    a) Don't start a sentence with a numeral. Make it past tense (it's already happened). Put the flight number in graph 2 -- it slows things down.
    b) This isn't even a complete sentence. It reads more like a headline. Also: 7-year-old son, three years (review AP Stylebook entry on numbers), how did the neighbor recognize his face?

    6/10 - please redo
