Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Part 7 begins with two quotes: one by President Johnson about the Vietnam War in 1968, and one by President Moss about the Heartland War.
The narrator describes the Salton Sea and the escape jet, a Dreamliner, approaching for their water landing.
Starkey orders the storks to lock their legs and arms together, and they do. The plane skims along the water a few times, eventually flipping. The kids on the outside of the cluster of storks are crushed, and weapons fly from overhead compartments, killing storks by simply being smashed against them.
When the plane stops flipping, a grenade goes off, blasting a hole in the plane. As it starts to flood and the electricity fails, a stork named Bam gets a cabin door open and a life raft inflates. Bam jumps into it as it hits the water. Starkey helps a few kids out, then gets in the raft himself.
Starkey orders storks to grab weapons, which they throw in the raft. He is only willing to help the kids who make it out of the sinking plane. Trace gets stuck in the cockpit, and Starkey leaves him there to drown.
