How does the media affect Brian’s perception of what a place crash is like? Use evidence from the text in support of your answer.

Brian tried to visualize what crashing would be like from pictures he had seen in the media, but he was unable to pull it all together in his mind, as he attempted to picture his own end.

Over and over his mind ran the picture of how it would go. The plane running out of gas, flying the plane onto the water, the crash-from pictures he'd seen on television. He tried to visualize it. He tried to be ready.
