...Jerry Spinelli’s book Crash, Crash changes a great deal in a long period of time in unexpected ways. When Crash was a child he was extremely aggressive and judgmental. Crash is like this when:“ ‘I don’t play with guns’ [said Penn] I didn't take it [...] and shot him right between the eyes” (Spinelli 13). It proves that he's very hostile and he doesn’t respect Penn’s “not playing with guns” belief, so it shows he doesn't respect others opinions. Since Crash beat him in water guns he will want to keep beating him, making Penn the victim of Crash’s pranks and later, bullying. Eventually, Crash becomes more egocentric and brutish than ever. After Jane rejects Crash in favor of Penn at a dance, Crash “took a quick half step [...] and rammed into...

...National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration were on the scene of the crash at an airfield north of Reno. Proximity to the planes is a draw for the race, which advises on its website, "Always remember to fly low, fly fast and turn left." Draper said the planes sometimes fly at high speeds "about 50 feet off the ground and it's an exciting, exciting sight." The thrill has been a deadly one on occasion, with a total of 28 people killed in the history of the race flown every year in Reno since 1964, Draper said. "The Reno Air Racing Association extends its most sincere heartfelt condolences and sympathies to all of those affected by yesterday's tragic events," the association said in a statement. Leeward was the son of a pilot and his own sons have also flown planes. He worked as a stunt pilot on some movies, including the 2002 release "Dragonfly." The NTSB also was investigating the Martinsburg crash, which came as six T-28 aircraft were flying in formation at the Thunder Over the Blue Ridge Open House & Air Show. A witness said one of the planes dropped and then rolled onto its side before crashing. The T-28 was used as a trainer by the Navy and Air Force between 1950 and 1984. The Reno and Martinsburg crashes were the latest in a spate of fatal air show accidents since August. Last month, the pilot of an aerobatic airplane died in a fiery crash in front of shocked onlookers at a weekend...

...Drunk driving and devising ways to prevent it have been a long standing issue in our society, and rightfully so. However, there are individuals far worse dangerous to have behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. As reported in the American Journal of Public Health, a journal dedicated to the publication of original work in research, research methods, and program evaluation in the field of public health, Dr. Fernando Wilson and Jim Stimpson, in collaboration with the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), affirm that a person that is texting while driving is 23 times more likely to be involved in a car crash than a drunk driver (2010). Between 2005 and 2008, distracted driving fatalities increased more than 28% nationwide (Stimpson & Watson, 2010). Driving while texting has become an undeniable danger as these figures support. It is for this reason, as reported in the Dallas Morning News, that Texas lawmakers recently passed a bill, 124-16, to ban texting while driving (Hoppe, 2011). This bill has now gone on to seek much needed approval from the governor, Rick Perry. With so much support coming from the Texas House, it is expected for the bill to pass. However, one must keep in mind that Governor Perry has a penchant for vetoing bills, as was evident back in 2000 when he vetoed a record 83 bills in one day (CBSDFW.com, 2011). As of right now the state of Texas currently has a no-texting policy for licensed drivers under the age of 18 and anyone driving in a school zone (Hoppe...

...Maquillez Glover Prof. Atkinson English 1101 7:00 28 October 2013 Textual Analysis No matter what car someone is driving, a seat belt is the most effective and safest thing to wear. According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in seven people do not buckle their seat belt when entering the car, and no matter how many times those people might get tickets or hear about fatal accidents and victims involved not wearing their seat belts, those people still refuse. Seat belts can help save lives; in 2009, 33,000 people died in a car accident and 2.2 million people were injured and half of those people were not wearing a seat belt (“Policy Impact…”). Also, seventy percent of those people involved in the wrecks were driving a passenger vehicle or truck (“Policy Impact…”). Even if someone is in the back seat of the biggest pick-up truck, they need to put on their seat belt, because any crazy accident can happen. Just like in any other car, a truck is likely to flip when involved in a wreck or losing control of the vehicle. In the ad posted by Kentucky State Police, buckling up in a truck is extremely important. The ad is implying that it does not matter how tough the truck looks, as long as the person is buckled up inside, the truck with be “tougher”. On the ad it states, seat belts reduced fatalities in trucks by eighty percent. To help show that the truck would be tougher, the bed of the truck and the cab are separated, and attached to the bed is a seat...

