88 killed in a plane crash in Thailand

The author was Thomas Fuller. This article was about a plane that was coming into land at Phuket on Sunday. Thplane was landing as it rained and the wind was powerful. THe plane slid off the runway and crashed into a dirt mound. Many foreigners were on this plane and most were killed along with a few members of the crew. A few of the survivors said they didn't even here an explosion but when they were out of the plane they saw that it was on fire. From a video feed you could see that medical, fire, and police crews came to help the injured and to put out the fire on the plane. The plane was owned by a low-fair airline called One-Two-Go. There were 123 passengers on board. Chowalet Jitjamnong was one of the survivors who reported to TITV or Thai TV and told them about the crash.
In this article there are many connections to make. I made one text to self connection. I saw that the plane crash affected me because it showed me that nowhere is safe and we all eed to take a risk but the risks we take can help us or kill us. I made a text to text connection. This reminded e of United 93 even though the crash wasn’t cause by the same thing. I made a text to world connection. The world has the best and worst things happen to everyone the United States, Europe, and even Thailand. In these connections I saw the world makes a risk every day to try and improve the world. Sometimes these risk and helpeveryone in a country or even the world. Sometimes the risk back fires and it hurts people.
