As he looked out the plane window, saw saw dark clouds gathering arround as the occasional lightning flashed in the sky.
He looked behind at only other passenger and noticed the level of unease, as he pretended or feigned unconcern,but the constant glance at the window betrayed his discomfort.

When Jason was informed of the decision by the board to send him to Africa to evaluate their consolidated holdings, he was just recovering from the death of his only son, it was a welcome decision to him because he felt flying out of the country and focusing on work else where, would give him a little solace.

As he entered the limousine shuttling him to the airport, he called his secretary who flew in ahead of him to hold the fort.
As he was driven in silence he heard the loud sirens of a motorcade, as his driver turned to the curb to give way, he wondered who it might be heading at that speed to the airport, a high profile person no doubt.

As he was driven into the airport, he soon forgot about the motorcade and settled his mind elsewhere.
As he walked towards the private aircraft wing of the airport, he noticed the unusual high number of security officers present.

As he stepped unto the tarmac, the air hostess stepped out to welcome him, walking into the plane he met another passenger seated already eyes half closed deep in sleep.

As he took his seat and strapped in for the flight, he made a mental note to ask why he wasn't informed of his fellow passenger.

Slowly the plane taxied to the runway as it received final flight instructions from the Control tower.
As it slowly gathered speed the other passenger stirred and looked around seeing Jason he nodded his head at him in greeting.

Over the North Sea, the pilot from his cockpit noticed the avionics glitch a little bit,as the Co-pilot went over the equipments again to make sure nothing was wrong with them.

As the air darken Jason felt his throat constrict, as he looked out the plane window, saw saw dark clouds gathering arround as the occasional lightning flashed in the sky.
He looked behind at only other passenger and noticed the level of unease, as he pretended or feigned unconcern,but the constant glance at the window betrayed his discomfort.

Back at the secured facility in the airport, Head of the I2S Julian walked into Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, already loaded into the Aircraft was high value Military intelligence Hardware.

As he walked on board, heavily armed I2S officers stood up and saluted.
Taking his seat and strapping in, the cargo hold closed and the plane slowly gathered speed, taking off into the sky.

As the plane crossed into the North Sea, the what felt like a shockwave hit the plane, as all on-board electronics failed the plane fell out of the sky dropping like a rock.

Jason panicked as the felt the aircraft a violently rock from side to side before dropping out of the sky. As the plane hustled tow the sea the life seemed to flash before his eyes.
As the looked behind he was surprised at the clarity through which he could see out the window, and he thought he was hallucinating when he saw beans of light flash into the sky.

As Julian and his men climbed out of the wreckage, he looked at the destruction caused by the crash, making a decision to seek higher ground to better understand the island terrain, he and his men set off.

Surprisingly the crash didn't really feel like a crash to Jason, maybe because he blacked out and came to when the plane already had hit the water, as he fought his way out he remembered the fellow passenger he never knew his name and wondered where he might be.
As he swam to the shoreline, he felt lightheaded and soon slept off where he lay.

As Jason came regained consciousness, he could see a man pulling him on a makeshift stretcher.

Looking around he saw what looked like large vultures flying overhead as he blacked out again.

As he woke up with a startle, he saw what he thought looked vaguely human throw what looked like lightning at a Spinosaurus.

As Julian and his men climbed over the the cliff and looked down, the world suddenly seemed to make zero sense as if the had walked into jurassic world.
As they picked their way carefully down, the heard the sounds of a massive jungle as pterosaurs flew over them.

Hello @octaviusx,
This is an intriguing story. There is a little confusion (for the reader) about who is on the airplane, but the scene and the crash are clear, as is the danger in which Julian finds himself. Certainly, you can write more here.
