Recount of flight 1549

When flight 1549 took off from New York towording to Charlotte something happened. A few minutes afer take off the pilot saw a flock of birds in in front of the plane. The plane was traveling at around 400km per hour and the bird crashed into the planes widescreen. As they were flying one of the flight attendents heard a thump from the enginge and a strange smell another flight attendendent said "burning birds" with little thrust in the engine it was really hard for them to fly. The airport was close but not close enough. they knew if that the buildings were to close and they had to find a way quick but then they saw a vessel and knew that the best was of an emergensy landing is to be close to a vessel so the plane went in the water and the quickly exited.

Julian, this is not a bad recounting of the incident. You've got the big idea, plus some detail. What would take this piece out of the A range would be the conventions. Sentence structure. Punctuation. Look at the piece from that point of view and see if you can tell what I mean.
