got up and headed to the bus station to get the bus to the airport. We were like zombies carrying our big backpacks; tired was an understatement. When arrived at the airport and boarded our flight. As soon as the plane started taking off, it was swaying from side to side on the runway. We were all worried thinking that wasn't a good sign! About 5 minutes later on take off, when we had left the ground, there was a massive bang and a big flash of light. We were...
