Plane Crash
This article is about a Yankee Baseball pitcher who crashed his four seated plane into a high rise in Manhattan. He was flying through the New York area when he made a distress call complaining about gasoline levels. The plane was picked up on radar circling the Empire State Building then it was lost. It soon hit into the side of the Belaire condominium building. It crashed into the 39th and 40th floor. Many people on the street thought of 9/11 with worried confusion. People ran as rubble was falling from the building. The people in the rooms hit by the plane were evacuated safely with only a couple of burns.
This is relative to my life because just at that point in my life, I was taking interested in flying planes and I had started off in small ones just like that of the Yankee. This frightened me a little bit and I laid off flying for a little bit even though I was flying over rural land, I had a fear of crashing. This was a huge turning point also in my life because it also inspired me to get better at flying so I wouldn’t have to experience a situation as that. It also gave me caution to always fly with an instructor and keep my eyes out for anything dangerous. Even though I am much more cautious, I think this occurrence created me into a better flyer.
