The airplane crashed and *flipped over.

Althought there was a terrible smell of fuel, there was no fire.

But many passengers were crushed to death.

I fell on top of my mother, and my *ribs were broken.

I could feel her struggling to breathe under my weight.

As the airplane collapsed on top of us, it became harder and

harder for us both to breathe.

I realized that she was holding her breathe so that I could breathe.

It was too late.

She had stopped breathing forever, so that I could live.

* flip : 튀기다, 홱 움직이다

* rib : 늑골, 갈비뼈
