...have disembarked, in which a person is fatally or seriously injured, the aircraft sustains damage or structural failure or the aircraft is missing or is completely inaccessible. An accident in which the damage to the aircraft is such that it must be written off, or in which the plane is destroyed is called a hull loss accident. Over the years, there are many aircraft accidents but there are a few major accidents such as the September 11 crash at the World Trade Center in New York in 2001, the Tenerife airport disaster in 1977 which is recorded as the highest death toll, the Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 and others. Until today, the Japan Airlines Flight 123 in 1985 is the single-aircraft disaster with the highest number of fatalities. In this crash, all 15 crew members, 505 out of 509 passengers died and resulting in a total of 520 deaths on board a Boeing 747. The aircraft suffered an explosive decompression from an incorrectly repaired doubler plates causing the aft pressure bulkhead to fail, which failed in mid flight and destroyed most of its vertical stabilizer, and severed all of the hydraulic lines, making the 747 paralyzed and uncontrollable. The pilots were able to keep the plane flying for several minutes before crashing into a mountain. Amazingly, several people survived the impact, but by the time the rescue teams could get there, all but four had died. The Boeing 747SR (Short Range) was an aircraft that was designed to be used on short, high-density routes...

...the Andes on 13 October 1972. More than a quarter of the passengers died in the crash and several others quickly succumbed to cold and injury. Of the 27 who were alive a few days after the accident, another eight were killed by an avalanche that swept over their shelter in the wreckage. The last 16 survivors were rescued on 23 December 1972, more than two months after the crash. The survivors had little food and no source of heat in the harsh conditions at over 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) altitude. Faced with starvation and radio news reports that the search for them had been abandoned, the survivors fed on the dead passengers who had been preserved in the snow. Rescuers did not learn of the survivors until 72 days after the crash when passengers Nando Parrado and Roberto Canessa, after a 10-day trek across the Andes, found Chilean arriero Sergio Catalán, who gave them food and then alerted the authorities to the existence of the other survivors. The crash On 13 October 1972, a chartered Uruguayan Air Force twin turboprop Fairchild FH-227D was flying over the Andes carrying the Old Christians Club rugby union team from Montevideo, Uruguay, to play a match in Santiago, Chile. The trip had begun the day before, when the Fairchild departed from Carrasco International Airport, but inclement mountain weather forced an overnight stop in Mendoza, Argentina. At the Fairchild's ceiling of 9,000 metres (30,000 ft), the plane could not fly directly from Mendoza, over the Andes, to Santiago, in large...

...SEPTEMBER 11TH CONSPIRACY THEORIES On September 11th, 2001, four American Airlines flights were hijacked. All of the planes were full of passengers. One aircraft crashed in a field in Pennsylvania, one hit the Pentagon, and the other two hit the World Trade Center in New York City. Most Americans remember where they were when they this malicious series of events happened, and the shocking feeling they had when they heard the news. When this first happened most people were scared for their lives and the lives of their loved ones. It was not until later that people started to ask questions about who was behind these events. Allegedly, a number of terrorists affiliated with the group Al-Qaeda were responsible. A few months after the attacks of 9/11 a group of skeptics formed something called “The 9/11 Truth Movement”. This group found a number of occurrences and facts that make some of the attacks and other happenings of 9/11, not likely, possibly set up, and in some cases nearly impossible. One of the groups most popular claims was that the World Trade Center falling was a controlled demolition. After demolition experts reviewed the videos of the World Trade Center falling, they agreed with the skeptics of the 9/11 Truth Movement. According to experts the building falls as if many small explosives were planted on all sides and it exploded in a very specific order, just like in a controlled demolition. When videos of the World Trade Center falling are compared with a building...

...Saturday Evening Newscasts: ABC World News Tonight VS. Fox News Fox Report Saturday Jennifer Wallace Chamberlain College of Nursing PHIL 447 Professor Stephens Week 3 03/20/2016 The two news casts that I chose to watch and write about were aired on Saturday, March 19. The first program I watched was ABC World News Tonight. It came on at 7:00pm and it was hosted by Cecilia Vega, who I was unfamiliar with. When this show was over, I turned my television to Fox News and I watched The Fox Report, which started at 8:00pm. This show was hosted by Julie Banderas. I was unfamiliar with her, as well. Both of these hosts were attractive women, which seems to be the standard for women on the news, whether it’s local or national. I don’t normally watch either of these particular shows, so I was unsure what to expect as far as their actual reporting was concerned. On the ABC news cast, the first story that was covered was about Donald Trump, the rally that he held in Arizona, and the protests in Arizona and New York City. The host claimed that “despite the protests, Trump was louder and more forceful than ever”, which in my opinion, had a very negative slant to it. The report showed how the protestors in Arizona used their cars to try and block traffic and how the protestors in NYC were marching and picketing in front of Trump Tower. At the end of the story, the reporter talked about Donald Trumps’ “feud” with Megyn Kelly, whom he called “highly over rated and crazy”. An unnamed...

