Would being in a Canadian Armed Forces 707 as it’s taking off from Nicosia while the airport is being shelled by the Turks count as disastrous? Or very lucky?
Weirdly, the thing that scared me most that day was the enormous cicada that was in the car my dad was driving like a maniac in to get us to Nicosia in the first place. The gunfire and shells barely registered until weeks later. All I knew was my dad looked stressed, my mom looked close to tears, and there were a lot of people constantly staring in the direction of the “fireworks”.
