"That's incredible," I said as the helicopter — book: Private Rio — author: James Patterson
The sun finally illuminated the iconic white Jesus statue atop Corcovado Mountain in Rio, offering a breathtaking view of the city. Over the past two months, I had seen the statue from many angles, but experiencing it from a police helicopter at eye level provided a new perspective on its size and elegant design. The experience was so moving that, despite being a lapsed Catholic, I felt a profound sense of awe and excitement.
