A Study On Downward Spiral

They don’t understand how is debris from the plane crash could have been able to travel that far from the impact with out being struck by something before it crashed. They give three examples of historic plane crashes such as, Turkish Airlines Flight 981, Air India 182, and Japan Flight 123. All three crashes left behind a good size of wreckage, numerous bodies and one, Japan Flight 123, even managed to have 4 survivors (Avery). So how does a Boeing 757 and all its’ passengers completely disappear they ask. Then they go on to show the reports that no jet fuel was left behind in water or soil from the department of environmental protection. They also questioned how that could have been possible when the plane crashed with 5,000 gallons or 37,500 pounds of jet fuel. Lastly the documentary states the fragile items that were left behind, such as a red bandana, the hijacker’s driver’s license, passports, and a Marriot hotel card from the flight attendant. They overall conclude that there was no way a 757 could have crashed on that day. They claim it had to have been a smaller plane shot down as a cover up and that the original plane landed somewhere safely.

As you look back on this day, fourteen years later, I can imagine that you can still hear the shrill of melting steel, and the outcry of everyone at the scene. While the whole world stood in silence as the second plane hit, you prayed that your

The first paragraph, author use pathos to show his pain for this tragedy and he said the seven people’s death is “a national loss”. It can tell this seven are very important for America, no one can replace them. This is admiration for sevens’ contribution. On Second paragraph, author uses an analogy that a similar accident happened nineteen years ago to explain this terrible space accident. He wanted to let people remind there is not only this failure in the space program; he wants people do not lose heart for the space

The plane then reportedly filled with thick smoke with flames shooting from the rear of the plane. The passengers struggled to get though either the emergency exits or through holes in fuselage that were torn open due to the crash. The rescue effort was also slowed due to power outages on the field. The bay doors for the rescue vehicles needed to be open manually slowing the rescue crews from getting to the plane. Overall a total of 11 people died including Captain Richard W. Bushmann, a 20-year veteran with American Airlines. 83 of the 143 passengers were injured.

Once the plane had crashed, the people still alive questioned why God would do something like that to his faithful followers. Soon, however,

When a loved one dies, it feels like the end of your world. No apology could fix it. However, I believe that even the most sincere acts of sympathy and grief towards the victim(s) would show more respect than trying to put a price value on those who suffered. Amanda Ripley, author of WTC Victims: What’s A Life Worth?, writes about what the government planned to do to compensate for family losses. According to the article, Kenneth Feinberg, who is responsible for dispersing money to the ones that were increasingly affected by the attacks, without shame went into detail of how one can figure out how much the government is willing to pay. In the end, most people’s total compensation were either near or at zero. Many family members were appalled and a woman by the name of Maureen Halvorson even said,“I just can't accept the fact that the Federal Government is saying my husband and my brother are worth nothing.” It would have been more gratifying to those experiencing mass grief if the government simply sent out messages of deep condolence rather than try to put a zero next to the victim’s name.

The odds that someone will die in a plane crash are 1 in 11 million (Bowman). Unluckily for the passengers of Trans World Airlines (TWA) Flight 800, they beat the odds. TWA Flight 800 mysteriously exploded just minutes after takeoff. The plane’s crash has peaked the interest of theorists for decades. The mystery behind TWA Flight 800 can be summed up in two theories: Mechanical failure, and a surface to air missile.

Asiana Airlines Flight 214, which crash-landed in San Francisco on July 6, had one unexpected casualty this week. On Friday, local television station KTVU aired what it thought were the names of the airline pilots. Unfortunately, the names turned out to be pure fiction: Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow. The station quickly realized it had been pranked and issued an apology, but it was too late: word of the blunder spread all over the Internet. Later, the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that one of its summer interns had confirmed the fake names to the station.

The article by Amanda Ripley stated ¨First , the government will estimate how much a victim would have earned over his or her lifetime had the planes never crashed.¨ This ideal is

I am thankful today that none of these people were seriously injured or ever missing, because I know that is not the case for everyone. As goes for how it impacted the world, I think that it shows us that accidents can happen at anytime to anyone, even to the most experienced of people.
