It’s been a while since I have posted a “What would you do?”, so I thought today is about time.
You and your husband/wife/best friend are on a late fall vacation and are given a discounted rate to a local tourist attraction. It’s a two hour flight leaving at 4:00 PM that explores some of the most popular landmarks and scenery in the area, showing off the fall colors. The flight offers a small snack and drink at the half way point. Shortly after the one hour mark the plane flies into a flock of large birds, possibly geese. One of the birds breaks through the windshield and has either killed or knocked the pilot out. The plane was at an altitude of maybe 1000 feet and you’re quickly crash landing into a wooded area. From the crash the fuselage is nearly ripped in half, the radio is destroyed and fuel is leaking from the only remaining wing.
There were a total of twelve people on board, not including the pilot. Only four others including your husband/wife/best friend are responding. Your husband/wife/best friend has a broken leg, one of the others who is responding is bleeding heavily from the head, but seems alert. You and one other flier are relatively unhurt. You cannot tell immediately if the others who have not responded are simply unconscious or dead.
It’s an hour before you’re expected back, but it might be longer before any worry is aroused. It could be a couple hours before anyone even knows something has happened.
What would you do?
