Chapter 1: Proving The Prediction
After calming down for a minute, he looked at his two teachers, one who was his favorite and he could talk business with. 'Murnau has been there for me, since I joined both the French club and the aviation piloting club here. If I can get to him and Miss Lewton, we can a few hundred lives and from my premonition, I have tell them both what I saw.'
'And before the trio leave.' he thought as he heard the words spoken by his English teacher then. Before she could say it, the white shirt clad boy lunged at him and his French teacher snapped at him. "Carter no, calm down now!" he said sternly as his best friend pushed him back as the female guard pressed her hand on his side then gently.
"Stay the fuck down Carter, sit!" he said as the male guard gripped his shoulder tightly as he held him back and the female guard watched him. "You got this?" the co pilot asked and he nodded. "Nobody gets back on board, that's my call." he said and Valerie Lewton charged over to him as she said it as her partner shoved the white shirted boy back.
"What's the kid's problem?" the co pilot asked and she said it with a sternly. "Short temper, but I don't know who of the duo started that fight with you." she said and he nodded sternly as she said it to him. "Please I got 40 students headed for Paris." she said and and he nodded. "Understand my position." he said and she nodded as she said it.
"I do, I undestand your position and I apologize for Alex, but one of us has to be on that plane, I can not let all those students go to Paris for ten days without supervision." she explained as she shifted her gaze to and saw her troublesome student being restrained. And by the security guards while her other student was beginning to relax and hid a sigh.
"Only one of you can get back on, but that's it." the co pilot said and she nodded with a sigh at that. "Larry!" she said to the man standing in front of him as he left his hand on his shoulder at that, before he moved to her then as he checked something. And saw the word judgement as shot through him as he heard her say it to him then gently.
"The airline is not taking this well, they'll let one of us back on and the rest of us can take an 11:10 flight, it gets in 3 hours later at De Gaulle, it's alright, it's not a big deal..." she started to say to him then and he said it then firmly, but gently. "I'll stay, but at the moment, I think he needs me at the moment anyway." he said and she shook her head.
"No you know the whole French thing, get on the plane, it's fine, it's fine." she said and hearing that remark, the boy looked between them as he tried to pull himself together. And closed his eyes as he got control of himself then. 'No, they leave and it happens they'll all die, I have to tell them now.' he said and straightened up as they relaxed.
He quickly spoke up at that as he quickly said it to them. "Sir wait, Miss Lewton, Mr. Murnau please, before you leave, Sir, please, just hear me out." he said and Lawrence, 'Larry' Murnau nodded as he moved to him as he crouched and looked into his eyes. 'Ten years, for 10 years he was fine, this has never happened before, so why now exactly.'
'Just what did he see or dream about, if he had that reaction on the plane, son, whatever this is about, you know I'll do what I can for you, but tell me.' he thought as he looked into his eyes gently as he said it then as Todd moved to him. "Alex, what just happened in there, I never seen you like this before?" he asked, looking at him gently then at that.
"Look I'm sorry, Sir, I'm not sure, but the shock of what I saw caused that, but what I just saw I can't explain it, call it hunch or a lucky guess. But I'm telling you the truth, leave and it could kill everyone on board, my class, 2/3's of my class is on board the plane." he said and the security relaxed at the rational tone in his voice then gently.
"I never started that fight, I was going to Commander Patrick Harrison, I had to talk to him and the co pilot as well as the captain to delay a couple hours. Giving us until the new flight time to run a couple safety checks, that was all I was doing." he said and the male guard nodded in relief they got the real reason for the definition to that remark.
"Harrison, why exactly?" Lewton asked and he explained that. "His twin is my mother, Linda Harrison/Browning, Uncle Patrick knows I'm an uneasy flyer. But that tank laid a safety hazard that I was bringing to his attention, and with it now. I was going to suggest we run a few safety check to check engine and electronics for shorts and leaks now."
