SEARCHING FOR STAFF!!

THE ENTIRE BEACH HAD ERUPTED IN CRIMSON FLAME.
ALTHOUGH THE NEARLY CLOUDLESS SKY ABOVE WAS A STUNNING SHADE OF BABY BLUE, IT WAS COMPLETELY HIDDEN BY A MASSIVE LAYER OF THICK, BLACK SMOKE. THE REMNANTS OF THE AIRPLANE WERE SCARRED HAPHAZARDLY AROUND THE SHORELINE, MOST OF WHICH WERE BURNING IN THE INFERNO.
THE FUSELAGE HAD BROKEN INTO TWO SEGMENTS.
THE LARGER OF THE TWO, WHICH CONTAINED THE COCKPIT, RESTED ON THE BEACH, ABLAZE. THE LATTER HAD BROKEN OFF DURING THE PLANE’S DESCENT, CRASHING INTO THE BLUE OCEAN, ABOUT A MILE OFFSHORE. ONE OF THE TWIN JET ENGINES HAD EXPLODED UPON IMPACT, WHILE THE OTHER, WHICH HAD NOT BEEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED, CONTINUED TO SPIN, CHURNING THE BLANKET OF SMOG.
BLOOD AND DEBRIS COVERED THE WHITE SAND.
THE SCENE WAS TREMENDOUSLY LOUD, WHICH COULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO NOT ONLY THE ROAR OF THE SURVIVING JET ENGINE, OR THE CRACKLING OF THE BURNING WRECKAGE, BUT THE SCREAMING AND THE CRYING OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD NOT BEEN KILLED IN THE CRASH. NEARLY THIRTY OF THE ORIGINAL SIXTY TRAVELERS, ALL TEENAGERS BOUND FOR A SUMMER OCEANOGRAPHY CAMP OFF THE COAST OF AUSTRALIA, POPULATED THE SMOLDERING BEACH. THE MAJORITY OF WHICH HAD SUSTAINED INJURIES AND, AT PRESENT, IT SEEMED AS THOUGH NOBODY HAD ANY BACKGROUND IN FIRST AID.
