A man has revealed the details of the 10 chilling visions he had shortly before a horrific plane crash that killed nearly 300 people.
Plane crashes have been far too regular in recent months, with the Air India flight perhaps the primary example, after 270 people were killed last month on a flight from Ahmedabad.
There are often ominous moments associated with the crashes, whether that be a certain seat being home to a lone survivor, or the pilot's last words before the disaster, but few can compare to the alleged visions of David Booth ahead of a huge plane crash in Chicago back in 1979.
He said: "Everybody talks about a dream and everybody has dreams. I didn't have a dream, I had a vision.

"The dream would always start out in the same way. It was a bright sunlit day and I'm looking at a very large airport and a very long runway and there's a really large plane.
"I can see American Airlines. I see the plane start to taxi on the runway and it gathers up speed. All of a sudden, as it's going off, there's a perception in my mind that there's something wrong with the sound that the engine is making."
Speaking to Our Paranormal World on YouTube, David describes seeing the plane go straight up in the air before it turns and goes straight back to the ground where it 'explodes in this humongous inferno and then this wave of despair.'
He adds: "Just like a physical object would just hit you right in the chest."

Just one of these visions would be enough for any person to worry but David would go on to have another nine of these visions each night, until a tragedy which killed 273 people occurred.
On 25 May 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 plunged to the ground just moments after take-off from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, US.
Unfortunately, despite David's best efforts, he wasn't able to provide any real details to Jack Barker, the FAA's public affairs director who initially took his call.
He recalled: "David sounded perfectly sane and credible, there was nothing kookie about him at all. He'd had a disturbing dream seven nights in a row (at that point).

"I would talk to him and listen to him but David's dream didn't give me enough information to do anything with it. It didn't give a location, it didn't give a flight - some numbers which didn't make any sense."
David recounted: "Every day, it got worse and worse and worse. Not knowing what to do, not knowing what I was supposed to do. Not being able to forget an image seared, not just into my mind, but into the very fabric of my entire being."
After one final vision, he felt sure that something had shifted and when he went into work that day he was informed that the flight had crashed moments after take off, and that there were no survivors.
Jack reflected: "It hit me just how accurate he was. What he dreamed was basically what happened."
