Flight 800 Research Paper

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.

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.

This article got me thinking about the wreckage and how there is no evidence from such a large plane. That is a good sign of a missile, like bishop Williamson said in his talk. There were two cable spools in front of the burning hole and they weren’t moved or blown backwards which shows evidence that there was no 757.

According to NIST (National Institute for Standard Technology) the planes may have crashed, but the cause of the collapses were emerging fires-that sprung from jet fuel and flying debris. This supports the theory that exposed steel allowed fires to spring off and burn buildings until they collapsed.

As millions viewed the occasions unfolding in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 hovered over downtown Washington, D.C., and hammered into the west side of the Pentagon military home office at 9:45 a.m. Plane fuel from the Boeing 757 brought about an overwhelming inferno that prompted the auxiliary breakdown of a segment of the monster solid building. Everything considered, 125 military staff and regular folks were slaughtered in the Pentagon, alongside every one of the 64 individuals on board the aerial

Along with D.B. Cooper, 36 other passengers boarded the Boeing 727, that was headed from Portland to Seattle. Soon after taking off, Cooper handed the flight attendant a note. When she looked at the note it read, “I have a bomb in my briefcase. I will use it if necessary. I want you to sit next to me. You are being hijacked.” He then showed a glimpse of wires and red sticks in his brief case. Cooper

Personal Response: I read the book Flight 116 is Down by Caroline B. Cooney. The book was a great book in my mind. Even though the cover gives the crash away it still surprised me. The book was written with great detail. The writer really makes it feel like the story and the crash was happening around the reader.

The investigation concluded that this was the first ever proven case that an airplane had been sabotaged in commercial aviation history. A nitroglycerin bomb caused this fatal explosion. It is unknown who planted the bomb or what their motives were.

On June 1st, 1999 American Airlines flight 1420 experienced a tragic accident that claimed many lives and made an impact on aviation worldwide. The event and it subsequent investigation shed

Colgan air flight 3407 was a larger plane and being so needed a lot of materials to investigate the wreckage. Initially once on scene, an investigator would need to call for as many emergency personnel as possible. This is to secure the area which was as big as a mile wide by at least a half mile in length. During this investigators would need personal protective equipment like gloves, masks, and body suits, to protect against any hazards from the wreck including fires and to prevent inhaling toxins. Investigators would need cameras to record the massive amount of evidence and wreckage. Since the plane stalled and spun it went down at a fairly steep angle so the wreckage wouldn’t be strewn in a large area but there is still a lot of evidence

They start to bring in other incidents that happened many years ago such as comets that haven’t appeared now for 20 years. They believe that a comet crashed into the earth 11,000 years ago. The place where it landed being todays Bermuda Triangle. Well the comet crashed into the sea, the impact creating a deep trench, one of the deepest ever seen. Its 10,000 feet below sea level. Now at this depth, we have no proof about the supposed crash. This comet also gives out radiations that disrupt compasses and other navigational tools and interfere with an aircraft engine and eventually suck in the planes and ships and also humans. It would be a real breakthrough if we do find a little proof of this but it is very unlikely. So without any facts it’s a make believe comet really is culprit

The disappearance of the Malaysian airline MH 370 is one of the greatest aviation mysteries of the modern times. The flight had 239 people on board, including the crew when it took off from Kuala Lumpur for its intended destination China. However, the flight never made it to China and disappeared over the South China Sea. Even with today’s advanced technology no trace of the plane could be found. A lot of time debris found is ocean has been attributed to MH 370, but nothing has ever been confirmed. People have several theories as to what happened to the plane, but sadly none has been found to be

American Airlines flight 1420 was bound for Arkansas on June 1, 1999. It was the last flight of a three leg route. The plane touched down the runway and struck several tubes, passed through a chain link security fence and went over an embankment. There were several key factors that played a role in the accident that left the captain and 10 passengers’ dead and injured over 105 other passengers. The impact alone caused a fire and destroyed

When many people think of aircraft investigations, they think of a large-scale airliner crash. While these types of accidents get more airtime on the television circuit, the majority of accidents occur within the general aviation community. One of the most notorious of these general aviation accidents was the accident of John F. Kennedy, Jr. His notoriety as the son of a President of the United States gave a special spotlight to this particular aircraft investigation.

I have chosen Malaysian flight 370 that was a scheduled air carrier flight on March 8, 2014 from Kuala Lumpur International Airport near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China. Some of the theories for the aircraft going missing are hijacking, mechanical, pilot error or etc.… Conspiracy theories vary from the aircraft being hijacked and taken to a remote location and that the aircraft never crashed there are also theirs that the Malaysian flight 17 that was shot down a few month later has a connection that they were disposing of the aircraft when they shot down flight 370 and it had nothing to do with flight 17. There are theories that the aircraft just vanished that it had nothing to do with a ground to air missile, that the plane just vanished. A few that I think are possible are that the plane was hijacked and then crashed into the Ocean or that the aircraft was shot down by someone possibly on accident and that is why no one has taken responsibility. It is very difficult to say what happened to the aircraft due to their being very little evidence of the aircraft to research. Another theory is that the Captain of the Aircraft committed suicide and 238 lives with him. This would not be an unheard of thing it has happened in the past and was done by someone in the Asian Culture.
