The Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 crashed. The meaning of this flight was to take the team from Montevideo, Uruguay to Santiago, Chile. There were 5 crew members and 40 passengers. Some of them even brought their friends and family along with them on this trip. People on the plane when it crashed were stranded. The plane landed in the Andes Mountains. The plane had hit one of the mountains and lost one of its wings. The plane lost its other wing shortly after when it had hit another mountain. The people were panicking and didn’t know what to do at all. The plane went down really fast and landed right into the snow. This crash killed 12 people and left 33 survivors. Most of the survivors were injured and some died shortly after. Nobody
set out for help until December 12th. There were only 16 people alive at this point. They then saw Chileans on December 20th that were set up across a river. They communicated with them through notes back and forth. The Chileans notified authorities and got the people help. On December 22nd two helicopters were sent to the disaster. Only 6 that survived were flown to a safe area. Bad weather delayed the other survivors from safety until the next day. These people were starved, skinny, and in very bad condition. When they got to safety they started telling about their experiences and stories and how they felt about this whole thing. They all were very scared and shaking and crying. Once everything they settled and the people were all to safety, the started talking about everything more. Most of them had stated a they’d never step foot on a plane again. They also said that it changed their look on life. They realized how quick your life can flash before your eyes and you wouldn’t know anything about it happening. I think this experience gave good and bad outcomes.

At at stoplight, four cars were stopped, but a car accident occurred. Based on prior evidence from other cases, the back car is usually the culprit. Dr. Otto Mobile’s interview shows that he was not in a rush, going to lecturing a class, and he was behind a dancing woman, presumably dancing to music. Also, Ken Notstop was not in a rush as well and he was part of a tree business. Following Ken, Kelly Sion was interviewed, showing that she had a song stuck in her head. Due to the fact she wanted to exercise before she was supposed to open the gym, she was in a rush.. Anita Newcar was in a rush due to the fact that she was already late to work, and she was behind a car with trees and a nest on the back. Due to the fact that Kelly had a song stuck in her head, she could’ve been the woman dancing in a car that Dr. Otto Mobile mentioned, showing that she was in front of Otto. Because Ken was the only person

Critique of “First Flight” The “First Flight” is an excellent short story that made pathos for the reader to portray in the life of an everyman who has to deal with exclusion and people’s bad choices. Gregory is an 18 year old who just wants to be sociable but everyone just shuts him out and doesn’t pay attention to him. He stops in a train station to warm up and is ridiculed on a false accusation of stealing a pilot uniform. W.D Valgardson perfectly shows both of the main themes.
The excitement among people was cut short by the unfortunate delay in flight, because of maintenance on one of its engines. The passengers boarded the plane a couple of hours after the scheduled time. Finally, it was cleared for taxi on runway 26-Right. The pilots lined the aircraft parallel to the runway.

He arrived at his first destination after about an hour of hiking. After a short while he figured he had looked over his new found haven enough, he was ready. He started down the grade with a small arsenal, consisting of a shovel, about ten granola bars, two bottles of power-ade, his snowshoes, and what was left in his hydration bladder in his pack. After descending about two hundred feet he came into the clearing he was hoping to find, it was as smooth as silk, twenty inches of fresh powder under his board. Up ahead he say a small but formidable drop off on the mountain, he knew if he was going to escape this with his dignity he was going to have to work some magic, to his success. The drop was approximately eighteen feet, but he was ready for it, he landed perfectly, it was like a dream the poof of snow exploding out from his impact, and the gentle flakes hitting his face. As he continued down the slope he did not realize that his gentle landing had severely weakened the physical structure of the mountain’s blanket, and that any moment he could bring the mass down upon himself at impossible speeds.
