the Military Flyer. Later on in the day, Orville got the passenger of his plane from the ride off and saw Selfridge waiting for his turn to ride the plane. Wilbur was by the side of the plane, holding the wing down. He had looked at Selfridge anxiously and thought that he might be too heavy for the plane to fly correctly. Orville had gotten on the plane with Selfridge sitting next to him. The catapult had released and the plane had shot off into the air. They were up gliding through the air. But suddenly

with nothing but yourself and a hatchet? After surviving a plane crash on the way to his dads, the main character Brian survived in the Canadian Wilderness for 54 days. Throughout the 54 days, Brain realized a lot of things that would help him survive. Out of all of the things Brain realized, I think that the two most critical aha moments was when he realized that he could make fire by using his hatchet, and when he saw the tail of the plane and realized that there could be some kind of survival pack

I hate planes, I always have. Ever since I was little I had a fear of ever doing an one of those unsafe pieces of metal flying through the sky. I made a promise to myself that I would never go on a plane, and I never thought that I would ever break that promise. I never like just giving up on something, like a promise. But, I really should have kept that promise. Because, if I did keep the promise to myself, I wouldn’t hear the screaming. I wouldn’t see all the crying. I wouldn’t have been

Hatchet was written by Gary Paulsen. In this novel, thirteen year old Brian is flying on a bush plane when the pilot suddenly has a heart attack and dies. Brian manages to keep the plane level until it crashes into a lake. Brian survives the crash, but that is just the beginning. Brian must find a way to survive the wilds of the Canadian forest if he ever hopes to be rescued. Hatchet is an adventure story that will take its character from a common city boy to a survivalist in a manner of days. Brian

Flight 1723 “30 people are confirmed dead and the rest are still missing from the crash site of flight 1723. This plane went down halfway through its flight to Pennsylvania. The causes of this wreck are unknown but some are suspecting terrorism.” The T.V. is clicked off as the door unlocks with a loud buzz. I’m sitting, handcuffed to the cold stainless steel table in a poorly lit room. The one light dangling overhead faintly illuminating the gray corners of the room. How did this happen? How did

nervously in her chair as she waited to board the plane. Her bright blue suitcase lay at her feet, and her fingers tapped her leg apprehensively. “You’ll be fine,” said Nicolette as she put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. “Planes almost never crash.” Almost never. After a few more minutes of nervous anticipation, Yasmine heard the flight attendant’s clear voice ring out over the airport, announcing that passengers were to start boarding the plane. Fear and excitement enveloped her. On one hand

Shortell (2016) wrote about the fatal crash of the Amtrak in Chester, Pennsylvania. On April 3, 2016, an Amtrak train, carrying about 341 passengers, crashed into a backhoe and killed two Amtrak employees (Ford, Yan, and Shortell, 2016). Investigations are still underway, because many people are wondering why and how did this happen and who’s at fault. There were a couple of passengers who talked about their experience as to what they had experienced during the crash. A woman had said that she felt like

Do you think you could survive a plane crash? I read the book Hatchet and the main character did just that. After the plane crash Brian went through more obstacles but he has survived all of them. One of them was getting attacked by a moose and right after that he got hit by a tornado and that made him stronger. The second one was trying to make a raft and that showed him to never give up. On day 1 it was really hard for Brian but on day 54 it got easy because he has made a lot of changes through

constantly asked me. What profession I was going to do? I always said I do not know what I am going to do. Then a friend came and said that the A&P mechanics were always hiring. Therefore, my friend and I started talking about planes. I had always been interested in planes; I always wanted to be in the air force, I could not join the air force because of my glasses and medical conditions. When my friend found out that W.A.T.C. was teaching A&P mechanics. He influenced me to join W.A.T.C. to get my

“We are going to crash!” Laura screamed from the back. My mind was spinning, what was I thinking saying say to stalling the plane, now we are all going to die. We were plummeting down toward the Lake. This is it I thought, date of death September 13th 2014. Suddenly, the engine roared back to life. Relieve flooded through my veins. Strangely, I wanted nothing more then for the plane to be stalled again. “That was amazing!” I said to Mr. Stacey with a grin. Earlier that morning at Freemen field
