The plane crash in Guam was an entirely avoidable feat, and with a different cultural background might not have happened at all. At the time of the plane crash, the guide light was broken, the weather nasty, lots of rain and wind, and the pilot was exhausted. The pilot decided to use a type of landing requiring visual sight of the runway and VOR technology. The crew had misgivings about this. The plane was 16 miles away from the airport, where the VOR had led them to, not realizing that they were not at the airport the pilot tried to land the plane after both the first officer and engineer hinted at concern. In the pivotal moment where the first officer or the engineer could have stepped in, they chose not override the authority and allowed the pilot to stay his course.This decision ended the night with the plane crashing into the side of Nimitz Hill, killing 228 people. Power distance, or the acceptance of authority plays a large role in this unfortunate event, there were several opportunities where the first officer or the engineer could have strongly expressed his concern instead of slight hints. At the very end, if the first officer had seized the wheel as it was taught in training, there would have been enough time to save the plane, instead, the first officer allowed the pilot to continue. The cultural power distance in Korea, is higher, …show more content…
Autonomy, complexity, and connection between effort and reward- The idea that work is more satisfying if it is complex and if there is a direct positive relation between the effort put in, and the reward reaped because of that. If there is no extra reward for putting in extra time or working harder at task, most people will not put in extra work. Where as, if putting in more work created more food, or more money, more people would put in the extra work. Gladwell argues that people were much happier and more productive if the work was complex and yielded rewards proportional to the amount of work put into the
9/11 was of the biggest “terrorist attack” in the United States History. Many building was destroyed in this single day. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, the pentagon, and crash in field near Shanksville in western Pennsylvania. The day of 9/11 was a conspiracy.
What, not who, is to be blamed for 9/11? It’s very clear that the primary cause of 9/11 was the planes, hijacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists, crashing into the buildings. However, it’s also commonly known that the twin towers stood for a memorable a hundred and two minutes before crashing down from the view the manhattan skyline. So how were so many lives lost when there was so much time to escape the buildings? Many have searched for answers, and have come to conspiratorial conclusions, biased and without relatable evidence. However after reviewing the information on the attacks, one thesis stands above the rest of them; the lack of communication was responsible for the greatest loss of life. Though there are many other great points to be made
As history events have been noted in books, so that people will hopefully learn from our miss stakes. There are many things that causes certain events to be written down in history books and that would be when something important happen. This can be something that was a good day or an event that cause a lot of problems. Now what this essay is going to talk about is how the day of 9/11 started and how it even finish after everything was over. Also there might be some things on this essay that might make people mad for writing about 9/11 in general or that it could have been an inside job. Many people believe that this weaken the United States. For the longest time this was the first time that more than 2,000 people die in the U.S from an terrorist attack.
This week we mark the 14th anniversary of one of the worst days in American history -- the day we have come to know by two numbers: 9/11.
The 9/11 Memorial has about 300,000 people visit it each year, you should be one of them to. If you go to New York the 9/11 Memorial is becoming one of the top tourist attractions in the city, and I can’t see why it's not at the top already. The 9/11 Memorial is a beautiful pool with gushing water running down its sides, and within the pool there is a smaller square pool that still has water running down to it. Just to top it off, it has trees that surround the pools, just imagine it when it’s in the fall and all the leaves turn colors and the leaves may float down and into the pool. The best part about visiting the 9/11 Memorial is that it is free! You should be one of the 300,000 a year.
An event such as 9/11 was bound to occur at some point and time, due to the United States’ strained relationship with the Middle East, with roots back to the year 1910. However, it wasn’t until the Gulf War in 1991, when tensions began to run high. The Gulf War began due to an Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, who ordered an invasion of Kuwait. Neighbouring countries were alarmed by the news and immediately asked for Western nations to intervene, fearing Hussein would continue to feed his power hunger and advance to other Arabian countries. Finally after forty two days at war, his troops surrendered. From this moment on, the events leading up to the attack on 9/11 snowballed. This is evidenced by, “After the Gulf War ended in 1991, the United
9/11 had many people devastated. Many people lost many loved ones do to the 9/11 attack on the day of September 11, 2001. 3,000 people were killed during the attacks of New york and Washington D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters. If you may not know what 9/11 is it is the day when American Boeing Airlines loaded with 20,000 gallons of fuel crashed into the World Trade Center. The crash left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th to the 110th floor. About 18 minutes after the first crash on the north side of the Trade Center, the second Boeing plane hit the south side of the building on the 60th floor. The collision of the two planes made a massive explosion that showered debri.The people that were involved
Everyday millions of people, more specifically U.S. citizens trust and rely on their government to make the right decisions in order to keep them safe. On September 11th, 2001, the U.S. government betrayed their citizens by letting and also taking part in the worst attack to ever happen on our soil. Our government betrayed us that day and our former President George Bush and many other government officials had prior knowledge and even were a part of the 9/11 “terrorist” attacks.
9/11, one of the most devastating events to take place in the history of the United States. This attack was lead by a former terrorist group named Al Qaeda, or was it. For this research paper, I have decided to go in depth of the event that took place on September 11th. I will be taking the side that states Al Qaeda had nothing to do with the attacks, and that it was in fact an inside job lead by Bush and his administration. I am covering this topic because ever since learning about this event in middle school, I have always been skeptical about why and how that happened. Personally, I would like to know more and see what can be discovered by researching this event. I am also doing this topic because I have heard from many people Bush was
September 11, 2001 is the day four planes were hijacked and three crashed into important buildings, while the last crashed into a field. And today all the grief, devastation, great sacrifice, and total annihilation will be remembered throughout time as 9/11. To tell you everything would take forever, so instead I will tell you how my mother saw it. It was on a day we all know as 9/11, there was a house on Quimby Way in Sacramento, California. And in this house, my mother was going throughout her day as usual, which most likely involved laundry, dishes, and watching two children by the name of Alanna and Christopher, when she saw the news. “Is this really happening? This can’t be true! Was it an accident? Oh my god, both towers! What would ever make someone do that? This is terrible, why is it even happening in the first place? Why? Why?
Many people believe that the story behind 9/11 isn't necessarily true, they actually think that the owner of the twin towers planned the whole thing. At first glance it may seem like it was a terrorist attack. This initial perception fails to take in the account of the benefits the owner will receive. If people continue to believe that 9/11 was a terrorist attack, the owner of the twin towers also known as Larry Silverstein will get away causing one of America's greatest tragedies. The owner of the Twin Towers planned the 9/11 terrorists attack to get money because of the insurance claim, he missed work, and right before became a new owner.
1. Explain the major tactical phases of a terrorist operation and describe the considerations used by terrorists in selecting targets and identify the three major elements that define 9/11 as a terrorist attack.
9-11 was one of our horrible events that happened in our history. Nearly 3,000 innocent people were killed. There are many theories\opinions about 9-11, more particularly, the terrorists. The terrorists claimed to be ‘muslims’. Some people, like me, didn’t believe them, yet some people unfortunately did.
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.
When I stepped into the large neatly organized white polished plane, I never though something would go wrong. I woke up and found myself on an extremely hot bright sunny desert island filled with shiny soft bright green palm trees containing rough bright yellow hard felt juicy apples. The simple strong plane I was in earlier shattered into little pieces of broken glass and metal when crashing onto the wet slimy coffee colored sand and burning with red orange colored flames. After my realization to this heart throbbing incident I began to run pressing my eight inch footsteps into the wet squishy slimy light brown sand looking in every direction with my wide open eyes filled with confusion in search of other survivors. After finding four
