Found on Celebrity Airlines Flight 82181 were a number of substances brought on by passengers. Given that the crash was ruled a terrorist attack, identification of all substances found on and in the bodies and luggages of the victims needed to be made. To do this, empirical and molecular formulas were put into use when determining substance identities. Each substance was tested to find the percent composition of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, and then used to find the empirical formula of the substance by using 100 grams of each substance to represent 100% made up by the elements combined. The mass of each element in the substance calculated from the percent was then divided by the molar mass of that

The Columbia mission, STS-107, was interesting because the public was more aware of the risk that was being taken upon re-entry. During the launch a piece of insulating foam broke away from the external tank surface, striking the left wing. In previous missions there had been evidence of this occurring which to engineers was seen as minor. In the case of the Columbia craft failure, it was more serious because the damaged section of the wing was damaged to the extent of which it allowed hot atmospheric gases to penetrate the structure of the wing, pulling it apart, rendering the craft unstable.

While Millions watched very frightened because of the events in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 went around downtown Washington D.C, and slammed into the west of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 am.

Tang filed a two-count complaint for negligence and vicarious liability against Hipster, for injuries sustained during the evacuation of Airline Boeing 737 aircraft on February 1, 2015, in San Diego, California. Tang’s Complaint is deficient on its face and presents no potentially viable claims for relief against Hipster; nor does the complaint meet the pleading requirements under Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2).

An American Airline, Boeing 767, had been hijacked and was loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel. Boeing 767 was crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact of the crash had left a wide open, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skycraper. The crash of the Boeling 767 had instantly killed over hundreds of people, and left hundreds more people trapped up in the higher levels of the skyscraper. Firefighters and other rescuers had started to evacuate the people left in the World Trade Center. Leaving numerous people confused, startled, and petrified about the hijacked plane and the accident, many people had not known that it had only been the start of the day.

This crash is considered to be the second deadliest aviation accident at the time in the US.

First, Flight 800 was a plane that exploded killing all 230 people, they don’t know what made it explode. “On 17 July, 1996 Trans World Airlines flight 800 exploded off long Island.

Part of the POH stated that in preparation for landing, that if the “main landing gear” were not working, that it is recommended to retract all the gear and land on the belly of the aircraft. But, the POH did not state anything about this situation, which simply involved the front nose gear not extending. This is where pilot discretion must come into play and where judgement must carefully be used.
