Plane Crash Near Alps Killing Five People -Hadassah Lai

Last Saturday, a great tragedy happened near the Alps. A family of five was on a small plane heading towards their home in Morocco after a sweet vacation in the French Alps. Detectives and policemen were immediately set on the accident, trying to figure out what had happened to cause this heartbreaking tragedy. According to a police man, the plane had disappeared off radar and had crashed shortly after takeoff from the airport. A resident had reported the crash immediately after he felt it. The resident said that he had felt the crash, and had immediately called the police knowing some kind of accident happened. He said that he did not see the wreckage and had found out that it was a plane crash from the fireman afterwards.

Although plane crashes do not happen frequently, this story has got me thinking about the many times I have been aboard a plane and have not crashed. I am so thankful that I have not been part of an airplane accident and that I hope the engineers and people will learn from the accident so that they can prevent it next time.
