TWA Flight 800 Research Papers

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.

The plane then reportedly filled with thick smoke with flames shooting from the rear of the plane. The passengers struggled to get though either the emergency exits or through holes in fuselage that were torn open due to the crash. The rescue effort was also slowed due to power outages on the field. The bay doors for the rescue vehicles needed to be open manually slowing the rescue crews from getting to the plane. Overall a total of 11 people died including Captain Richard W. Bushmann, a 20-year veteran with American Airlines. 83 of the 143 passengers were injured.

In August of 1978 three teenage girls were driving a Ford Pinto and were struck from behind. The three girls died because the Ford Pinto’s fuel tank ruptured from the collision and burst into flames. There was a big debate about the safety of the Ford Pinto to its proneness to its fuel tank catching on fire in low-speed rear-end

While Millions watched very frightened because of the events in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 went around downtown Washington D.C, and slammed into the west of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 am. Jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating flame that led to a collapse of the whole building. After all of this, 125 people were killed in the Pentagon itself while 64 died inside of the airplane. (History)

According to NIST (National Institute for Standard Technology) the planes may have crashed, but the cause of the collapses were emerging fires-that sprung from jet fuel and flying debris. This supports the theory that exposed steel allowed fires to spring off and burn buildings until they collapsed.

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

Thesis: Pan Am flight 103 was one of the first commercial aircraft to be taken down by terrorist with an improvised explosive device (IED) containing Semtex, a high explosive, and a timing device hidden in checked luggage. The flight was delayed on takeoff time, which resulted in the aircraft exploding over land leaving evidence for forensic investigators. FAA regulations of screening checked bags with X-ray technology was ignored, allowing the (IED) device on board with checked luggage in the cargo hold. Theories of motive lead investigators to believe this was an act of retaliation.

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

To begin, the transportation system and the methods they use have greatly impacted both how and where people decide to live. The transportation system is a very important aspect to any nation’s economy. As stated, transportation systems also offer opportunities for terrorists who wish to disrupt and damage transportation systems and injure an immense number of people. In 1985, TWA Flight 847 was hijacked on a flight from Athens to Rome. The plane was overtaken by Shitte Hezbollah terrorists who desperately wanted to know the identity of the passengers with Jewish sounding names. The two terrorists who are of a Lebanese decent that were armed with a 9 millimeter gun and grenades made the plan land in the city of Beirut in Lebanon. As the hijackers

On November 24, 1971, a passenger like any other boarded Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305. The man known as D.B. Cooper, hijacked the plane with a ransom note that demanded money and parachutes, when he got the money he jumped off the plane, never to be seen again. Many have wondered how he succeeded the heist and if he even survived the jump.

Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) Flight 751 landed at Stockholm/Arlanda Airport I on 26 December, 1991, at 2209 hours. Little did they know, within 24 hours that would be the last time it would land at an airport. The plane landed on a slush covered filled after it had snowed at the airport. Upon landing, the wings still had roughly 2,550 kilograms of fuel left in each of them. There the plane sat at a gate and at around 0200 hours on 27 December, 1991, a flight technician had finished inspecting the airplane and had noted that ice had formed on upper portion of the wings.

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

What I want to be when I grow up is an aerospace engineer. The reason for me wanting to be an aerospace engineer is that I have a lot of interest in astronomy. In this paper I will tell you many things like what Aerospace engineers do, what you need to do to become an Aerospace engineer, colleges nearby that work with aerospace engineering, what the median pay is, and what the work schedule may look like

There are several events that contributed to this incidents occurring. Some of them are related in the form of chain events for instance the second event occur because of the effect from the first event and the third event occur because of the effect from second event and so on until the incident occur. By using SHELL Model, base on the Aircraft Accident Report 3/96 which was provided and presented by Air Accidents Investigation Branch, Department of Transport, under the report title of “Report on the Incident to Boeing 737-400, G-OBMM near Davontry on 23 February 1995, the analysis of the contribution events to the incident can be reveal and the appropriate recommendations from competence authority was been made to ensure the same incident will not occur in the future.