"Whatever reason he had to punch me in the face, I don't know, but that dream, vision, whatever, laid the effect if I never brought it to your attention, and before we left. But I never started that fight, I never did anything, but that image was the cause. I'm okay now, but I have to talk to the duo." Alex said and the four adults relaxed slightly at that.
"If you're about to tell us what you saw, maybe you can tell us why he was fighting with you?" The female guard said and before the white shirted clad boy could say it, she held her hand up. "You're in enough trouble as it is, and I'm talking to him, so keep your mouth shut, young man." Murnau said for the four of them sternly at that response.
And as the leader of the duo answered him. "Who of you started this fight exactly if Commander Jenkins dragged him out and threw him in the chair?" he asked him and he sighed. "He did, but I can explain after we get the duo back in here, but I'm not drunk and I'm not on drugs, it's Krueger for real this time." he said and she nodded firmly.
Nodded to his best friend and he went to get some wet towels then, so she could cool him down, as he quickly did it and gave it to her. "Anyone of two dozen explanations, but I know you, this never happened before. So let me have it Alex, just what triggered that exactly if you're soaked in sweat." Lewton said, before repeating it to him gently then.
"Alex talk to me, tell me what happened." Lewton said gently to that and he sighed. "Before you decide to disembark, Sir, just give me a chance to explain this and could you get the steward who asked me that question back in here and with him the co pilot?" he asked and the receptionist nodded as she went to get the duo back in there then.
"I'm not the one who started this fight, but you arrived at the wrong time, Billy, because the idiot caused a pile up in the aisle. One that could have resulted in someone getting trampled, not your fault, but Carter socked me in the jaw. Before they dragged him out of the plane here." he said and the boy nodded as he looked at the white clad boy then.
And in anger at that news. "So why is he pissed at you exactly, if that was not a prank, but a warning?" he asked and Alex ran a hand through his hair. "That I don't know, but whatever reason we can go into later, but before you start asking to get back on board. Just give me a chance to explain why that happened in the first place here now."
"But Billy stop, don't start arguing, there is something I have to explain here at the moment." he said sternly and the blue jersey dressed boy nodded to him. "God you look like hell man, were you up all night last night?" he asked and he sighed. "Something woke me up but when it did, I saw the zero on my clock change from a zero to an 8."
"So 1:00a.m., became 180." he said and he nodded in shock. "As in flight 180?" his best friend asked and he nodded. "Yeah." he said and the trio surrounded him. "What else as I felt it as you saw whatever happened before you had that panic attack in there?" the girl asked sitting next to him and he swallowed as he answered her, hoping she believed him.
"Following that is before the attack on the plane. Christa had the very same conversation with me that I had before that attack. And with it, the latch on my tray broke off in my hand when I tried to close it, as we were boarded. But is it possible you dream of what could happen, as you re-enact the same conversations before something happens."
"But twice in 10 minutes, that's the indicator, I'm not sure what it was I just saw a bit a ago, but honestly here at the moment. I'm not the one that started this fight Sir. But he attacked me, and had the co pilot not grabbed him in there right now. Then he would have beat the crap out of me after punching me in the face here right now, Sir, Mam."
"Although why, if his attitude is anything to go by and..." he started to say and then got a whiff of something he recognized. "Oh no, not again." he said and Murnau said it quickly to that. "What's wrong now exactly?" he asked and he said it sternly to them. "Does anyone else smell that?" he asked and the other boy swallowed hard at that remark then.
"That's whiskey, alright who was drinking before they boarded the plane?!" Murnau said sharply and the quintet shook their heads. "That's why he attacked me, his coach, who is also our chemistry teacher was on board the plane. George reported him for speedballing with the caffeine pills and I guess he thought I busted him, even before I busted him."
"Oh are you kidding me, right now Carter, you out of your damned mind?!" Alex said sternly to him and they watched his face pale at that. "You really never expected me to catch you in the act, Carter, we both know you're in rehab. And 2) that anyone drinking that crap, smells like they fell in a barrel of it." he said sternly and then said it firmly.
