Leads Excercise #4

Smoking Wheels

After smoke was reportedly seen coming from near the wheels of the jet, 40 passengers were

evacuated from Flight 428, a Northwest Airlines jet.

The passengers were just landing at the LaCrosse, Wis., Municipal Airport from Minneapolis.



Missing Boy


A 7- year-old missing boy is found alive. His mother, Ellen Lynn Conner, 27, faces charges of kidnapping and interference with a custody warrant.

He was found by a neighbor who recognized the child’s picture when it was shown after the movie Adam: The Song Continues.

Wheels: Start with "what" happened -- 40 passengers evacuated -- before you tell me how/why it happened.

Overall...prioritize, tighten it up, make it one sentence. You can tell me the flight number and where it was coming from in P2.

Boy: If you tweak this a bit, it will work:
A 7-year-old boy, missing for three years, was boy found yesterday in Brick Township, N.J. His mother now faces charges of kidnapping and interference with a custody warrant.
(ID his mother and explain how he was found in P2)
