Physics : Surface Air Missile Strike

Since the beginning of aviation, aircraft have been used for other intentions besides carrying passengers and cargo. They have been used as weapons of war dating all the way back to the first world war, and the use of aircraft has enlightened the advancement of the aviation. “Throughout the history of aviation, the greatest progress in flight has been made during time when either war or the threat of war was present” (Millspaugh, et al., 2008, p. 33). However, the war we face today has been triggered by the deliberate use of aircraft to cause death, destruction, and mayhem.

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.

The four planes were hijacked by members of Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda was “a loose collection of militant Islamic groups led by Osama bin Laden.” (Langly). All men, women, and children in the planes died.

The most controversial flight in the 9/11 conspiracy, rivaled only by the disappearance of Flight 77, is the damage done to the pentagon. The first mystery surrounding this event was the impossibility of a Boeing

September 11, 2001 will forever be known as an infamous and tragic day Americans will unquestionably remember. On this day, three planes filled with innocent civilians, were hijacked and crashed into significant sites. The three places the hijacked planes collided with were the Twin Towers in New York City, and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. In addition, the terrorists orchestrating the whole attack scheduled a fourth plane to collide into another aimed target. Fortunately, though unlike the other hijacked planes, the mission was unsuccessful. The passengers on the plane fought against the terrorists and eventually surpassed their power, landing the plane in Pennsylvania. Though this may have been a slight victory and prevented worse outcomes, it did not outweigh the devastating results of the collisions. Inside the Twin Towers and the Pentagon,

Connection to Another Event: This connects to the Russian plane that crashed on the Sinai Peninsula on October 31st, 2015.

The fear of Soviet Russia has now long dissipated, however, the threat of decentralized terrorist groups now constantly looms on the horizon. Modern day terrorists aim to deliver ideological messages through inducing fear in the public. The platform of terrorism has evolved into technological, proxy attacks capable of causing critical damage to civilians and landscapes. The base case of aerial terrorism is 9/11, an incident in which terrorists hijacked a commercial aircraft to target the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The sheer terror induced by the 9/11 attacks resulted in the installment of more comprehensive air travel security procedures. However, newer aircrafts utilized by terrorists, particularly unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), present a threat operating on a larger scope than air travel security regulations. Through UAVs, terrorists can program guided explosives to target densely populated sites from remote locations. The threat of UAVs is augmented by the accessibility of low-cost drones available through the commercial market. Any technologically-minded terrorist can purchase mass quantities of drones at a low price, weaponize the device, and remotely direct the newly formed weapon through a computer. Furthermore, the operator of the UAV carrying out the act of terrorism incurs no risk to their livelihood,

On September 11, 2001, multiple airplanes were hijacked by 19 militants linked with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda, against buildings and landmarks in the United States. The terrorist’s boarded four aircrafts at three East Coast airports, and soon after takeoff, they were able to successfully hinder the crews. The hijackers then took control of the aircraft, all “large and bound” for areas across the country with filled fuel tanks . At 8:46 am the first plane, American Airlines flight 11, which had originated from Boston was piloted into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York . In addition, the second plane, United Airlines flight 175, also from Boston, hit the south tower 17 minutes later . The two towers were “badly damaged by the impact and erupted” into flames . Some individuals who were trapped in the higher floors of the building were essentially left with no choice than to jump to their deaths instead of burning in the “infernos raging” inside the towers. The third plane, American Airlines flight 77, which departed from an airport near Washington, D.C., hit the southwest side of the Pentagon at 9.37 a.m., causing mass destruction and raging fires . The fourth hijacked airplane, United Airlines flight 93, which departed from Newark, New Jersey, crashed close to Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to subdue their attackers . Unfortunately, at 9:59 am the World Trade Center’s “heavily damaged” south tower gave in and collapsed and

In addition, according to authorities, these hijackers killed the pilots before the airliners hit their targets.

Other theorists believe that the passengers were murdered or relocated and be found. Some conspiracy theorists will say that a missile that honed in on one of the plane’s engines shot down the plane. Eyewitness accounts of a "mystery plane" that

Significantly, one contributing factor was the diversion of the aircraft to Los Rodeos. This was caused by an explosion of the first bomb at its original destination, Gran Canaria Airport, at 13:15pm where it was then followed by a claim of a second bomb [2, pp. 572]. The civil authorities were then forced to shut the airport down temporarily, which diverted all the incoming flights, including two Boeing 747 aircraft to the Los Rodeos airport. However, the Los Rodeos airport was small to accommodate all as it had only one airstrip [2, pp. 572]. The authorities then reopened that airport after the threat had been contained at Gran Canaria.

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

It has been a year since the explosion at the industrial park. The witnesses stated that they saw an airplane crash at the site are now recanting their story, but authorities are not saying why..."

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

In this report I want to investigate the human and technical factors behind the Soyuz 1971 space disasters and investigate the deaths of the crew. Understanding how this sort if disaster can be prevented, and looking at the steps taken as a result and assessing their effectiveness.
