1 . “ Mayday ! We got Mayday!” Frank Pisano screamed over the microphone to the air control tower at the airport. One of the two engines on his plane had failed，and he was now going down towards one of the busiest highways in America—Interstate 405，just south of Los Angeles—and there was no stopping it.

Driving south on the 405，near the airport’s runway，was John Meffert，a fire department captain. He was heading home from his shift when suddenly a low—flying plane caught his eye. After he took a second glance，a thought crossed his mind: “This plane’s going to hit me.”

He was right. The plane slammed into the road，popped up a few feet，and then clipped the front of Meffert’s car. It finally stopped after hitting the divider(隔栏). Meffert pulled over. He was unhurt，and his car had received only a large scratch，so he turned his attention to the plane. He ran towards the smoke，and then he saw Frank’s wife, Janan Pisano，pop her head up on the passenger side.

By the time Meffert reached the aircraft，part of it was on fire and Janan，who was covered in blood，was on the wing trying to pull her husband from the wreck. Meffert，afraid the plane would explode，guided her to safety behind it. Then，he ran back for Frank，who had been knocked out by the initial crash，lying across both seats.

Meffert carefully positioned himself under the pilot’s arms and lifted him from the cockpit. Then he dragged the pilot off the wing and carried him to safety，where they could see the plane in flames.

The Pisanos spent three weeks in the hospital. Remarkably，Meffert’s car was the only one hit by the plane. Had Meffert been a second or two faster，Frank said，the left propeller(螺旋桨))would have ripped the top off his car and killed him.

“I play all the what-ifs—going slower，going faster. It could have been a very different result，”Meffert said. “We just had a lot of angels.”