...Movie Analysis John J. Sullivan Rasmussen College Author Note This research is being submitted on, September 19, 2014, for Heidi Croatt’s G141/COM1002 Section 01 Introduction to Communication - 2014 Summer Quarter. John Sullivan [Final Draft] September 19, 2014 The movie CRASH covers thirty-six hours of encounters between people of different races. Within that thirty six-hour period, interactions between strangers turn into heated racial arguments, full of hatred, fear, compassion and understanding. The movie portrays interactions between people of different races and some of the same race, causing tension and racial slurs. The movie illustrates that whenever race is an issue conflict in communication is inevitable. Communication through facial expressions/gestures is the only form that does not seem to have a racial barrier. Communication is an important factor in everyday life. However, in the movie, crash communication between the individuals created misunderstanding aggravated by racial differences. This is displayed right away in the first seen where two cars crash. Ria, a Puerto Rican detective who was driving her car, was rear-ended by an Asian woman. The following argument ensued, (Haggis, 2004) Motorcycle Cop: Calm down, ma'am. Kim Lee: I am calm. Motorcycle Cop: I need to see your registration and insurance. Kim Lee: Why? Not my fault! It's her fault! She do this! Ria: [approaching] My fault? Motorcycle Cop: Ma'am, you really need to wait in your...

...Hi I’m the captain. DÜSSELDORF, Germany — Documents show that Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot who is believed to have deliberately crashed a Germanwings jet into the French Alps on Tuesday, had a medical condition that he hid from his employer, prosecutors in Düsseldorf, Germany, said on Friday. Prosecutors said that among the items found at Mr. Lubitz’s home was a doctor’s note excusing him from work on the day of the crash, and another note that had been torn up. These documents “support the preliminary assessment that the deceased hid his illness from his employer and colleagues,” the prosecutors said in a statement.

...Changes which have occurred in Australia through public health interventions to improve injury and mortality rates from road accidents since the first recorded motor vehicle accident in 1924 and why it is still a public health issue today in 2014 Changes which have occurred in Australia through public health interventions to improve injury and mortality rates from road accidents since the first recorded motor vehicle accident in 1924 and why it is still a public health issue today in 2014 Since the creation of the first modern automobile in 1886, injury and fatality rates were bound to occur from car accidents due to the increase of the car owner population on our roads. Australia began recording motor vehicle accidents as of 19241 and since then there have been over 180,0002 deaths from road accidents with the greater impact being on younger age groups and individuals in the most economically productive age groups.1 With the fatality rate of road accidents at an all time high in the 1970’s with a total of 3,798 deaths in 1970, the annual road toll has significantly decreased to a total of 1,193 in 2013.2 Once it was discovered that alcohol consumption, travelling at high speeds and the non-use of restraints were major causes of deaths and severe injuries in road accidents, serious action was taken which lead to the establishment of mandatory seat belts in 1973, a blood-alcohol limit of 0.05 in 1992 along with random breath testing in every state by 1988 and national maximum...

...When we hear the world collision the first thing we think is crash. In scientific words collision occurs when more than two objects collide against each other as a result, the born of many physics forces like momentum, impulse, inertia and friction. But what is the relationship between collision and a car crash? What we may not notice is that physics is all around us in our life and every life event involves its. The path we take every morning in our way to school, the traveling of the car is a very good example. Studies prove and affirm that the survivors of severe car crashes, survive thanks to the way of protection they used and how is the car designed with specific and special safety precautions. That was our main point we wanted to achieve while making our car for the project. Our design was basically a truck like a jeep. It was all made up of carboard, wood and other small details that beenfit the truck to make it heavier, more rough and hard. It was also covered with newspaper, as a result, giving the car a very hard texture. The passengers seat, was made up all of soft materials like cotton, pads and sponges. The egg was attached with two rubber strings, simulating a safety seat bealt and helping as a support for the egg. All this details and spefcific design had a main goal and something specific to achieve: preventing the egg from breaking and keep it secure in its seat. The demostration of collision and all its forces acting against in this experiment consisted...

