Crashing in a Back Door

The plane then reportedly filled with thick smoke with flames shooting from the rear of the plane. The passengers struggled to get though either the emergency exits or through holes in fuselage that were torn open due to the crash. The rescue effort was also slowed due to power outages on the field. The bay doors for the rescue vehicles needed to be open manually slowing the rescue crews from getting to the plane. Overall a total of 11 people died including Captain Richard W. Bushmann, a 20-year veteran with American Airlines. 83 of the 143 passengers were injured.

Emergency personnel worked for many hours in the frigid cold, impeded as they were by the stainless-steel Amfleet cars' skin's resistance to the ordinary hydraulic rescue tools at their command, to extricate trapped passengers from the wreckage as helicopters and ambulances transported injured people to hospitals and trauma centers. It was over 10 hours after the collision before the final trapped persons were freed from the

What did survive was a mountain of wreckage, fire, smoke, tail section, wing sections, cockpit, engine

The explosion ripped through a port side berthing compartment of the construction and repair gangs, killing and wounding many of the men while they slept. The repair crews fought hard and were able to save the ship, despite suffering heavy casualties in the explosion.

Jupiter shielded Thomas with his musket gun as they ran blindly through the night. Suddenly a cannon ball came hurling straight at the pair, there was hardly anything to prevent it from stopping. That’s when Jupiter dived for Thomas and thrust him out of the way. Thomas was flung away with such force like a child throwing a rag doll. Thomas groggily stood up, his left arm was dangling at his side in an awkward angle, only a strand of his remaining muscle kept the bloody arm from falling off his body. There was a ringing in his ears but the pain didn’t compare with anything that he saw behind him. Thomas saw the the carcass of Jupiter aflame, the body was charred black on the outside but cismon blood oozed out from within and his face was unrecognizable melted monstrosity. Thomas threw up from the horror he witnessed. Despide his loss he knew he had to take his message requesting

In the utility room, he noticed on the wall pictures of skulls and what he later described as an image of “the Grim Reaper.” Then he turned into the master bedroom, where Amber’s body had been found. Most of the damage there was also from smoke and heat, suggesting that the fire had started farther down the hallway, and he headed that way, stepping over debris and ducking under insulation and wiring that hung down from the exposed ceiling.

One helicopter along with a C-130 lay engulfed in flames. Eight U.S. service men valiantly laid down their lives. The deceased U.S. troops, weapons, helicopters, maps, and Top Secret plans remained behind. A failed rescue mission would be known to the world the next morning and leave an open wound for the United States and the Special Operations community.

quickly consumed the ship. Many souls drowned that day and many more were victims of the fire and

In the space ship do you still have the fuel.” “Yes and I actually found it dismantled in a room so we have to fix it to get home so let's go in the vents to get

But then, there was a hissing noise coming from one of the connecting segments to the other capsules. Neko was on the other end of the rocket so another crew member, Ark, went to check it out. He got out of his seat inside of his capsule and went to investigate the connecting segment as the ship was basically a large hallway with all of the connectors and capsules. Once Ark got to the source of the alarming sound, it was too late. The connector blew out and it took Ark and his capsule with him. Neko screamed to the other crew members to close their capsules off from the connectors on either side, but nobody could hear his cries over the sound of the initial explosion and the oxygen flowing out of the rocket. It sounded like a plane taking off. Neko was forced to close his capsule off from the rest of his dying crew. The explosion killed 2 crew members immediately and then the harsh vacuum that is space sucked out and eventually killed the other 3, leaving only

Intercity no. 11 barge on the side at about a 45 degree angle. The collision caused the steel hulls of the two vessels to rub against each other and create sparks and heat from the friction. These sparks and heat could have potentially been the ignition source of the fire. The crude oil had an estimated flashpoint of 80 degrees Fahrenheit meaning the oil was a grade C flam¬mable liquid. Fire and explosions started in the first few minutes on Intercity no. 11. The Midwest Cities immediately went full astern to get away from the fire and Intercity no. 14 drifted away. The Intercity no. 11 grounded and sank. The vapors from the escaped crude oil were blown over the African Star’s bow and ignited. The flames spread throughout the ship. The fire was in hold 2, 4, and 5. The paint was burning and the supplies and cargo on deck was also on fire. The smoke was very thick and it filled a large portion of the ship, including the engine space and living quarters. The pilot decided the best option was to run the vessel aground to aid in the firefighting and rescue operations. There was burning oil around the vessel in the water. Some people tried to jump overboard but they would land in the fires. Many people tried to escape out the port holes due to the fact that they were trapped in their room. Many people’s life jackets and clothing caught on fire and they burned. Ropes on the life boats had burned, which made evacuation difficult.

The first group of soldiers on the scene launched a mortar shell at 10 advancing creatures marching in unison toward them, two abreast. The shell exploded before the two first rows of creatures and destroyed them only to see the remaining three rows march over their fallen comrades without care, and then those fallen comrades rise from the ground to take flank and continue their advance, forming the rear. In retaliation one of the creatures marching in the front line raised its hand in a staccato motion to present what appeared to be a laser bolt emitting from the parabolic flashbulb disk device it held. The beam was aimed into the radiator of an advancing troop truck resulting in total destruction of the truck and its personnel in a fireball explosion. Without mercy this was repeated with an ambulance, causing it to upturn crashing into a tree, setting itself

someone’s lost in the darkness. But as it dies, it explodes with its remains being scattered,

People who were sleeping were woken and people playing cards were disturbed. People close to the collision could feel the vibration of the holes being punctured into the side of the ship.

The cockpit and passenger areas were destroyed. All of the instruments were destroyed as well. The throttle quadrant was damaged, but it did show that all the levers, props, throttle, mixture and feathering levers were pushed forward into the panel. Initial cable tracing showed remaining integrity, but due to damage from the impact and the resulting fire, actuator positions were inclusive. There were large metal trunks scattered throughout the
