The Crash Of The United States Air Force

Once the plane had crashed, the people still alive questioned why God would do something like that to his faithful followers. Soon, however,

Charlie Victor Romeo, cockpit voice recorder, is a modern theatrical documentary derived entirely from the Black Box transcripts of six notable concrete airline emergencies. In this engaging and intensifying documentary, Charlie Victor Romeo positions the audience into perspective of being inside a tension-filled cockpits of authentic flights in distress, which proposes an intriguing representation of the sensibility in a mid-life crisis and a person’s life at jeopardy. The six transcript samples of previous voice recordings came from various air flights and incidents such as flights American 1572, American Eagle 4184, Aeroperu 603, USAF Yukla 27, Japan Air 123, and United 232. The film primarily portrays a significant purpose of entertainment and political motives, but also highlights the issue with aviation safety and the usage of air tragedies to depict it along with the considerate lack of communication and organization established. Thus, to establish an epidemic, catastrophic disasters must occur to generate great awareness for the issue, so for a similar disaster to not transpire again.

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

After the September 11th attacks the United States had major changes to airport security and air travel. At Denver International Airport in Colorado opened in 1995, for security the installed two security checkpoints, since the 9/11 attacks the checkpoints have been gradually expanded to take up almost two-thirds of the level 5 (Bearden). This is a reminder of how much aviations security has changed since 9/11, they have added X-ray machines, metal and explosive detectors, and millimeter body scanner. As Bearden states “I am old enough to remember when boarding an airplane was simple: One walked through an exterior door and took a short hike across the ramp before clambering up a mobile stairway.” Security was first set into place in the late

“This is the captain. Brace for impact!” announced the captain. “Brace, brace! Heads down! Stay down!” stated the flight attendants. These are some of the last words that were said on Flight 1549; a flight that landed in the Hudson river on a cold January day in 2009. The thrust of an Airbus 320 was lost after Canada Geese hit the engines just a mere three after takeoff. The man piloting the aircraft was Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. He was not alone on that fateful flight. Along with Sully was First Officer Jeff Skiles as well as flight attendants: Doreen Welch, Donna Dent, and Sheila Dail. Thanks to these miraculous people, everyone aboard that fateful flight survived. Chesley Sullenberger started flying when he was 16, and now he

American Airlines Flight 1420 tragically crashed on June 1, 1999. The flight crew attempted to land the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 in Little Rock, Arkansas during a thunderstorm. The aircraft overran the runway, crashing through several obstacles before coming to rest 800 feet from the end of the runway. Eleven people were killed and over 100 injured. This preventable accident was the result of human error, miscommunication, and poor decision making. After investigating the Flight 1420 crash, the NTSB made several recommendations to the FFA addressing the issues that led to the accident in an attempt to prevent such errors in the future.

Have you ever been in a life-threatening accident? On July 19, 1989, a DC-10 United Flight jet crash-landed in Sioux City, Iowa after the number two engine in the tail exploded (Flight 232, 8). The engine failure led to the loss of all hydraulics, which led to the loss of the controls. Fortunately, one of the passengers on the jet was Dennis Fitch, a United training and check pilot (AirDisaster.com, 2). He helped the pilots try to control the jet by using the throttles (Jet Carrying…, 2). The plane was flying from Denver, Colorado to Chicago, Illinois, but they made an emergency landing in Sioux City, where they tried to land at speeds of over 230 miles per hour, which was twice the speed of a regular approach (30 Minutes That…,

The terrorist attacks on September 11 2001 will have a permanent affect on the global culture. Nearly every decision, process, design in the aviation community will be affected from these attacks. The masterminds behind these attaches could not have envisioned how much the world would change from these acts.

In 1955, a flight from Denver to Portland was bombed killing all 39 passengers and the five crewmembers on board. The aircraft was a Douglas DC-6B and this time the bomber was identified to be Jack Graham who placed the bomb in his mother’s bag to collect on her life insurance. He was arrested and executed. Next come three mid-air collisions by United aircraft. The first one came on June 30, 1956 when a United’s DC-7 collided with a TWA Super Constellation over the Grand Canyon. All 128 on board both flights died and this then was the world’s deadliest commercial airline disaster. The next mid-air came in 1958 when another one of United’s DC-7s crashed into a United States Air Force F-100 fighter jet. The crashed landed in unpopulated desert terrain of Las Vegas, Nevada. The last of the mid-air collisions comes on December 6, 1960 when United’s DC-8, its first jet aircraft, hit another TWA Super Constellation over New York City. The crash killed 128 people on both aircraft and six people on the ground. These accidents led to a sweeping change in air traffic control in the United

Everyday millions of people fly on airplanes. It is an easy and fast way of traveling for work, vacations or to see family members. Statically air travel is safer than traveling by car, airplanes have higher fatality accidents. The reasons airplanes crash vary and can happen during takeoff, landing or during flight. “August 1985 witnessed more passenger and crew deaths on commercial airlines than any other month.” [http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-33931693.]

Southwest Airlines Flight 812 had an accident that occurred on April 1, 2011, at 3:58 PM or (1558) at Mountain Standard Time. The plane of this incident was a Boeing 737 for Southwest Airlines, the location of this incident was at Yuma, Arizona. The people that were on board were five (5) crew members and one-hundred and seventeen (117) passengers. During that time, flight 812 had felt a rapid decompression on the plane while the plane was climbing at 34,000 feet. The flight crew called an emergency landing and redirect to Yuma International Airport, one of the crew members and one off duty employee had minor injuries due to the rupture on the plane.

When U.S. Airways Fight 1549 recently went down in the Hudson River, it was big news, as well it should have been. However, like many other major news stories over the past 25+ years, reports of the downed jetliner and the successful rescue of its passengers dominated the news in such way that little else was covered over a period of several days.

On September 11th, 2001, an unexpected event happened in various parts of the country. Two planes flew into the World Trade Center’s towers, another hit the Pentagram near Washington D.C., and a final one in Pennsylvania. None of the passengers on any of those planes anticipated the crash. Although, on the other hand, the pilots of the planes did. The attacks were unexpected since, to quote Forrest Gump, “In life, you never know what you’re going to get.”

In addition to expiry dates, labor strikes were also investigated. However, European airlines were mainly studied because they strike more than U.S. airlines due to the rigidity of the Railway Labor Act. Lufthansa, Air France, SAS Group, Norwegian Air Shuttle, and Allegiant were studied. Data for each of the strikes was collected from each company’s investor relations pages and Bloomberg. Unfortunately, a statistically significant Regression Analysis could not be performed due to the lack of data points.

In today’s world, flying is generally an extraordinarily safe experience. Within the last five years, only one fatal plane crash has occurred. This is an impressive record considering that more than 87,000 flights can be found in United States airspace on any given day (NATCA). However, air safety has not always been as advanced as it is currently. Past accidents and collisions have triggered crucial safety improvements over the years. The 1956 plane crash over the Grand Canyon was a major catalyst for change as it caused the creation the Federal Aviation Agency.
