Aircraft Scenarios: A Cessian Monoplane

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.

On January 15, 2009, United Airlines flight 1549 ditched into the Hudson river immediately after take off from New York’s LaGuardia Airport only five passengers were seriously injured and seventy-eight passengers reported minor injuries. It was brilliant piloting of Captain Chesley Sullenberger that saved everyone from a horrendous death but how did this event occur? From reports and interviews, the aircraft suffered damage to both of the aircraft’s engines. The cause of the failure to both engines, was non other than a flock of Canada Geese that flew into both engines, during the first two minutes of the flight.

“Either a missile fired from an air force jet or via an electronic assault made by the U.S. Customs Airplane reported to have seen near the site minutes after Flight 93 crashed.” (WorldNetDaily.com)

These reckless practice is fueled by a community which posts videos to youtube of their drones reaching record-breaking altitudes. These UAV pilots many times push the limits of their drone’s battery life or wireless communication range and set up their drones for catastrophic crashes that could be fatal if they land on another person.

The conflict birthed the most innovative program of drone surveillance in the history of flying. According to Shaw (2014) “The Vietnam War was a technologically intensive conflict fought with sophisticated electronic prosthetics”. A Lightning Bug drone used during the Vietnam War was one of the first drones utilized for surveillance by the U.S. Air Force (Shaw, 2014). Around 1964 and 1975, Lightning Bugs flew more than 3,500 battle fights in Vietnam. The automated eyes in the sky were fruitful. Between 1964 and 1975, more than 1,000 Lightning Bugs flew over 34,000 spying assignments over Southeast Asia (Shaw, 2014). The first ever CIA drone attack was a calamity. The organization's Predator unleashed a Hellfire rocket at a "tall man" and his companions close to the city of Khost, trusting the man to be none other than Bin Laden. But the investigators had taken the wrong object. This time, it was innocent civilians collecting scrap metal (Shaw,

On the 8th of July 1947 after Marcel and 2 Counter Intelligence Corps agents examined and collected the wreckage there was an announcement to the public that they recovered the remains of a “flying disc”. But the next day this was clarified in a press conference that what was recovered was only a weather balloon and nothing more. This has killed the

The drone was up in the air flying high, this was our third try of the night. It flew just a centimeter above the bush it was a close one. William started to get the drone down and on the ground. As it was approaching the ground it flew back up. William tried to get the drone to stop but it wouldn't. It just took off going into the street. We chased after it running like marathon finalists. It started it's familiar zig zag patterns. At this point we didn't care how it came down out of the air we just wanted it on the ground and turned off! Then it came down to the ground faster than a bullet. We saw it try to go up again and ran to it fast. I picked it up and the propellers started hitting me hard. Spinning again and again hitting me again and

On the day of July 4, 1947, the blips appeared to be changing shape. As they moved back and forth on the radar, they seemed to be pulsating, glowing very bright and then dimming. The pattern of its movements suddenly changed as it darted to the lower left-hand quadrant of the screen, disappeared for a moment, and then exploded in a magnificent white fluorescent light and evaporated before the officers’ eyes. The radar screen was clear. The pulsating blips were gone. All the officers, radar controllers and CIC personnel, stared at each other with the same thought clawing in their minds; The object, whatever it was, had crashed terribly.

With the right equipment, the drone could fall into the wrong hands. Consequently, drones have a higher chance of crashing. Peter Finn has stated that drones are more dangerous than manned aircrafts, stated,"Military studies suggest that drones have a much higher accident rate than manned aircraft. That is, in part, because the military is using drones in a battlefield environment. But even outside war zones, drones have slipped out of their handlers' control” (Finn). Drones can be hacked and controlled by other people. Drones can be used for anything, but are crashed more than cars by humans. Drones can be hard to fly without the proper training, and very easy to crash. They are just as dangerous as a manned vehicle and can majorly injure them. Unfortunately, people are more likely to get hit by a drone because they are flying over them. Finn stated that if the proper training is not provided, serious damage could be done."Even with itself, drones are prone to accidents. Without proper training and knowledge about flying a drone, you can crash your gadget that might destroy something or hit someone. There have been reported incidences wherein drones flown near airports posed serious risks of collision and drone crashes caused injuries to humans below” (Finn). Drones can be easily crashed without the proper training. Crashing the drones can put innocent lives in danger, and if the

In November of 2013 the Human Rights Watch issued a report calling for an absolute ban on the development, production and the use of autonomous weapons systems. That a drone with no human intervention cannot be held accountable under international law. Since this is the case they cannot be used in any circumstance. They said, “such revolutionary weapons would not be consistent with international humanitarian law and would increase the risk of death or injury to civilians during armed conflict” (Cohen).

In the Hugh’s Treats case, the customer whom the drone fell on and suffered serious head injuries can take legal action against Hugh’s treats and the manufacturer of the drones. Further, the wife of the man who died as a result of food contamination can sue the sea food restaurant for the death of her husband and for the poisoning she suffered. However, Hugh’s Treats can also sue the manufacturer and distributor of the drones for supplying defective products. In these cases, the plaintiffs must determine that they have suffered damages as a result of the injuries. The customers can also sue the operator of the drones. Malfunctions and crashes of drones are usually caused by manufacturing defects, which places most of the liability to the manufacturer.

Daniel, Steven and I went out to find the plane but we found the wing and giant holes through it.(J) The wing didn’t explode it was tampered with someone wanted us here. (S)

In order to effectively and efficiently assess the vulnerabilities and mitigating factors for modern day automobiles, drones/ unmanned aircraft, and public transportation one must understand how vulnerabilities are identified and how to correctly mitigate them. Examining a number of risks modern day automobiles, drones, and public transportation presents, and the detailed attention needed to mitigate risk and vulnerabilities due to widespread effects on individuals, society, computer systems, and infrastructures, allows thought-provoking ideas for how future vulnerabilities will be assessed and mitigated. Modern day automobiles offer a wide range of advances that are at risk. The same applies to the emergence of drones, especially at the

There have been many concerns mentioned about whether the physical safety of drones has been regulated appropriately. [Depending on the size of the drone, how it is structured, and the experience and the intent of the drone operator, it could affect a drone’s safety performance.] [According to legislation, the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 has assigned the Federal Aviation Administration to create a “comprehensive plan to [submit] to Congress” in order to “ensure the safe operation of civil drones” (Dolan 5).] However, the FAA has yet to present a detailed plan that addresses all-inclusive safety issues (Dolan 5). Without well-established safety operation regulations it can cause potential physical distress or even endangerment to individuals. Marc Goodman explains the “greater risks” of not having these regulations firmly established by telling his readers that there are “numerous reports of hobbyists intentionally flying drones directly into the flight path of a jet aircraft around the world, causing pilots to take drastic evasive actions to avoid collision, including planes from American Airlines” (Goodman 311). Goodman’s point is that without solidified well-established safety regulations the issue of safety will only increase the endangerment of
