"All Because of the Mistake"

I first of all want to strate that the format of "All Because of a Big Mistake is great. You can actually sense the tenseness of the author/narrator's tone by the format of the writing. No simple breaks in paragraphs, just pur details in a consecutive format that can not stop. Why?! Because the pilot is on the verge of losing his mind; he thinks he is about to die. How can an aspiring pilot have this much stress and intensity when flying?! I would want him to be my pilot thats for damn sure.
The narrator has a million thoughts running through his head, and because of these million thoughts the pilot forget simple tasks that Bruno has to watch over. Its very possible that the narrator suffers from some form of A.D.D. (Attention Defecit Disorder) because he can't seem to focus on exactly what he should do; he's too focused on what could possibly go wrong.
After this on-going descriptions of the thoughts and worries that plague the narrator's mind he's finally called in to land. As you lands the author worries about the physical gestures he's made that might negatively influence Bruno, even though Bruno hasn't seen a thing. The narrator is truly an insecure individual.
As someone who's never been a pilot we can empathise with the narrator's situation. There's many different little things that must be done for a successful flight. Do any of us think we could handle that kind of pressure?
