Prosecution Of The International Civil Aviation Organization

One of the most controversial and important air crash linked to human error of the modern world happened on the night of February 12, 2009. Colgan air flight 3407, operated by Continental Connection, was on final approach to runway 23 at Buffalo-Niagara International Airport as it disappeared from radar. The aircraft was a Bombardier Dash 8, a popular twin engine medium range turboprop Airliner used by many regional carriers. The aircraft entered an uncontrollable stall crashing into to a neighborhood 5 miles northeast of the airport killing all everyone on souls on board. The Captain, Marvin Resnlow and first officer Rebecca Lynne were behind the controls the night of the accident. The NTSB report determined error by both pilots cause the aircraft to crash. Thus, pilot fatigues, improper recovery form a stall were contributing factors. The victim’s family members pushed for congress to overhaul airline regulations. The NTBS investigation delivery multiple findings that eventually led to a modernization of airline operations and pilot training.

September 9th air plane hiking’s, almost 18 years ago has had a tremendous impact on American security and airline procedures. Since 9/11 first happened there has been more producers and security rules altered to defuse threats moreover: hijackings also other dangerous attacks. All the attacks, even threats lead to greater consequences, such as higher security, additional restrictions. Airlines are forced to revise rules over and over again with every incident: additional that leads further frustration and dissatisfaction with costumers and many employees as well.

Domestic Terrorism has become a serious problem in the United States. The actions taken by offenders on April 15, 2013 disrupted the lives of many. This paper will explore events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing incident and evaluate the effects caused by the incident. While also reviewing the strategies of various local, state, and federal agencies and how they coordinated their efforts to suspects while also ensuring the safety of the public at the same time. Practices conducted by law enforcement agencies during investigation will also be analyzed to determine whether conducted properly and ethical. Not only will this paper discuss the investigation but the criminal proceeding in which parties involved face prosecution. During criminal

Thesis: U.S. based attacks on civilian aircraft started with skyjacking in the early 1960s, prompting action from aviation security. The events of 9/11 led to significant changes in aviation security, when aircraft were used as weapons in a well orchestrated, organized attack. This led to an evolution of reaction to threats to a proactive approach managed by the federal government. Threats evolved from skyjacking aircraft, to targeting aircraft in well developed plots for terrorist organizations.

To conclude, acts of terrorism both international or domestic in the United States show the issue of security and the problems it can cause. The event of the Boston Marathon Bombing only supports my claim, offenders were already in the country and committed such a monstrous crime. This paper explored the events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing incident, strategies taken during investigation and prosecution. The Coordinated efforts of various local, state, and federal during the investigation and apprehension of the suspects while also ensuring the safety of the public at the same time played a significant role. Whether or not the actions of law enforcement were conducted properly and were ethical was examined. Following the investigation,

The day of 9/11 sparked the attention of the aviation industry, citing that it will never be the same again. Different sectors

The greatest impacts on aviation security were the events that unfolded on September 11, 2001. “American Airlines Flight 11, a wide –body Boeing 767, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, at 8:46 a.m. EDT, hitting floors 94 to 98.” (Bragdon, Clifford, 2008, p.127). At 9:02 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767, struck the World Trade Center South Tower hitting floors 78 to 85. “A third airplane, American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757-200, crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., at 9:37 a.m.” (Bragdon, Clifford, 2008, p.127). A fourth airplane, United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757, crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania; it is believed its target was the White House or Capitol Building. This plot constructed by Osama bin Laden exploited the vulnerability of the airplanes cockpit and control over the airplane. Bin Laden chose the Boeing 767 for its capability of holding 20,000 gallons of jet fuel to use as a weapon on the twin towers. The transportation system always recognized airplanes as a target of terrorist attacks, but never considered airplanes as been utilized as a weapon in an attack. Domestic agencies were searching for threats in the country. “The September 11 attacks fell into a void between the foreign and domestic threats. The foreign intelligence agencies were watching overseas, while the domestic agencies were waiting for evidence of a domestic threat from sleeper cells within the United States. No one was looking for a foreign threat to domestic targets.” (Kramer, R.M., 2005, International Public Management Journal, 8(3). Unnatural threats are generally man made and include explosives, biological weapons, conventional weapons, military weapons, improvised devices, sabotage, and also unconventional threats such as mental instability of pilots and

On May 11, 2001, there were two Middle Eastern men named Mohamed Atta and Abdulaziz Alomari were acting suspicious in Boston Logan’s Airport, according to an eyewitness he stated, “One man was videotaping and taking still photos of the flight board and the checkpoint from about 25 feet away, while the other was talking loudly in Arabic on a cellphone” the behavior from both men had gone on for about forty-five minutes (New York Post, 2014). Though the events were reported to authorities and airport security had the right to investigate anybody who was surveilling a checkpoint nothing was ever followed up on and the men were still allowed to board the plane (New York Post, 2014). Four months later, September 11, 2001, Mohammad Atta went through Boston Logan’s Airport security with his carry-on bag which contained box cutters and mace spray boarded American Airlines Flight 11 and hijacked the plane.

Before the attack on September 11th, Americans lived under the assumption that they had immunity from the world’s turmoil. But who could blame them; a foreign attack had not taken place on American soil since the war of 1812, not to mention, America’s greatest adversary, the Soviet Union, had disbanded nine years prior, leaving the US with no considerable enemies. Whatever the circumstances under which the September 11th attacks occurred, the resulting events would change commercial aviation in perpetuity and leave a lasting economic, militaristic, and humanitarian impact on the world.

The NTSB Office of Transportation Disaster Assistance provides family/victim support coordination, family assistance centers, forensic services, communication with foreign governments, and inter-agency coordination to assist communities and commercial carriers in the event of a major transportation disaster. Transportation disasters are unique events in the areas of investigation, victim identification, family interactions, and media and political attention. By federal law, the NTSB is required to investigate all aviation accidents and significant accidents in other modes of transportation such as rail, marine, highway, hazardous materials, and

The crash of the Turkish carrier flight 981 was to be sure a learning knowledge for the whole aircraft industry and amid the following couple of years, examinations and hearings numerous reports had surfaced which made it clear that the disappointment of the plane was not as straightforward as it was thought to be. Every single hierarchical disappointment at each stage and the mixes of every one of these disappointments and breakdowns delivered awful outcomes and a point to be noticed that the FAA perceived their duty regarding the carrier business' security, not simply business achievement and benefit and from that point forward the FAA has settled