"This is why you freaked out, you were trying to keep from getting caught with it on you, you jumped to conclusions and got everyone of us kicked off the plane. You idiot, my uncle is the back up co pilot, I was going to talk to him for a bit. What did you think I was doing, reporting you to Coach Caine." he said and the boy swallowed hard at that news.
"I don't know what you're talking about." he said and Alex crossed his arms sternly. "Oh really, well can you give us another reason why you're scared that guards just arrested you. Or maybe you can explain to the authorities as the cops after explaining it to them. The security guards as the guards are like the cops right now, or just TSA now."
"As that outburst had you being restrained by the co-pilot, before being dragged out here, but you nearly trigger a riot and pile up in the aisle. Just as Billy gets on the plane, but that choice right now, what if someone had a pocket knife. And you knocked them over and they landed directly on top of it, or someone got trampled in the aisle as well."
"You out of your damn mind, you could have hurt someone on that plane." he snapped at the boy then, as he closed his eyes as he saw the matches get too close to the tank. Or landed near the trays in the galley and nodded in shock, as he saw the explosion. And as it destroyed the tank destroying the wall and his eyes narrowed in fury then as it hit him.
'It would have to be a fucked up god to take down this plane, a really fucked up god.' he heard his best friend's brother's remark in his head and nod. 'Not a god, just a beyond dangerously enraged athlete furious I try to prevent it, an explosion. By preventing that oxygen tank from destroying the room.' he thought as he focused on that image then.
Seeing the flame warning on the tank his inner eye landed on a packet of matches, followed by the song and then the clue of the night before as it all came together. "Are you out of your god damned mind Carter, you ever look at that tank. Sitting in front of the woman when you took your seat?!" he snapped in disgusted anger at him then.
"You ever consider that one false step could have resulted in my warning right now anyway, dream, vision or whatever. Only showed the conclusion, but what if it was pointing out the prime suspect, when Billy arrived, you had a smirk on your face. And he had to go around to sit next to Jaine and Ms. Lewton, so examine that more closely."
"That shout out right could have happened anyway if that tank got knocked over, and you would be responsible." he said and the boy swallowed hard at that news. "I could count at least 10 to 24 reasons for it to happen and 12 are because of you. And out of a temper tantrum and jumping to conclusions." he said and the quartet nodded sternly at that.
"Whatever reason that nightmare came true as a result, you had to opt out the possible factors and tried to get to the captain's cabin. To alert them to that fact, or someone involved in piloting the plane was arriving and you were going directly to them. To suggest something though what, we can go into in a second, so with that, Alex."
"That was no nightmare was it, you were seeing the future, and one mis-step could cause it to happen anyway, because he immediately assumed you were going to Eric?" Lewton said sternly and he nodded to her. "Yeah, but Patrick Harrison is my mother's twin, he's one of the flight attendants in the pilot's cabin." he said and they nodded in shock then.
"You guys all knew, has this ever happened before, that one single vision, could mean the difference between life and death. I developed the same ability that the bible proclaimed right, has this, in the entire 5 to 10 since we met, has this ever happened before?" he asked her and she shook her head. "No it hasn't." the duo said together at his question.
"That's reason enough to take it seriously, with you acting completely rational, and are not the one acting like he's loaded right now." the blonde girl said to him at that. "Yeah and I was bringing that to his attention as Uncle Parrick hadn't arrived on the plane yet. With the pilot, I had to talk to them, in private." he said and the quartet nodded slowly.
"It wasn't about Carter Horton, but the safety of the entire plane manifest and he attacks you for no damn reason, as I can guess that image was beyond traumatizing. If you had that reaction, and before we arrived as we arrested him, but not you." the female guard said and he nodded and she and her partner nodded sternly as the boy swallowed hard.