This puts a tremendously large mystery on whether or not there is some kind of organized coincidence in the involvement of these downed planes. Flight 370 disappeared on March 8th, in route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, as said by CNN News reporters. Extensive research has been continuing the search for answer conclusively for months now, and still there is absolutely no sign of the plane. “This part of the investigation is aimed at gathering crucial data to map the ocean floor, charting its contours, depths and hardness, of which there is limited data,” comes from a reporter from the...

The population of Rwanda is made up of three ethnic groups. One percent of the population are Twa (pigmy hunters), fourteen percent are Tutsi (Ethiopian pastoralists) and eighty five percent are Hutu (Bantu farmers). The Belgians and Germans arrived in Rwanda in the 1900’s and wanted to control and rule Rwanda. The Belgian colonisers viewed the Hutu as ignorant, vile, slaves by nature with no ambition. Hutu features were ugly and indicative of the inferior Negro. A 1925 Colonial report described the...

...flying object was spotted in the sky and crashed in the vast desert of Roswell. A rancher named William Brazel found metallic sticks held together with tape, chunks of plastic and foil reflectors, and scraps of a heavy, glossy, paper-like material. Immediately Brazel called the local sheriff department and spoke with sheriff George Wilcox and stated that he might have recovered the remains of a flying saucer. Wilcox, according to various sources, contacted military authorities at the Roswell Army Air Field, where official Major Jesse Marcel was sent to investigate. After the findings were examined officials were sent to take aways the remaining’s of the crash. This sighting caused chaos in the town of Roswell. There were many eye witness reports of alien like creatures that were next to the destroyed craft. Witnesses who saw the crash site, before confronted by the US Government, were interviewed and all gave similar descriptions of the aliens and the flying craft (Jeffery,12). Glenn Dennis, a mortician who worked at the ballad funeral home in Roswell, made the first actual claim of alien bodies when received calls from the morgue at the army airfield. A Mortuary Officer needed three small sealed coffins and preservation techniques this...

...military installations, and examine the history of UFOs, their hot spots, and look into evidence of government cover-ups. UFO History Unidentified flying objects have been around a long time, one of the earliest sightings in 593 BC, recorded in the Bible in the book of Ezekiel 1:16. Ezekiel talks of encountering a flying object near Cheber River Chaldea, in today’s Iraq. "Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel upon the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them. As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl” (1, Ezekiel 1:16 English standard version, 2010). Perhaps it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but many historians have taken this biblical account seriously. He described what he saw with words and phrases from the reality and time he was living in. Even so, there is enough information there to conclude that he was witnessing a craft of some kind and its occupants. There is also the famous story most people know of; the crashed UFO in Roswell, New Mexico that happened in July, 1947. This happened the same year Kenneth Arnold spotted nine mysterious, high-speed objects while flying his private plane near Mt. Rainier,...

Let us all know how much had been hidden from us in the past!! I feel that it is our RIGHTS to know this!! TO MY FELLOW INDIANS.... Indira Priyadarshini perpetuated immorality in the Nehru dynasty. Intellectual Indira was admitted in Oxford University but driven out from there for non-performance. She was then admitted to Shantiniketan University but, Guru Dev Rabindranath Tagore chased her out for bad conduct. After driven out of Shantiniketan, Indira became lonely as father was busy with politics and mother was dieing of tuberculosis in Switzerland. Playing with her loneliness, Feroze Khan, son of a grocer named Nawab Khan who supplied wines etc to Motilal Nehru’s household in Allahabad, was able to draw close to her. The then Governor of Maharashtra, Dr. Shriprakash warned Nehru, that Indira was having an illicit relation with Feroze Khan. Feroze Khan was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira. Soon enough she changed her religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque. Indira Priyadarshini Nehru changed her name to Maimuna Begum. Her mother Kamala Nehru was totally against that marriage. Nehru was not happy as conversion to Muslim will jeopardize her prospect of becoming Prime Minister. So, Nehru asked the young man Feroze Khan to change his surname from Khan to Gandhi...

