May Day

Mayday is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal.
The call is always given three times in a row ("Mayday Mayday Mayday") to prevent mistaking it for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions.
I AM (state problem such as on fire, sinking, etc.) WITH (number of) PERSONS ON BOARD, I REQUIRE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.

MayDay came from a French word m'adier that means "come help me"
