Mathman Saves A Doomed Airliner

By Mario V. Farina

Suddenly the huge airliner lost power in its engines. Dr. Michael Larson, mathematician, knew, that unless the engines were restarted, the plane would crash in about two minutes. A chance prayer for salvation overheard by Michael suggested what he might be able to do to save the doomed plane. You won't believe how he did it, but Dr. Larson insisted it was the only way the aircraft could be saved.
