1. How should Smooth Sailings’ management perform the recoverability test for the cruise ship as of December 31, 2010?

Following the investigation of the American Airlines 1420 accident, the NTSB released a detailed and comprehensive list of the overall findings. Using data from the accident craft’s CVR and FDR, along with a thorough investigation of the crash site, the NTSB findings painted a clear understanding of the string events leading up to the crash. In addition, the events gave insight to the causes that prevented flight 1420 from landing safely in Little Rock.

Many men, women and children died on this brutal two-month trip. Starvation, illness, floggings and men jumping overboard into the seas took the lives of some around me. It was hard to fathom the horrible treatment the crew inflicted upon all of the men, women, and children; how they treated us

The habitually undercelebrated aviation arm of the Marine Air-Ground team edges towards collapse while top leaders panic with confusion, unable to recognize the problem. Whatsmore, while the already dire readiness issues continue to plague multiple aircraft and undoubtedly played pivotal if not central roles in recent and abundant non-combat deaths of Marine aviators, an impending manpower crisis looms. The manning piece of the challenge, not the readiness issue, has the potential and likelihood to irrevocably mutilate Marine aviation.

After the collision last month, the heavily-damaged Fitzgerald went back to Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan. The Navy and Coast Guard are investigating the incident. Because of what those seven sailors suffered and what their families are now paying, decency demands that we be cautious in drawing conclusions about the causes of the collision. This collision will reminds us that there is no such thing as a safe

In 1986 when the space shuttle Challenger launched from Kennedy Space Center people watched in awe for a little more than a minute before the shuttle exploded in flight. This was the first of only two major accidents that occurred during over two decades of NASA’s shuttle program and many would consider it to be a fluke that could not have been prevented or predicted. In truth the Challenger disaster was an accident waiting to happen and was a symptom of systemic problems that were occurring at NASA during that era. The 1986 space shuttle Challenger disaster was cause by a number of factors including structural failure of the shuttle, a change in NASA’s work environment from the days of the

During the Challenger Space Shuttle Disaster, many professional responsibilities were neglected. First, engineers did not “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public” (Ethics Code II. 1. a.). For example, although the ice inspection team found the launch situation to be of great concern, the launch director authorized it anyway (Texas A&M University 5). At this point, professional bodies or public authorities should have been notified.

Duna. Duna. DunaDunaDuna Dunaaaa (Jaws Theme Song). Chomp. Movies about sharks are very stereotypical. Jaws the movie was exaggerating the attacks of sharks on humans. Jaws showed that sharks are just out to get humans. We are there main meal. That’s not true. They are very stereotypical about sharks and their history as I have said before. Well your “Man eating, flesh ripping” sharks hunt and attack the humankind by using their senses, methods of attacks, and aggressiveness in history.

Despite the Chrysler Bailout and Challenger Disaster being distinct situations, both required a judgmental decision-making approach. The lack of this approach in the Challenger disaster could be attributed to the fact that the face of failure was invisible to the decision makers compared to the Chrysler Bailout. The highest Chrysler’s sales numbers indicated to the decision makers that if a swift and effective decision was not implemented their existence would be short-lived. The highest level of managers at NASA had no idea of the engineer’s concerns about the Challenger.

The ASME created standards and codes for pressure vessels as well as initiating a precedent for analyzing engineering failures as to help prevent future disasters. Before, even when incidents were sometimes catastrophic, pressure vessels were simply deemed a dangerous line of work. The ASME, along with societies of other engineering disciplines, created a system to diagnose sources of error, which provided a basis from which engineers could innovate solutions. At its core, the method is just a few simple steps: contain the disaster, analyze the failure source, and determine who or what was at fault. With formal societies and rules in place, engineers were more accountable than ever for their projects. However the system for accountability was still incomplete. By 1919, engineering disasters were still catastrophic as a result of questionable practices and judgment. It was around this time that engineering licensure was developed as well as the adaptation of engineering ethics into the analysis of engineering catastrophes. Engineering ethics provided additional insight into why engineers make critical decisions as well as provide a platform for judging these engineers when things go wrong. Now the analysis gained an additional step: was the decision or action that led to failure made ethically or was it morally

The last threat that seemed to be looming over Craft Marine was the unpredictability of the economy. With the September 11th terrorist attacks being just a year ago, the predictability of the market was poor. There was no way of knowing whether boats were going to be something that the market wanted or not. Frank and his team had a few options of how they were going to go about attaining the goals they had set for themselves.

On the icy morning of January 28, 1986, seven brave people boarded the Challenger space shuttle. All of America sat around their televisions watching and waiting for the space shuttle to finally lift off. One of the seven people aboard this shuttle was Christa McAuliffe, a teacher in the Teachers in Space program and would have been the first civilian to go into space. Her students were invited to come to NASA and watch. The engines roar sounded loudly and the shuttle finally left the ground. It was an illuminating sight to see, until a flame started at the base of the shuttle. The space shuttle caught on fire what seemed like instantly, and exploded within seconds. Due to this tragedy, the NASA space program has made several improvements to prevent tragedies like this one from ever happening again (Carreau). NASA may have made improvements, but the horrifying memory of this disaster will be embedded in the minds of the people of America and Christa 's class for the rest of their lives.

Sometime you feel like you have control of everything in the world,but in reallize you don't. For example in " Macbeth" Macbeth try really hard to make sure that his destiny wouldnt come true. A other example of this is the "Sport Gene" Holm try so hard at the high jump so he could beat Thomas. But in the end Holm sitll loss. SO it didnt matter how hard you try to make something happen or not happen, sometime it just the way your destiny is setup.

A Coast Guard Cutter departed home port on July 2nd 2015 for a routine summer Alaska Patrol, with scheduled port calls in Kodiak, Dutch Harbor, Adak, and a transit into the arctic circle. Weeks passed and the crew settled into their routine of underway life. There soon began to appear issues of poor communications, simple daily tasks were not complete. Watch issues, teams not properly prepared for a mission. There is a break down between the junior officers and the chiefs. Junior officers and chiefs unwillingness to follow a mentorship programs, is causing poor mission execution.