"You were going to Commander Harrison to discuss this in getting the tank secured?" the boy repeated, shaking, realizing he made a big mistake. "That and we should check for shorts and the tank for holes, the fuel tank at the moment. I was going to my uncle so we can run a few safety checks before we left." he said slowly to emphasize it then.
As the guard saw the look. "You never read my family records, but here's something to consider, but the third flight attendant on the plane. His name is Patrick Harrison, but my mother's maiden name is Harrison, that's her twin brother I was going to talk to." he said and the boy paled at the news as he realized he was going to them to talk over it.
"So 'remove yourself' really meant you were going to talk to your uncle, so you could tell him to secure that tank and check the engine for shorts or holes, is that it?" Lewton asked and he nodded to her. "I wasn't leaving the class, I had to make a recommendation to Uncle Patrick, so we get that tank secured and secondly run a few safety checks here."
"What I just saw was a shocker, but he misinterpreted it as that I was going to get you guys and attacked me. But the vision just gave the conclusion, but anyone of two dozen possibilities could have resulted in that vision anyway. I had to get 3 of them checked off before we left, before running a scan on the plane." he said and the duo nodded sternly.
"That makes more sense then you screaming wolf for no reason right now." Murnau said and the two guards nodded in agreement to that. "I knew you were going to consider that once I explained this to you, but like the co pilot, what's more important. Checking to see my claim is true, with a few hundred people on board right now in this case."
"He'd see this as a reason to double check at the moment, but at the moment that's why I had to get him back in here so I can suggest we run a few safety checks. And get the tank secured before we left at the moment, before I caught something now. But that tank, with the lever in the on position is an accident waiting to happen here."
"But I was trying to get that tank secured and run a few safety checks, I was trying to protect everyone from a possible accident as a result of angered irrational behavior." he said and they nodded in relief they got a reason for that attack. "So that's all it was, you going to your uncle to run a few safety checks?" Lewton said and he nodded to her softly.
"Smart move kid, if that gave the conclusion, then we give the entire scan as we get that possibility double checked and check everything." The female guard said and the trio nodded in agreement to that remark. "But knowing your thought patterns and the direction they take, what I said could mean foul play, I get that, but honestly now."
"My uncle is skilled in explosions and what causes them, but that brings it to you now Carter, but look at my rational explanation. As I just explained it to them, I can see it in their eyes, my reaction, that they can understand. But your's they won't, look at the charges carefully right now, unprovoked attack, disturbing the peace, a near riot now."
"And you looking like you're loaded here, you think they're not going to suspect you for bringing contraband on board the plane. You know the laws on smoking or tampering with the lavatory restrooms, but one spark could destroy the plane. How about sabotage by doing it in the lavatory, you think they're not going to suspect you, Carter."
"When the premonition pointed out several factors to me, but of 190 adults on the plane, only one would take the warning seriously when he's a chemistry expert. And knows the dangers of mixing liquids and gases and what happens if there is a spark. Or a lit match next to said, I was bringing that to his attention." Alex said and the quartet nodded.
"So going to talk to the trio about securing the tank and running a few safety checks in case something explodes or shorts out. You were only considering our safety with a baby on board the plane." his best friend said and he nodded to him. "It gets worse, but 1/10th of them are from our home town, you guys, including us, and our class now."
"But Robby Parker, Peter Taylor and his sister and 70 others in the cabin and ahead of us, 1/10th of our town is on that plane. Along with us right now, everyone on the plane was at risk." he said and they nodded in shocked disbelief. "The town is 5,000 people, 1/10th aside from us was on board that plane?!" Lewton repeated and he nodded firmly to her.
"The baby, Robby?!" Murnau said in shock and he nodded to him. "Yeah and Peter was the owner of the tank." he said and Lewton nodded as she covered her mouth as she tried to control her anger at the other bot at that remark. "This was no provocation, I was just going to discuss safety checks with the captain and Uncle Patrick now on it."
