The 14-year-old daughter of missionaries from Minnesota acted fast Sunday after the plane carrying her family slammed into a Congolese neighborhood. Standing before a crack too small to crawl through as the jet burned, she turned to the man next to her. "Let's open this crack," she said in Swahili, "otherwise, we're going to die." The two tore the crack open and created a hole that dozens fled through.
