Contributing to the cause of the accident was the Cherokee pilot’s interrupted radio transmission, which led to the Beech 1900C pilots’ misunderstanding of the transmission as an indication from the King Air that it would not take off until after flight 5925 had cleared the runway. Contributing to the severity of the accident and the loss of life was the

to still be alive as the aircraft was only 10 feet off of the ground at the time it came under fire.

The Northwest Regular Crew number six was the first to be on the scene, there objective was

This story should be the story of a hero. The story of Whip Whitaker, an excellent pilot, who with a malfunctioning airline jet in a uncontrollable dive to earth and with eminent death quickly approaching, remained calm and managed to control his own anxiety and direct others to execute an intuitive and intelligent plan that allowed him to fly and crash land the jet in a controlled manner as to minimize the loss of life. Out of 102 souls on the flight only 6

As they flew over the Canadian Wilderness, the worst thing that could possibly happen to the pilot, happened. “He stopped as a fresh spasm of pain hit him. Even Brian could see how bad it was--the pain drove the pilot back into the seat, back and down.” (page 10). This was the start of the symptoms for a heart attack, the pilot was having a heart attack. All Brian knew about the plane he was in was a brief lesson from the pilot and what he had read in books. “He was flying but did not where, had no idea where he was going. He looked at the dashboard of the plane, studied the dials and hoped to get some help, hoped to find a compass, but it was all so confusing, a jumble of numbers and lights.” (page 16). Once he had the plane in control, he had to use his knowledge to land. As a result of the heart attack, this was the start of the longest 54 days of his life, he was all alone

His Family was contacted when Sergeant Perez never showed up for roll call, but he wasn't there either. A search began to locate the missing officer with a dive team called in to look through the high water, but the rescue had to be stopped because it was too dangerous.

The plane comes to an abrupt landing on the runway. 00E jumps out and surveys the situation. The monster has destroyed much of San Francisco and is now destroying Freedom Tower. He jumps into the waiting helicopter and he is quickly briefed. In the briefing, he learns the US Army has been trying to take down the monster with conventional weaponry. Then he jumps out of the helicopter and lands safely on the ground near

I felt the drops begin to fall, and yelled, “Hurry! Help Me get the fly on!” We hoisted on the fly, then realizing the tent was going to blow away, put in some extra stakes. The next morning we woke up, dazed by the nights’ events, but excited and ready for adventure. We began our journey into the Tetons, heading to Jenny Lake, where frigid waters dared us to jump in. We began our journey up the mountain shortly after a quick breakfast, during which a man from the next campsite over gave us some extra pancake mix, which at the moment we had no time to use, and threw in the back of the car. Little did we know the lights in the car had stayed on while we went up the mountain. I headed the trip for a while, then fell to the back, drained by trying to stay in the lead and by lack of oxygen. We had to take breaks every few minutes because of the dispersed and unsatisfying amount of air we were able to breath in. All of the sudden, like flashes of lightning, Kurtis and Allison took the

During his travel, he goes a mountain to stop to clear his head and rest.

The mission commander, Jim Lovell later mentioned in an interview for a TV documentary show,

When making initial contact the citizen reaches a 911 Operator or a Dispatcher depending on the emergency communication center. Dispatchers collect as much detailed information from the caller as possible by listening carefully, asking focused questions and then broadcast a clear accurate account to first responders in the field. The support and safety of the citizens and first responders are often in the hands of the dispatcher (Silver, 2011p.3). If a dispatcher does not get detailed enough information it could lead the first responders into a dangerous situation and potentially cost them or the citizens their lives.

Montes returned to the scene and advised Pasadena PD Officers of the incident. Dispatch advised us that they did not receive a “911” call from Montes. Officer Harrell used Montes’ cellular telephone and dialed “911” which connected him to a Los Angeles CHP dispatcher. The CHP dispatcher pulled up the call history of Montes telephone number. The dispatcher advised Officer Harrell that Montes did not provide any details of the incident or his location before the call lost connection.

The paralysis made it difficult for him to focus on the things right in front of him. He stumbled to the basket that the helicopter had lowered and climbed into it. The helicopter headed back to base after all of the rangers dragged themselves safely on-board.

With a mob of Somalis approaching the crash site and after repeated requests Delta Force Snipers, SFC Randall Shughart and MSG Gary Gordon were inserted via helicopter near the crash. They were able to extract the flight crew from the wreckage and set up a defensive perimeter. Their actions managed to save the life of one of the pilots, but they lost their own lives in defense of their comrades. They would be posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. The surviving pilot, CW2 Michael Durant, was captured by Aideed’s militia.