"And he freaks out as Jenkins grabs him and then hits me, but I never provoked him, I never did anything, this was an unprovoked attack in his case. What did I do to have him attack me here exactly." he said and the two teachers nodded sternly at the news. "You never did anything, that was an unprovoked attack." Murnau said slowly to that remark.
"He attacked you because of that one remark alone, when you were just considering our safety at the time. This is not a provocation, he attacked you for no damn reason, but I could consider that a reason to have him expelled. Or 2) he be held for 18 hours till he cools down right now." Lewton said and the trio nodded in agreement to that news.
"Yes, I consider that more plausible then you screaming wolf for no reason right now, but his actions point him as the probable suspect for attacking you. And for only saying you were going to talk to your uncle who is a back up pilot on the plane." The female guard said and Lewton nodded sternly as Murnau said for both of them at that remark.
"So why the hell did you attack him for that simple remark, Carter, I could consider that assault and battery, he did nothing for you to attack him like that. All he was doing was heading for the front of the plane to talk to Patrick. There is no taking back that action, and I don't want to hear an excuse, just wait till Eric hears this because I'm telling him."
"But that one action could get you expelled as it's like the time when George was turning you in for a health violation. And you attacked him after he saw the caffeine pills in your locker?" Murnau said and he swallowed hard, realizing he jumped the gun and just got arrested for making a big mistake as he realized that his actions spelled desperation.
"Don't blame me for your actions, Carter and just wait till the authorities hear in why you attacked me for only considering the lives and safety. And of everyone on the plane, consider that both them and the fact you're sneaking contraband on the plane. So what if one of them, the agent, is an older version of me and considers ones of us is on drugs."
"If they get the FBI involved in this and they see I was right all along, you think they or the airline is going to let it go on the following. Once I turn myself into him and his partner, you blew the first impression and they, like the adults on the plane. Let alone the airline, even the guards, they see you as a troublemaker, me that I could do no wrong."
"In their eyes, they take a chance on my theory, proven correct, I get hailed a hero for getting everyone off the damn plane. And I explain everything to the agents that are sent to investigate why the damn thing exploded and they see this as whatever you're on. It has you looking like a survivor terrorist for not staying sober or controlling your temper."
"Reading this out carefully, I can see the looks on the quartet, you attacked me for no reason, I risked an arrest, getting arrested. Just to get the plane checked, they'll let it go when we prove I was right all along, however your actions. They spell out fear and desperation to the police, the medical council and FBI." Alex said and he paled at that.
And as the guards nodded sternly to his hypothesis then. "I never did a damn thing for you to attack me, you think that the FBI or just the cops are going to take that lightly. Especially if our department is the one that gets chosen as home base for the agents. Whoever it is that gets chosen to run this investigation and one of the agents now."
"He considers one of us, the six of us, was on drugs or drinking as the reason for that outburst and the fact you nearly knocked the tank over. And now sees you, like they do, as the troublemaker, while for me, I could do no wrong." he asked, pointing at the duo and he swallowed hard at that remark as the duo nodded sternly to him in agreement.
"He's right, that's the direction our thoughts are taking now, you are a troublemaker, he can do no wrong in our eyes. If he's proven correct, you blew the first good impression to us, and the medical council, especially if the town prcinct is involvec. The FBI, you think we won't suspect you of foul play now." the male guard said with a stern tone to him.
"And definitely not when we decide to take a chance on his theory at the moment if that plane is on it's last legs, we prove him right he just gained such a record with us all. That the agent, whoever it is takes an active interest in him, to him, he's suspecting you now. But your behavior is like you're on drugs." The female guard added with a stern tone.
Leaving her arm across Alex's shoulders then as she sat on the arm rest next to him as she saw her presence and the brunette were helping him in staying calm. And she decided to stay put next to him gently as he furthered that. "I never did anything and risking an arrest by getting the plane checked is undestandable by the FBI now."
