Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te kaitiaki putea o te taunga rererangi o Seattle i oho mai i tana moe i roto i te papa utanga o te rererangi, kia kitea ai ko te jet kei te rangi, i karanga nui ia ki te 911 ki te tono awhina. Ko te Rererangi o Alaska Airlines 448 e haere ana ki Los Angeles i akiaki kia huri me te hoki ki te Taunga Rererangi Taiao o Seattle-Tacoma i te Mane i te wa i rongo ai nga kaihihi i te pupuhi me te tono mo te awhina mai i te waahanga utanga o te jet. I whakakitea i muri mai ko te kaimahi kore ingoa o te kirimana rererangi a Menzies Aviation i moe i roto i te rererangi i te mutunga o tana huringa ka oho noa i te wa i te rangi, tata ki te 14 meneti ki te rerenga. Panuku ki raro mō te oro me te ataata. Ka taea e koe te whakarongo ki ahau inaianei? Koinei te wā i tangohia mai ai tētahi kaitiaki putea o Alaska Airlines i roto i te ruuma uta i muri i tana moe. I mua ake nei, i karanga te tangata mataku ki te 911 e inoi ana ki te kaiwhakahaere mo te awhina. Ko te kaitiaki putea tenei i moe i runga i te rererangi o Alaska Airlines mai i Seattle ki Los Angeles i te Mane. I te Rāhoroi, ka tukuna te karanga a te kaitiaki putea kua mau ki te 911 e whakaatu ana i te wehi me te wehi o te tangata. Ka mea ia ki te kaiwhakahaere, 'Kaore au e taea te eke ki tēnei rererangi!' Ka uaua te wahine ki te mārama ki te mea e tupu ana, a ka tono whakamārama. 'Kei hea koe?' te pātai a te kaituku. 'Kei roto ahau i te waka rererangi, ā, e whakaaro ana ahau kei te rere i te rangi,' te whakautu a ia. Katahi ka karanga te kaimahi o te taunga rererangi i te tau o te rerenga, ka tohe ki te kaiwhakahaere kia karanga atu ki te awhina. 'Ka taea e koe te inoi, ka taea e tetahi mutu te reira?' inoi ia. Ka nui haere te riri o te tangata i te waea, e kii ana ki te wahine i te pito o te raina kaore ia i te taunga rererangi, engari kei roto i te rererangi rere. I a ia e kaha ana ki te whakaatu i tana ahuatanga, ka tiimata te tapahi i te waea, ana ka mutu te waea. I whakamatau te kaiwhakahaere ki te waea atu ki taua tangata, engari kua kore e mahi tana waea. He waimarie ki te kaimahi rererangi moe, he waimarie ake ki nga kaihihi i runga i te Rererangi 448 i rongo i tana patuki me tana hamama ka whakatupato i te roopu. 'Awhina mai! He awhina! Āwhina mai!
I eke noa atu a Flight 448 i te Mane i te wa i rongo ai te paerata i te pupuhi mai i raro. Ko te waka rererangi i Los Angeles i whakahokia ki Seattle mo te taunga ohorere. I waea atu tētahi kaimahi ki te 911 me te tono i te kaiwhakahaere ki te karanga i tētahi ki te whakamutu i te waka rererangi. I muri iho ka puta mai ia he marino engari i kawea ki te hōhipera hei whakatūpato. I whakahaeretia te whare uta me te pāmahana e whakahaerehia ana, nō reira kāore te tangata i te mōrearea.
