The plane.

 

By Briony

 

The plane could not land, the pilots did not know what to do. The passengers were screaming and I was just getting a headache. Suddenly I found my mum and older sister praying. I was closing my eyes as tight as I could. I was hearing the pilots muttering how to fix the panel. Then I found I was undoing my seat belt and walking to the control room. Tumbling and tossing I moved to the big narrow room. I opened the grey rusty metal door. There were the pilots rushing round pushing all the buttons like a curious child. I went over and said to one of them in a shaking voice "why is the plane not stopping" then the other pilot said "because one of us has jammed something but we don't know what ".

"I'll help you if you like" I said and the pilot said "ok". Then I grabbed the side of one of the machines and then suddenly I tripped and banged my left arm in to the main control panel and just then one of the men put their feet on the landing gear. Suddenly the plane was soaring. The pilots turned to the control panel and then they were cheering. One of them turned the plane back round to the airport and I ran in where the passengers were and told them it was ok. When we were at the airport my mum and my sister hugged me tight.
