Lewis felt scared as he dropped out of the helicopter, hearing the blades thumping above him. it was his first rescue. He could smell the salt and then the icy touch of the water as he plunged feet first into the blue sea.

Damien can hear a crash. It was a large, white plane with flames and people screaming for help. He could smell thick, grey smoke.
