Runway Collision of Unitted Express 5925 and Beechcraft King Air N1127D

This story should be the story of a hero. The story of Whip Whitaker, an excellent pilot, who with a malfunctioning airline jet in a uncontrollable dive to earth and with eminent death quickly approaching, remained calm and managed to control his own anxiety and direct others to execute an intuitive and intelligent plan that allowed him to fly and crash land the jet in a controlled manner as to minimize the loss of life. Out of 102 souls on the flight only 6

This crash is considered to be the second deadliest aviation accident at the time in the US.

Effects of the ill decision-making were enormous. The hanger received indirect fire from the enemy resulting in the wounding of several helicopter crew chiefs. Soldiers met confusion when navigating the rules of engagement (Tomasso, 5, 12-13). Human error, netted well over three-fourths of the safety accidents in the

This collision occurred on Aviation Street. Aviation Street is a North-South, two ways, straight level asphalt paved roadway. There are no painted broken lines separating the North and Southbound lanes. Aviation Street is bordered to the East and West by a raised concrete curb.

The crash of Continental Flight 3407 in Clarence Center, New York resulted in the loss of everyone aboard the plane and “one on the ground.” Karen and her daughter miraculously escaped. Doug did not.

Sometime between 5:21pm and 5:25pm the airplane was reporting a ground tract of 291 degrees magnetic north. Also between this time the altitude of

One possible theory is that the pilots were responsible for the disappearance of the aircraft. One reason I think the pilots were responsible is, that if both of the pilots agreed to bail they

It all started when the Hawker Hunter, a 1950s plane, failed to complete an acrobatic loop and suddenly lost control.

In the early hours of the morning on Tuesday, August 16th 2005, West Caribbean Airways Flight 708 was a West Caribbean Airways charter flight which crashed in a mountainous region of northwest Venezuela. With eight crew members and 152 passengers the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 departed Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City, Panama and headed to Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (FDF) in Fort-de-France, Martinique, France. After initially climbing to FL310, and subsequently to FL330 to level off, the Captain of the aircraft noticed the engines sounded abnormal. Reacting to sounds of the engines, the Captain began to take corrective actions to correct the problem, by starting a rapid descent as a precaution. The time from the initial radio call from the first officer declaring engine problems to the subsequent crash took only 9:00 minutes. This research paper will delve into the chain of mistakes that were made in order for this terrible accident to have occured.

The plane left Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), Baltimore, Maryland about 6 p.m. after two hours delay due to the bad weather conditions at Chicago. That accident happened for the first flight of a long scheduled three-day trip. The pilot was in charge of flying while the co-pilot was in charge of monitoring. Before taking off, they received the latest weather updates for MDW, which indicates that the active runway for them would be 31C with mixed braking conditions.

ValuJet 592 was a tragic accident that occurred in May 1996 when the plane crashed in a fiery inferno in the Florida Everglades, only minutes after taking off from Miami. The investigation report published by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) ruled the cause of the fire as two oxygen generators igniting in the forward hold of the plane, but identified many emergent behaviors that changed the business environment and contributed to the final outcome. This discovery unearthed errors made among the system units-ValuJet, Federal Aviation Agency (FAA), and SabreTech- that lead to this system failure (Langewiesche, 1998). Following will be an analysis of the various system units and how their strategic business decisions contributed, and ultimately led, to this horrific accident.
