A popstar left messages on the phones of his children when he believed his flight was about to crash into the water. Chesney Hawkes, who had a hit in the 1990s with ‘The One and Only’ said he saw a stewardess in a ‘foetal position’ on the floor trying to get a mask on in the emergency.
The flight this week from Greece to Barcelona on Monday hit trouble and Chesney, 51, said that the pilot came over the intercom saying: “Emergency descent — brace,” And the singer, who was on the flight with wife Krissy, said the left messages to their three children, so certain they were of being in great danger.
He told the Sun the plane plunged 20,000 feet before making an emergency landing and that the angle of bank over the sea made him think they were about to crash into the water. He said: “We thought we were going down. Our ears hurt and babies were crying. The pilot came over the loudspeaker and said, ‘emergency descent — brace’.”
