The Tragedy Of Air Florida Flight 90

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.

On September 11’th 2001 on the morning hijacked by 19 Arab men 4 aircraft were all heading towards California, and used them as suicide missiles. They flew into the World Trade Center two twin towers, the Pentagon and after a long struggle with passengers crashed last down on a field. World Trade Center consisted of seven buildings, three of the buildings collapsed and the four others were damaged by the other collapsed.

Terrorist attacks weaken the spirits of everyone in the world. On the day of September 11, 2000, you can hear the endless hearts and spirits breaking around the world. In the article, “ 9/11: Finding Answers in Ashes 16 years later,” Editorial Board, tells the story of how the chief medical examiner, Dr. Barbara Sampson explains the process and the work that was completed after the 9/11 attack.

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.

This is Jack Shepard writing to you on behalf of the survivors of the Oceanic flight 815 plane crash. Out of the 324 people on board, only 71 of us are still alive. I’m not going to list all of them, that would be a waste of paper, and I don’t have much.

On 9/11 2001 one of the most tragic events happened of all time. It was a clear sunny day in the fall when 4 planes were suddenly hijacked. The first plane was the American Airlines Flight 11 with 92 people aboard. The plane leaves from Boston’s International Airport going to Los Angeles. The second plane was the United Airlines Flight 175 with 65 people aboard. It leaves from Boston also going to Los Angeles. Then the last plane was the American Airlines Flight 77 leaves from Dulles International Airport is headed to Los Angeles with 64 people aboard. The last was plane was the American Airlines Flight 77 with 64 people aboard. Almost 3,000 people were killed that day.

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

On December 13th, 1982 one of the most memorable plane accidents happened on Fourteenth Street bridge which happens to cross over the Potomac River. On a cold and snowy day just after 4 o’clock a 737 Boeing airplane crashed into the river near Washington D.C. The flight was supposed to return to Ft. Lauderdale, however, snow in Washington briefly closed the airport. When the airport reopened, the plane was de-iced, but still had difficulties once it got into the air due to the ice. Seventy-four passengers and five crew members were on the plane and unfortunately seventy-three of them died. When the plane crashes, it struck multiple vehicles and then hit a section of the bridge. On the bridge four people were killed and another four people were injured. The main reason so many perished were due to the extreme cold of the water, the snow storm conditions and the heavy traffic, which prevented firefighters from reaching the site of the crash, and the failures of Air Florida’s flight crew. The water temperature in the Potomac at the time was around thirty-four degrees Fahrenheit. According to Amanda Ripley’s “The Unthinkable”, “humans have a low tolerance for extreme temperatures and cannot spend long periods of time in those ranges. After a certain amount of time heart rates start to lower, blood vessels constrict which causes pain. Blood would begin to abandon extremities to frostbite, choosing to save your heart instead”. All three of these conditions lead to a higher death

The airline industry has seen drastic changes since September 11, 2001. The government ordered a complete shutdown for three days of not only all commercial aircraft but such carriers as domestic flights and emergency aircraft. For days after September 11th, all aircraft stayed on the ground. Even military aircraft had to receive special clearance to fly. In a ripple effect, the entire economy of the United States and the world was put on hold. The New York Stock Exchange shut its doors because of the attacks on the towers of the World Trade Center.

The above mentioned airplane was a planned commercial passenger flight that took off from LaGuardia Airport, New York destined for Charlotte Douglas Airport in North Carolina on January 15, 2009. Six minutes after takeoff, the airplane was successfully abandoned in Hudson River after striking multiple birds during its initial climb out. The crew reported by radio two minutes after takeoff at an altitude of 3,200 feet, the Airbus experienced multiple bird strikes. The result of this multiple bird strikes, which occurred in northeast of George Washington Bridge was compressor stalls as well as loss of thrust in both engines. The Airbus was ditched in Hudson River after the aircrew

Human factors in one way or another has contributed to every single aircraft accident that has ever occurred (Wood & Sweginnis, 2006) Not only were they involved in the June 1, 1999 landing runway overrun of American Airlines flight 1420, but there were two significant human factors that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) declared as the probable cause for the accident. First, the NTSB determined that the probable causes of American Airlines Flight 1420 was the flight crew’s failure to abort or divert the attempted landing when the warnings of severe

The airline industry can be considered an imperfect oligopoly. There are several large carriers that dominate long distance flights, and many small carriers that compete for short distance flights. Competition is fierce, and the return for most carriers is very low. Some airlines are trying to differentiate themselves, like JetBlue for example, by offering superior services at low prices. Other low cost airlines, like Southwest, offer low costs with no frills. Most airlines offer a frequent flyer programs in order to develop brand loyalty. In recent years there has also been several alliances formed between airlines. These alliances enable

According to the incident investigation report, one of the chain event that contributed to the B-OBMM incident was unapproved procedures to carried out

However, 13 years later the security debate continues as to whether we do enough to protect the passengers, or if flying is any safer than it was before the terrorist attack.
