Det h\u00e4r \u00e4r flygplansolyckan d\u00e4r min farfar inte dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det ser ut som om ingen borde sig ha klarat sig ur det h\u00e4r vraket med livet i beh\u00e5ll, men alla tre ombord gjorde det, och p\u00e5 n\u00e5got vis lyckades de ocks\u00e5 ta sig fr\u00e5n bergssidan i vildmarken d\u00e4r det h\u00e4nde till en plats d\u00e4r fler m\u00e4nniskor kunde hj\u00e4lpa dem (i bildens \u00f6verkant ser man en del av de m\u00e4nniskor som bodde eller arbetade n\u00e5gorlunda n\u00e4ra och som kom f\u00f6r att se vad som hade h\u00e4nt) och till slut ocks\u00e5 d\u00e4r de kunde komma i kontakt med sina familjer igen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detta intr\u00e4ffade ungef\u00e4r ett halv\u00e5r innan jag f\u00f6ddes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Min farfar var en tidningsman som \u00e4gnade sig mycket \u00e5t humanit\u00e4rt arbete, f\u00f6r R\u00e4dda barnen bland andra, och tillsammans med en pilot som hette Carl Gustaf von Rosen. Den h\u00e4r g\u00e5ngen var piloten Carl Gustaf von Rosens son Eric, och han och min farfar och ytterligare en man var p\u00e5 v\u00e4g \u00f6ver Etiopien f\u00f6r att arbeta med ett av projekten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Min farmor reste p\u00e5 egen hand till Addis Abeba, inr\u00e4ttade ett kontor p\u00e5 sitt hotellrum, rapporterade till min farfars arbetsgivare och gjorde allt hon kunde f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rs\u00e4kra sig om att han fick bra v\u00e5rd och kunde flygas hem s\u00e5 snabbt som m\u00f6jligt. Han hade skadat ryggen (n\u00e5got som gjorde att han skulle komma att ha besv\u00e4r resten av livet) men hade sin skrivmaskin n\u00e4ra s\u00e4ngen eftersom han ville arbeta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibland t\u00e4nker jag p\u00e5 det mer sannolika slutet f\u00f6r den h\u00e4r flygolyckan — att jag skulle ha f\u00f6tts in i en familj som s\u00f6rjde honom och undrade vilka hans sista tankar hade varit n\u00e4r han s\u00e5g hur bergssidan kom n\u00e4rmare och n\u00e4rmare och hur piloten f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte hitta en l\u00f6sning. Ist\u00e4llet hade jag en superdynamisk farfar, n\u00e4rvarande i allt (trots sm\u00e4rtorna i ryggen), \u00e4nda till f\u00f6r bara n\u00e5gra \u00e5r sedan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En av mina br\u00f6der skickade bilden ig\u00e5r, och jag blev alldeles tagen av alltihop igen. Tacksamhet och mycket annat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the plane crash where my grandfather didn’t die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like nobody should have made it out of this wreck alive, but all three of them did, and somehow they also made it from the wilderness where it happened to a place where more people could help them and finally where they could get in touch with their families again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This happened about half a year before I was born. My grandfather was a newspaper man who did a lot of humanitarian work, for Save the Children among <\/a>others, and with a pilot called Carl Gustaf von Rosen. This time the pilot was Carl Gustaf von Rosen’s son, Eric, and he and my grandfather and another man were flying across Ethiopia for one of their projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My grandmother travelled on her own to Addis Abeba, set up an office in a hotel room, reported to my grandfather’s employer and did everything she could to ensure he would be well cared for and flown home as soon as possible. He had injured his back (something that kept bothering him for the rest of his life) but kept his typewriter next to his hospital bed because he wanted to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes I think of the more likely end to this crash — that I would have been born into a family mourning for him and wondering what his last thoughts had been, seeing the mountainside getting closer and closer and the pilot trying to find a solution. Instead I had a super-dynamic grandfather, present in everything (despite his back pains), up until only a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my brothers sent the photo yesterday, and it all hit me again. Gratitude and many other things!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