"But if the agent is an older version of me, in every way, takes an active interest in me if they're staying for who knows how long. Guess who turns into another family friend and my mentor once I get into a college, as my expertise becomes his active interest. Your actions spell out you're the prime suspect now, and as I clarify my meaning to him now."
"Him and his team mate, the chief, the fire department, the arlines, if there is a doctor on board that plane, and when 2/3's of the manifest is from Mount Abraham?" he said and the boy paled as he realized he recognized 70 of the faces on the plane. "The woman with the baby, Mrs. Parker, the man on oxygen, Peter Taylor and his sister, Jane."
"Little Robby?" Lewton said, remembering the baby's mother ran the coffee shop in town and he nodded. "Little Robby Parker, I saw several faces I recognized, Peter Taylor and Jane were headed for Paris for two weeks just like we were. But to name them off: Dwayne Hancock, Jessica Parker Sanderson, Terry Dennison, William Ibanez."
"Eric Stanley, Dillon Jacobs, Robert Carson, Adam Hawkins?" Alex said naming a few members on the plane and he swallowed hard at that. "Oh god, if they saw the spectacle on the plane they're going to spread this around town you're proven right. And tell the others that he attacked you for only going to Patrick so he can run a safety check."
"Rather then telling us you decided to tell Patrick what you just saw and get him to convince the co pilot to check. And for any problems on the electronics or the fuel tank for holes in the fuel lines?" Lewton said as she got what he was saying and he nodded. "Yeah that's it exactly, but my behavior's understandable after that shock, but his isn't."
"So it wouldn't be me to have caused that explosion if they did a re-enactment of this situation on the big screen, instead it would be you, Carter. While I head for pilot's cabin and report that we needed to have the tank secured. But look at your actions in the eyes of the authorities." he said slowly and the two guards nodded concerned then at that.
"I'm trying to protect our town locals and the vistors from getting hurt or worse and the wild reaction, by you. That could have killed everyone on the plane, you would have been the prime suspect for nearly killing our town locals. If word gets out all over town they'd see, once I explained this to Parker, I was going to my uncle to run a safety check."
"But you ever consider that your reaction is the reaction of a desperate man after I said that, that it looks like, to them, that you're trying to save your skin. To them, this looks like you attacked me for ratting you out for carrying the evidence. But trust me this could be considered as you'd be the prime suspect." he said and they nodded in agreement
"What are you talking about?!" the boy asked shaking and he said it with one remark sternly. "That your behavior and actions regarding me, that could be considered starting a riot right now, or the fact you could have killed someone by knocking that tank over. How about the pile up in the aisle, the fact you hit me, assault and battery right now."
"Attempted murder, a riot in the plane, a pile up in the aisle, you think the judge is not going to throw the assault and battery charge at you. Or disturbing the peace, by causing a riot, or even, now, the fact that the evidence in your luggage suggests destruction. And of airline property, if the TSA check your carry ons?" Alex asked and he paled at that.
"What's in that tank if you needed to bring that to our attention after Jenkins threw him off the plane and the five of you with him?" the female guard asked and he explained that. "As I said I know them all, we see each other when on the weekends, but here it is now, that tank, it belongs to Peter Taylor, but the reason he needs it now is this."
"Peter Taylor is an asthmatic needing to be on oxygen to breathe, he's also heavily disabled, I got a very good look at him, but his sister Jane, was prepping him for it. Peter maybe heavily disabled, but that doesn't stop him from working his job. But right now he and Jane are going to visit their parents in Paris at the moment, but the tank."
"That tank was in range of the aisle, so as a result the fact he immediately got up, when the steward said he would remove me. That is grounds to cause a near murder on 3 charges, disturbing the peace on 12 counts. And destroying airline property, but the first is reckless endangerment, the tank." he said and she nodded sternly to him at that.
