"My life's a bowl of cherries - "

"My life's a bowl of cherries - sometimes you have to spray the tree so you can harvest" ( NOT said by me but this lady:- )

On February 24, 1989, Suellyn Caudwell buckled herself into United Airlines flight 811.

The plane was still climbing out of Hawaii when there was an almighty thud, the aircraft rattled, the forward cargo door swung wide,
the fuselage peeled back, nine passengers were sucked into oblivion.

For 26 years the Rotorua physiotherapist has refused to talk publicly about coming so close to death. Our People is privileged that she
has chosen this column to break her silence and acknowledges the emotional memories it's reignited for her.
