Inside the plane, passengers in the front section were still unaware of the gravity of their situation. Student Jessop, looking out of a window, saw "an orange glow" and thought it was the sun. A moment later, Terrington instructed passengers to remain in their seats. But before the pilot, co-pilot and four flight attendants could begin to evacuate the plane, choking smoke, billowing up from the back of the aircraft, enveloped the cabin.

It has no known use except for espionage.

The frame becomes a prison for a sign of traditional vastness, the 19th century view of limitless America. But look closer and the ideal landscape is fatally cankered...
