That was the biggest panic of our lives, wasn’t it? Look, it was the greatest fear I’ve ever experienced in my life. I said goodbye to everyone, I sent messages to my son, my daughter, my husband, my brother,

I couldn’t remember a bank password. I got so nervous that there wasn’t even a way to leave a little money behind,

Following the safe landing, the mood shifted from terror to laughter and casual banter. Ferreira suggested the dramatic experience qualified for television entertainment on the GNT network.
Now imagine the scale of the despair! After all that tension, we finally landed and that relief came accompanied by a lot of chatting and laughter! @fabioporchat, this story deserves to be on the show ‘Que História É Essa?’
