International Flight 457 was a private plane set aside specifically for a specified college program. There were 224 passengers and 14 crew members aboard the plane when it took off from London, England. 200 of them were students ranging from 17 years of age to 20 years old, and 20 were chaperons plus 4 university and college officials that were to accompany the students on their trip. All of them originally signed up for what was supposed to be an opportunity of a lifetime. Students arrived from all over the world in order to join this program that was sponsored by two highly accredited schools, Kingston College and Chesterfield University.

The program was meant for college-bound students 17+ through Running Start (sponsored by Kingston specifically) and for college freshmen and sophomores who would still be twenty-years-old by August 1. The program was for college credit, and while it cost a hefty sum, a limited amount of scholarships were available for those with extenuating circumstances or an excellent academic record. A full scholarship was only rewarded to one student who fit both criteria. The students didn’t even have to be from the USA; students from other countries were allowed to and even encouraged to apply!

However, midway through the flight, the engine stalled. Of the 200 students, only 50 managed to survive. Of the 38 adults, none made it out alive. The dead included family, relatives, friends, significant others, and siblings of those who managed to survive. Now, 49 boys are stranded on this island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. What's the likelihood of rescue? What's the likelihood of survival? Wanna (find out?)
