Over the years he has pieced together the plane's last, dying moments from the second one of its engines caught fire.

The next moment, Tom's toe caught on a rail and he stumbled to the ground.

"But only a few moments, till we catch our breath."

He allowed himself a few moments to catch his breath, then picked up the receiver.

The next moment, however, his straining ears caught the sound of the troopers approaching.

A moment sooner and we might have caught him.

But he needed a moment, a moment, to catch his breath.

The moments of downtime that let decision makers catch their breath.

He ignored the man's cold stare and after a moment caught Andrews's eye.

A moment of Indian summer, caught in amber by the perfect light and promising to last forever.
