Captain Ronald Smith, a pilot with United Airlines, embarked on his final flight in 2017, concluding a remarkable 32-year career. The flight, taking off from Chicago to Brussels, was set to be an unforgettable journey, not just for Captain Smith but for everyone on board.
On this last flight, Captain Smith’s retirement became known to a group of young travelers, members of a choir from the Lycée des Garçons d’Esch-sur-Alzette in Luxembourg. Learning about this special occasion, they spontaneously decided to honor the captain in their unique way.
After the plane landed, these thoughtful students patiently waited for other passengers to disembark and for Captain Smith to emerge from the cockpit. As he appeared, they began a beautiful acapella rendition of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida.” Nicolas, one of the students, captured this heartwarming performance on video. The choir’s voices resonated through the cabin, creating an incredibly touching and memorable moment for Captain Smith.
Watch the video below to witness the choir’s beautiful tribute to Captain Ronald Smith on his last flight, a heartwarming serenade that beautifully marked the end of his distinguished career.
He Laid Dying, Stuck On Side Of Road But Soon His Past Would No Longer Haunt Him
Alex was ready to give up. He was severely malnourished, dehydrated, and exhausted, and maggots infested his wounds.He was on his deathbed. The worst part was that he was stuck in a remote location on the side of a road, with no way of escaping on his own.
He was stuck because he wore a collar with a long chain. To make matters worse, he was completely indistinguishable from the road. He had only a remote chance of being rescued in time.
But little did he know that his life was about to improve dramatically and that his past would no longer haunt him. A person named Alex (after whom the pup is named) noticed the fading pup while cleaning the area.
He immediately sought help from the Feed Friends Foundation, a local animal rescue. They agreed to take him in and found him a wonderful foster home in Alle Hadoc to care for him while he recovered physically and mentally.
His road to recovery would be long and difficult, but neither Alex nor his supporters would give up. He met new dogs and kitties at his foster home who showed him the ropes and helped him along the way. Alex was a wonderful dog who adored every animal he encountered.
Alex began to heal from the inside out as time passed. The wound on his body and the one on his heart both healed. He found a loving forever home after fully healing and is currently enjoying his second shot at life!
