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.

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...