...impulsive actions. Yes, Jack only had a few of the listed symptoms for PTSD, but what’s really chilling to the core is that Roger fits one disorder to the letter. Many people who have this condition can only be diagnosed at the age of eighteen or older, but often show signs and symptoms before the age of fifteen! How old is Roger again? Although Golding never specifies his age, Roger is noted to be younger than Jack, and Piggy, and Ralph (who’s said to be the eldest at only twelve-years-old) but older than those designated as “littlun’s.” In short, Roger fits into the perfect time frame to be showing signs of a disorder known as “antisocial personality disorder.” Now antisocial personality disorder is nothing to be taken lightly as stressed in a report on the subject in Conditions & Procedures InBrief. The author, Laurie Rosenblum, MPH, lists a few symptoms such as, “repeated law breaking, repeated lying/deceitfulness, impulsiveness, irritability and aggression, disregard for safety of oneself or other, lack of guilt over hurting others, destruction of property, bullying or cruelty to animals and/or other humans,” and so much more! Overlooking such an extensive list, one cannot help but wonder if William Golding read these symptoms when designing the character of Roger. From jabbing a pig up the derrière to killing a fellow boy, Roger is just one character added to a bountiful list of villains suffering from antisocial personality disorder. The media loves associating this disorder with...

...In her book, Children’s Past Lives, she details the experience of her five year old son, Chase, when he believed he was a Civil War soldier. He described himself as a soldier who carried “a long gun with a kind of sword at the end” (“Chapter 1: Chase and Sarah.”). As a mother, Bowman was shocked and a bit distressed to hear her son talk about war, since he was, according to her, never really interested in the subject. Chase described the military uniform and ultimately revealed that he was unhappy as a soldier. He did not want to be involved in the war, claiming that he really “[did not] want to be [there] and shoot other people” (“Chapter 1: Chase and Sarah.”). Bowman emphasized that although her son was only five years old at the time, that his tone...

...Crime Scene Investigations (C.S.I.). The intent is to show what is provided by the television series of what happens in a crime and what is supposed to happen during a crime scene investigation. The reader should be able to understand during this analysis to what in fact is non-realistic in this television episode and what is reality as determined by what has been researched. This will show what really happens in a crime scene investigations lab. The episode chosen for this review was CSI: Miami, The Golden Parachute. The episode begins with an aircraft taking important people to testify in front of the Security Exchange Commission. The aircraft began to have issues after takeoff and crash landed in the Florida Everglades. Fishermen were located in and around the everglades and witnessed the crash, they were consumed by what just happened and alerted 911. This prompted Horatio and his crime scene investigative team to begin work. There were eight total passengers on board including the pilots. They immediately identified bodies in the water and determined that this was a leve1 two biohazard. There were bodies thrown from the aircraft in the same area and they also found a body five miles down the everglades. The investigations continued throughout. There were things noticed that was clearly polished, questionable and what seemed to be real as part of an investigation. The crime scene investigators also acted as crime lab technicians and police officers which are not in direct...

...Lord of the Flies Report In the novel, “Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding the author talks about a group of boys that are stranded on a deserted island after a dangerous plane crash in which all adults died. The boys started off as innocent schoolboys that you would expect to find in the 1940's, but quickly descend into savages. Ralph, the first boy we meet in the novel, is appointed the "chief" of all of them. Throughout the story he develops a close relationship with Piggy, a boy who gained his name due to his weight. Piggy is immediately recognized as the voice of the adult world when he states that “I expect we'll want to know all their names, and make a list. “We ought to have a meeting." This statement shows Piggy's reliance on law and order, and shows his desperation for his, and the other boy’s, well-being. Throughout this book one can say that Piggy and Ralph had many differences and similarities. Some of the obvious differences are the size of the two boys. Ralph is a fairly skinny kid whereas Piggy is a more pudgy or fat boy. Also another similarity the two shares are that Ralph and Piggy both show signs of leadership, but Ralph appears to be more of the one to take charge than Piggy. Piggy is slightly younger than Ralph. He is the weakling in the group being overweight and suffering from asthma. He is dressed similar to Ralph in a typical school uniform and wears glasses. He is weak, smart, and friendly. In the text, Piggy seems to be shown throughout...
