Richard turned, his expression a mixture of irritation and disbelief. He was used to people shouting his name, begging for help, money, or attention \u2014 not yelling about explosions. The pilot waved impatiently, signaling the all-clear. Everything looked fine. But something about the boy\u2019s voice \u2014 that raw urgency \u2014 made Richard hesitate.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, it\u2019s just a kid,\u201d one of the guards muttered. But the boy yelled again, louder this time, \u201cThe fuel valve\u2019s leaking! It\u2019s dripping \u2014 you can see it under the left skid!\u201d<\/p>\n
Richard frowned. Against his instincts, he stepped closer to the chopper. And there it was \u2014 a dark slick of liquid glistening under the fuselage. The pilot, puzzled, crouched to check. Seconds later, his face went pale. \u201cSir, the kid\u2019s right,\u201d he said, backing away. \u201cIt\u2019s leaking aviation fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n
They shut everything down in a rush. The maintenance team sprinted over, and within moments, the smell of raw fuel filled the air. One stray spark from the engine could have turned the entire pad into a fireball.<\/p>\n