"My class is scattered around the cabin, but the person in range of the tank if it landed in either direction was Mr. Murnau and Janie. And both areas are right next to the escape hatches, 1) it hits the wing it could destroy the engine. And causing the plane to explode anyway, that's the problem." he said and Murnau nodded as he said it slowly to that.
"What's wrong Alex?" Murnau asked him and he explained that. "Did you see the tank in front of Peter at the front aisle, on my side of the aisle?" he asked and they nodded. "The man is on oxygen, that tank is bordering 5ft, so answer this: what would happen if it gets knocked over in that type of struggle?" he asked and the man straightened up at that.
"A tank that size is like a torpedo!" Lewton said in shock and he nodded. "Or more accurately a rocket, it's as close to the stingers in the military as possible. So with that in mind, upright and the tank is closed off, it's safe just treat it carefully. But it collapses and it's filled to the brim and and it turns into a loose stinger rocket cannon now."
"So what direction could it go if it landed on it's side in either direction, and the blow causes it to to go off. And both were connected to why I raised the alert, someone has a pocket knife or just brought a lighter in their stuff, even a packet of matches. So what happens if it comes into contact with it?" he asked and the guards nodded in shock.
"And your peer is not paying attention to this fact, but you are as you take it to Patrick and tell him there could be a possible explosion." Murnau said and he nodded to confirm that as he went over further as the other boy swallowed hard at that. "We all know this, what happens when a tank loaded with any gas collapses, if the lever is not on it."
"And the lever is not in the off position, and it collapses in the middle of a fight like this as it lands on it's side and pointed in either direction?" he asked and the group nodded. "It could punch a hole through the emergency escape hatch which is where I was seated at or breaking the window next to Janie's seat now." Murnau said sharply to the news.
"You just re-examined the pile up in the aisle, before we got thrown off the plane?!" Lewton asked and he nodded sternly. "Yes, if the undertaker says anything to this: it's that by spotting whatever pattern the clues give. You can cheat death and I just did by getting you off the plane and me with you, but look closely at the evidence, the clues."
"Carefully now, but look at it, guys, focus, now that I mentioned that tank, focus, why would I be drenched in sweat if not for the fact. I saw the evidence building with every clue I just gave out." he said and they nodded as the player's girlfriend stepped forward. "The oxygen tank, as heat rises and gas expands, but chemistry: oxygen is flammable."
"Your clock was shorting out and flashed up the number of our flight, the latch on your tray table, your conversation with Christa. The tank, George's statement to you when we boarded, anyone pick up on this stuff right now, before you see the damn tank. Caine would have seen that and killed you for nearly knocking it over right now, Horton."
"And nearly killing us in the process." his best friend said in shock and he nodded as he looked between their teachers as he said as the guard grabbed the other boy tightly. "There that's it exactly Todd, thank you, looking at this closely, I got you off the plane, before we left, before telling you what his temper nearly resulted in, but here it is."
"Flight 180, a picture of a flame on that tank, a tank loaded with oxygen, put it all together, someone had a packet of matches. So a flame, oxygen, contents under pressure, matches, a malfunctioning alarm clock. And with the number 180, on it, so, what does all this say to you now, exactly..." he said and the guards straightened up.
"Possible plane crash." the guard said sharply and he nodded. "Bingo, I just spotted the first possibility of that plane exploding in the take off. Because as we climb in the take off, the tank could tip over, the lever snaps and his breathing cord is yanked. As it breaks the line and goes flying into the wall and taking out the escape hatch while doing it."
"Or crashes into the engine next to Janie's seat." he said and Lewton sighed in relief that he brought that information to their attention. "So who's fault is it that the wall of the plane and the engine were destroyed and that tank destroys airline property. Before I could make a suggestion to the pilot we check it?" Alex asked and they nodded sternly.
