Train hits a plane – level 1

18-01-2022 07:00

A plane flies from an airport in Los Angeles, US. It is a small plane. Only the pilot is inside. The plane has problems when it flies. The pilot must land. He lands the plane onto railroad tracks.

The pilot is inside the plane. He cannot move. Police officers arrive very quickly. They help the man. They talk to him.

One officer calls a company which runs trains in the area. All trains in the area must stop. Sadly, it does not happen. Bells start ringing. Lights start flashing. It means that a train is coming.

The officers quickly pull the pilot away. A train comes. It hits the plane. The officers save the pilot.

The pilot must go to hospital. He is okay. All people on the train are okay, too.

Difficult words: pilot (a person who flies a plane), land (to come to the ground), railroad tracks (two metal rails on which trains run), awake (when someone is not sleeping).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
