Puslinch Girl Saves Airliner
TORONTO, ONTARIO--Puslinch resident and airline pilot, Ted Nesbit, is very gratefull he took his daughter Becky on a flight to Thunder Bay, on "Take your daughter to work day".
Becky attends the Brock Road School and is in Grade 6 with Miss Green as her Teacher.
Ted had flown this route hundreds of times, but that day it was special as Becky was aboard. Once the plane had reached cruising altitude, Ted and his copilot turned so that Becky could take their pictures.
Becky took their picture, but quickly realized that they were on a collision course with another plane. She screamed out, "Da plane! Da plane!"
