The impact was s

39、o loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I dont think he entered the water at all. He justbounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, he lay still on the surface, spinninglike an autumn leaf.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat

They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the worlds problems.17The second reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 18National borders were beginning to lose their meaning.