...and most do not realize the importance of safe driving, and how unsafe driving can affect their lives. Teenagers have little experience once they get their drivers licenses. This is a major problem, because when you are young you feel invincible. This certainly is not the case. In 2013, 2,163 teens in the United States ages 16–19 were killed, which means that six teenagers died each day (“Get the Facts,” 2013). These crashes were mainly from lack of experience. “The first 500 miles for teenage drivers are the most crucial. During this time, they are 10 times more likely to be in auto crashes than adult drivers” (“Teenage Car Accidents,” 2012). A big concern for driving at night is reduced road visibility. “In 2009, 61 percent of teen crash deaths occurred between 6 P.M, and 6 A.M… this is primarily due to a combination of the visibility challenges caused by dark conditions, and slower response time brought about by fatigue, and a lack of experience driving under such conditions” (Canfield, 2013). Also animals are more active at night, which would lead to an animal related accident, and can cause major damage. Once teenagers obtain their licenses, many teens like to drive fast. They have no clue what kind of danger they are putting themselves, and other people in by speeding. A common reason teenagers speed is to impress friends. “Only 44 percent of teens said they would definitely speak up if someone were driving in a way that scared them”...

...lose impose a huge financial burden on societies. Research shows that the main cause of the young driver’s accidents is a combination of inadequate skills due to inexperience and intentional risk taking related to age and youthfulness. Whichever of this is the main cause it is still the hot literature debate. However, there is a great need to go beyond this debate and tackle this concern to cut on the young driver accident. Identifying the drivers at a greater risk of crashing before it happens is valuable as it can prevent injury to road users and reduce social cost to the society (Fowles, 2010). Attempts to recognize drivers at a higher risk of crashing rely heavily on evident of crash, traffic offense records and driving behavior of the past. Sixty five per cent of the young drivers smash or crash their car in the first four years of driving, and at least...

...while driving kills people 1. In 2011, 3,331 people in the US were killed due to texting while driving. (http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/distracted_driving/) 2. According to data collected by Official US Government Website For Distracted Driving 11% of all drivers under the age of 20 involved in fatal crashes were reported as distracted at the time of the crash. This age group has the largest proportion of drivers who were distracted. (http://www.distraction.gov/content/get-the-facts/facts-and-statistics.html) B. Texting while driving injures people 1. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed that 515,000 people were injured in various car crashes in the US due to texting. Around 28% of all crashes in 2008 were caused by drivers in the age group of 18 and 29, who admitted to texting while driving. (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/texting-while-driving-statistics.html) 2. Sending or receiving a text takes a driver’s eyes from the road for an average of 4.6 seconds, the equivalent at 55mph of driving length of an football field, blind.

...Introduction Cognitive psychology contacts with mental processes such as memory, researches have indicated that his particular cognitive process is not an exact replica of experiences, but is reconstructive. In light of this new research, experiments have tested and shown that memory may be influenced by certain units of knowledge that we have about frequently encountered people, objects or situations called “schemas.” The Schema Theory suggest that all new information interlinks withhold information represented in a schema and can influence memory. Bartlett Developed the Schema theory, which eventually became crucial in understanding how reconstructive memory works and the reliability of eyewitness testimony. He suggested that how a person remembers an event is subject to change depending on the person's cultural background and what values they were taught. Therefore, when a person remembers an event, any missing piece of information regarding that event is filled up based on their schema. He tested this in his famous „War of The Ghosts‟ experiment. This was supported by Allport and Postman, in 1947, which aimed to test the reliability of memory and the effect a person's schema has on their interpretation of an event. Loftus and Palmer Tested their hypothesis that language can alter reconstructive memory in an eyewitness testimony. Their aim was to show that leading questions can alter memory depending on its phrasing. Loftus and Palmer formed an opportunity sample...

Cite the violator I would like to go over each of these and give what they mean. An officer's responsibility to conduct a motor vehicle collision investigation begins at the time he or she is directed to the collision scene. It is at that precise moment that the officer should begin to obtain as much information as it is available from the radio operator, such as type of collision, location, extent of injuries, traffic condition, etc1.then the officer should at the set speed for the department procedures of running code to a scene proceed to and secure the scene. If medical attention is needed, the officer will call it in, but assuming that there is no such need, the officer’s first job is to. This is the 1st of the 10 things we as police should do. the patrol vehicle is the first available tool to use in traffic control, other devices such as plastic traffic cones and flares can also be used. They help to channel other cars away from the scene. when the first responding officer has evaluated the injuries involved and rendered medical assistance if necessary, they should begin divert cars from the scene then he should try to get the cars out of traffic as soon as possible. But he should take a few quick photos of the crash site with them untouched. Then move the cars making sure...
