Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Whose mother was a dispatcher for 911?

Answer: Patrick

When Patrick heard his mother reporting a plane crash, he rushed to the scene of the accident. First he thought it had been a prank call, because he could not see the plane. Then when he saw it, he was awestruck at how big it was. It was probably a 747.
2. What is the name of the girl who called 911?

Answer: Heidi

The plane crashed in the backyard of Heidi Lanseth's house, or should I say, mansion. Her mother and father were away in different places, and the groundskeeper had the day off. She was all alone, but the rescue brought out the courage in her.
3. Which one of Heidi's parents first learned about the crash?

Answer: her mom

The Lanseths were in separate places. Mr. Lanseth was in a dirt-cheap motel without a TV. His wife called him on the phone to tell him that she had seen it on the news. They were both worried about Heidi. The relatively unhurt survivors of the crash stayed in the Lanseths' house, Dove Mansion.
4. Which one of the brothers (Daniel or Tuck) went the wrong way when they got off of the plane?

Answer: Tuck

Tuck was unhurt by the plane crash. He went with Ty on the school bus to carry more people to the hospital, because the ambulances could only carry two people at a time. Daniel, on the other hand, was wrapped up in the airplane. He spent his time talking to a woman who was trying to console him. He was one of the last people rescued, even though he was in critical condition.
5. Who was Darienne sitting next to on the plane?

Answer: Teddie

Darienne is a good-looking young woman, but she is a snob. She is very critical towards other people, even little children like Teddie. She even told the flight attendant that she didn't like children and wanted to be moved to a different seat! She was unhurt in the crash, but Teddie had a broken leg. Teddie had been sitting in the Dove Mansion, but she had a blanket over her and so it was a while before she was noticed and treated for her injuries.
6. In triage, what did the red sticker have on it?

Answer: a bunny

Triage is a method used in real life by medical personnel to distinguish between people that need attention the quickest, to people that can wait, to people that are already dead.
In this story, the red sticker meant the patient needed help fast, so they put a bunny on it to symbolize quickness.
7. When Darienne got off of the phone in Dove Mansion, she saw that Heidi and another man were behind her. What was the man's profession?

Answer: firefighter

Darienne was trying to get a taxi so she could get home. Heidi, fed up with Darienne's attitude, wondered why she was being so polite (after all, it was her house) and disconnected the call Darienne was making to let the firefighter use the phone.
8. What was Carly's sister's name?

Answer: Shirl

Carly used to be a rowdy kind of person who went to parties the police got called to. She changed her ways and decided to come home to tell her sister and her family that she was sorry. She died in the crash.
9. Who got the area cleared so that the ambulances could get to the hospital?

Answer: Ty

Ty and Laura were assistants and amatuers. The were supposed to stay out of the way, but Laura sneaked in. He was angry at her for deserting him.
He was also annoyed by the fact that he did not get credit for clearing the way for the ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
10. What was the word that Heidi used to describe herself when she was talking to her parents about how she had been during the rescue?

Answer: useful

Her father, who was disappointed that his daughter was not doing very well in school, was very proud of his daughter for being useful to the rescue.