As they all looked at the white shirted clad boy in stern anger. "The pile up in the aisle could have knocked the tank over and destroying the wall and the engine. And before we could even leave the airport, young man you are in serious trouble." Murnau snapped and the boy paled at that as he realized Alex was a making a valid point to them at that.
"So what happens when gases like oxygen and helium get heated up exactly, as both of these are like being around liquid nitrogen?" Alex asked and and the guard next to him answered that. "On their own in the tank that cold it's condensed which is why the damn can is so heavy, but heated and it expands." she said and the boy felt his heart sink then.
"And what happens if the can is punctured or it gets too close to a flare, or just a lit match?" he asked and she crossed her arms. "It could cause it to explode, but gas under pressure like that it would be like a bomb going off. Demolishing the..., demolishing the cabin wall if it landed on it's side and went off." she said as she got what he was saying.
"That fire symbol on the tank says when exposed to fire, or near a lit match, it could explode if the cord is yanked. So who's fault is it that the tank was almost knocked over, or that the plane was destroyed, before we left?" he asked and Lewton nodded slowly. "You were telling us there could be a problem, but Eric is your chemistry teacher, Alex."
"But that was a dead give away if you saw that, before he knocked it over as he was lashing out, hit you, and metal on metal could cause a spark. Causing an explosion, if the cord got yanked and oxygen was flooding the compartment. If someone had a match, one spark could cause an explosion." Murnau said and Lewton nodded as she got it.
"It collapses and it could explode." Lewton said and the boy paled as he realised what he almost did then. "Yeah exactly, it could explode, so what direction could it eject into if we were in the air, directly over the lake?" he asked and the guard crossed her arms. "It could destroy a wall or 2) hit the escape hatch causing someone to be killed by that."
"Anyone of two dozen possibilities could result in your warning to happen anyway, and all because he lost control of his temper." the second guard said sternly and he nodded. "Bingo, that is why I had to get off the plane, I had to check something, but I'm an aviation engineer prodigy." he said and the quartet looked at the boy then as he said it.
"Carter do you understand what the dangers of ethanol when combined with oxygen and gasoline are when under pressure and as the heat builds. And the gas in a tank, say the oversized oxygen tank the guy used, as the heat rises, the gas expands. And until something gives and one spark could create an inferno, killing everyone on the plane?"
"The man who was with the woman was on oxygen, you realized you could have killed them anyway by knocking it over." he said and the boy paled at the remark. "Look at your actions in their eyes when compared to mine, as I was actually removing myself. So I could talk to the pilot, my uncle is the flight attendant with the co pilot and captain."
"I was going to tell him that he should check for any leakage in the fuel line or any shorts in the wiring now." he said and the boy paled as the quartet nodded sternly. "That's the added warning, one mistake could kill someone in the first three aisles. So what else was wrong if he lost his temper." Lewton asked and he crossed his arms as he said it then.
"So why is it that he freaked out when the co pilot arrested him and you dragged him in here, look at me now and then look at his behavior. As you're keeping him from attacking me, but it's like he's pissed I foiled his plan to leave the airport. Before the authorities arrived as he's got a DUI record with the cops." he said and the duo straightened at that.
"What?" the guard said and the white shirted clad boy struggled to get out of his chair. "And either you calm down or you're getting arrested by the police next, now calm down now, young man." the female guard said sternly to him at that response. "Well that just proves my point right now, he's so furious it's like he's drunk right now at the moment."
"So how often do you see a person so furious they're acting like they're drunk?" Alex asked and Murnau crossed his arms at the news. "You think he's drunk if he attacked you, when they dragged him off the plane after that. Because now that you calmed down you're acting more then rational?" the female guard asked him gently and he nodded.
"Yeah I do, but with the stench coming off his clothes that goes without saying right now, he was drinking before he boarded the plane. Tried to sneak this passed the quartet and immediately jumped to the assumption I busted him, even before I busted him." Alex told her and the quartet nodded sternly in agreement to that and he paled at that.
