Where did Brian land in the book Hatchet?

Brian is the main character in the book Hatchet. Brian’s parents are going through a divorce. In the beginning of the book, Brian is on a bush plane. He is on his way to visit his father who is located in the northern oil fields of Canada. 


When in the air, the pilot shows Brian how to use the controls of the plane. Then, suddenly, the pilot of the plane has a heart attack. Eventually, the plane runs out of gas. Brian is able to keep the plane level and land it in a lake that was in the shape of an “L”. Brian is able to tear off his seatbelt, swim through the broken windshield, and swim to the nearby shore. 


The rest of the book is about Brian’s survival in the wilderness of the Canadian forest and his eventual rescue.
