After reading the story, did you feel that a situation like the one in "The Cold Equations" could actually happen? Explain your answer in three to five sentences including examples from the story.

I think it could happen because the girl (don't remember their names sorry) snuck onto the ship where she wasn't supposed to go. Obviously if you do something wrong, no necessarily sneaking onto a spaceship, there are always consequences. The man did try to save her life, but there wasn't much he could do because it was too late for both of them to survive.
