“Get out of plane,” Justin shouted, Teddu and he dropped to the ground…

When Kathy and Victor reached the edge of the meadow, flames(火焰) were shooting more than five meters into the air.

Kathy couldn’t believe what she was seeing. One glance told her they needed medical attention immediately. She questioned Justin“Is there anyone in the plane?”

“No,” he said.

“Where are you able to radio for help?”

“There was no time.”

Finally she saw her car in the distance.

She jumped into the car and sped away. She reached a holiday house and called the police.
