It is a profound and frightening moment when Brian realizes what has happened to the pilot flying his plane, and he attempts to come to terms with the situation he is now in. The word alone is repeated three times, stressing how isolated Brian really is in this plane far above everything else. This is the first time that Brian is challenged by isolation, and this solitude will only continue as he finds himself stranded in the forest.
He was alone. In the roaring plane with no pilot he was alone. Alone."
