Northeast Airlines Flight 823 Research Paper

The goal of the internship was to complete a 150 hours and provide a weekly summary of activities. In order to get the internship I had to do a phone screening with Mary Doe. She is the administrative assistant to Commander John Doe. Who is the Assistant Associate Director of Facility Support and also the internship supervisor for the SIU Health Care Management students at FHCC. I meet with CDR John Doe for a brief interview. We went over my goals and what I hope to gain by interning at FHCC. I felt interning at FHCC would be a natural transition because CDR Wallis has a background in Healthcare Administration.

passengers and make sure that the planes are being boarded with no illegal items. In 2006, there was an attempt made to detonate a liquid explosive on board a plane. This terrorist attempt enacted yet another restriction. The TSA banned any and all liquids measuring more than 3.4 ounces. (Brill) The more restrictions put on what passengers can and cannot bring on planes show in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and what changes they had on United States security. (Villemez) After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the number of air marshals aboard U.S. planes was questioned, the primary change to the Federal Air Marshal Service happened quickly after the assaults of 9/11. The U.S. had only 33 air marshals working in a full time limit on 9/11, and in the quick reaction from the assaults, the Bush Administration pushed for a huge and fast development of the program.

There are many aircraft accident factors in which investigators need to pursue in order to come to a good conclusion on what the cause or causes of an aircraft accident were. A portion of what the investigator looks into is the human factors surrounding the accident. This highly diverse and expansive area needs to be systematically looked into to figure out if any human factors were causation of an aircraft accident. One model that investigators utilize in order to sift through the human factors that may be attributable to an accident is the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) Model. This Model breaks down human factors into four different sections, organizational influences, unsafe supervision, preconditions for unsafe acts, and unsafe acts of operators. Throughout this case study, the accident of American Airlines flight 1420 will be dissected utilizing the HFACS Model to uncover human factors issues with the aircraft operator organization, aircraft flight crew, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

On January 25th, 1998, Air Florida Flight 90 has smashed the head first into a bridge down into the rigid blockings of ice overlaying that Potomac River, located along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. This tragedy and inexplicable occurrence has had lots of witnesses and observers have discerned a “hero” in the water.

On June 23rd, 1985 a bomb placed onboard Air India flight 182, originating from Toronto en route to New Delhi via Montreal and London Heathrow, detonated while the plane was flying over the south-west Irish coast, killing all 329 people on board. Prior to the attacks of September 11th, 2001 the Air India bombing was the deadliest aircraft bombing in history. The bombing of Air India 182 was an elaborate attack devised by members and supporters of the Sikh extremist group Babbar Khalsa. Due to several blunders on the part of government agencies including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and lax security protocols, the plot succeeded and most of those involved in its organization and execution escaped justice. This tragic attack and its impact on aviation today are still fondly remembered and Air

For the week of March 7th- March 11th I did my internship at Cape Fear Middle School under the guidance of Coach Bell, Coach Reese and Mrs. Hayes the data manager. The first day of my internship, I helped coach Bell with his computer class assisting any student who needed help. I met a fellow intern Ms. Jessica Fallon who is a student at UNCW, and we both helped coach the A/B gym classes for 6th, 7th and 8th grade. I played the role of the DJ during the warm ups and referee when the groups played capture the flag. Ms.Fallon was the instructor for the exercise part of the classes so I couldn’t help much in that department. Thursday and Friday I was the messenger/ secretary for the majority of the day. That was better than sitting down on a

At the beginning of this internship, I did not know what to expect. It was the first time I was going into a professional work place and a professional setting every day. Therefore, my expectations were based on my assumptions of an internship that I have observed through the media and the opinions of other students.

In the first day at my field agency, I was given a tour of the agency, introduction to the staffs as well as members of the Behavioral Team. My supervisor handed me a copy of HIPPA regulations to study and sign off, acknowledging that I have gone through and understood my responsibility to abide to the rule of privacy and confidentiality of clients as a social work intern who is part of the behavioral team. I was given a parking pass to enable me have access to the state parking garage utilized by the Health Department.

     September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever live in infamy inside the hearts and minds of American citizens. On that morning, the world saw live the destruction and devastation that terrorism can deliver right to our own backyard. Shocking images of the whole tragedy can still be seen on television even now, a whole six months later, yet even now it still seems unimaginable. As most Americans know, the Federal Government has implemented a huge amount of change to our foreign and domestic policies as a result of 9/11. The most noticeable of these in our everyday lives can be seen in our nation’s airports. Huge amounts of money and resources have been spent to help make sure that such a travesty will never

Flight 93 took off at 8:41, soaring to its destination of San Francisco. Six minutes later, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North tower of the World Trade Center. At 9:00, the pilots receive a message from United Services, telling them to be wary of cockpit intruders. One of the pilots simply typed back “Confirmed” ( Clift, Breslau, and Evans). Shortly after 9:25, ( Clift, Breslau, and Evans) Flight 93 entered Cleveland airspace, and checked in with air traffic control center to get their heading. After a short good morning, the air traffic control man heard someone say an aggressive “Hey!” (Longman 69) and then a series of violent noises. Then it was quiet. After a half of a minute of silence, either Captain Jason Dahl or

I wish that I would have known to ask more questions in the beginning. I would have written a list of questions to ask prior to my first day. Now possessing this knowledge, I will pursue my next summer internship role with these facts in

Initially, the most difficult and intimidating part of the internship was the office duties. The intimidation of office duties stemmed from the fear of doing a task incorrect. Fortunately, Aspire’s staff is very helpful and has always willing to walk me through the task I need help with. The office duties took a while to adjust to however, once I became familiar with the

After the orientation and the start of interacting with others, I was placed at Hawkins Youth Clinic where I was interning for becoming a

They would be continuously telling us to get closer or to make sure we are getting what they are saying. They would allow us to work in spare offices when we had a task or chore to do such as scanning in paper work, or readjusting someone’s file. They also wanted us to learn as much about the Rescue Mission as possible, so they gave all the interns a “rotation week,” where they had us work a different place every day. While working at the Rescue Mission I was at WCC (woman and children’s shelter), men’s shelter, food services, DRC (donation center), the clinic for bless my sole, 2nd Helpings, and Pantry/Mana. At each of these locations there was a thorough run through of everything along with a

During this day I was able to observe on how to make a report for the arrest at the county jail and what information had to go on the report. There had to a summary what had happened, the information from the detainee, and the affidavit report that goes to the judge. During this day I was also able to see what the procedures that the jailers have to follow are. First they get all of your information and your finger prints, and then they search you for anything that is not allowed after they confiscate everything that you had and they put them in a vacuum sealed package that is place in a secure place after that they give the detainees there jail apparel and take their picture. During this internship I was able to experience how well this deputies were well trained for their job and how much experience they had which could help me understand what the life experience of a deputy is like which could help me make a decision in what agency I would like to work for in the
