On July 19, 1989 United flight 232, a DC-10 aircraft took off from Denver’s Stapleton International Airport on route to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The DC-10 aircraft was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas. It has three General Electric CF6-6 engines, two that were wing mounted and one that was tail mounted. The number two engine, located on the tail, had a pre-existing defect introduced when it was manufactured. It was known as a hard alpha inclusion which causes cracks to form early in the lifetime of the fan disks. However, the cracks were too small to detect by the naked eye and overtime grew to a size large enough to bring the plane down on that fatal day. The fan disks located in the GE CF6-6 engine was initially rated for

Found on Celebrity Airlines Flight 82181 were a number of substances brought on by passengers. Given that the crash was ruled a terrorist attack, identification of all substances found on and in the bodies and luggages of the victims needed to be made. To do this, empirical and molecular formulas were put into use when determining substance identities. Each substance was tested to find the percent composition of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, and then used to find the empirical formula of the substance by using 100 grams of each substance to represent 100% made up by the elements combined. The mass of each element in the substance calculated from the percent was then divided by the molar mass of that
As the plane was approaching the New York area, the cockpit crew observed ice accumulation on the aircraft’s wings. This was an indication of the flight operating in a low temperature area and may have been the cause of the crash. The accumulation of ice on the wing adds weight to the air-bone body and thus, reduces the lift. Additionally, it also changes the shape of the wing, and this shape is what gives the lift. During the investigation held by the National Transportation Safety Board, the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) was examined and found out that the crew did not recheck if the de-ice system installed in the aircraft was operational or not. This was critical due to the fact that the ice buildup was a mere 6 minutes before the plane crashed. The Flight Data Recorder was brought into account, it stated that the de-ice system was set in the
Apollo 13 was the seventh attempted mission to go to the moon for the third time in April 11th 1970. The men who were assigned to that mission were Jim Lovell Fred Haise and Ken Mattingly. However Ken Mattingly got diagnosed with the measles, so they had to replace Ken with Jack Swigert who was the backup command module pilot for the Odyssey.
At 4:38pm Flash Airlines flight 604 was cleared to taxi to runway 22R for departure. It was an evening flight and the weather was perfect. Visibility was excellent and everything indicated it was going to be another routine flight. However, on January 3rd, 2004 it was anything but routine.
Have you heard about that band Twenty One Pilots? No? Well it is your lucky day because my goal is to prove to you that their music is phenomenal. Twenty One Pilots is a band made up of two members; Tyler Joseph, who is the lead singer and Joshua Dun, who is the drummer. They began in 2009 and have gained quite a fan base since then (Fred Thomas). Their unique sound and relatable music are the reasons why I believe they are the best band to ever exist.
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.
The last sighting of these creepy creatures was in 1947, and only one man alive today could share this thrilling story. In fact, this rancher was the only one to see the UFO crash occur and get close to the UFO. The first UFO crash, occurred in Roswell, Mexico in 1947 around Independence day. The rancher who goes by, Mac Brazel saw the incident and even went next to the crashed object. According to the Jesse Marcel from the Roswell, Air force,army states “ 2 different crashes occurred within the same month with the range of 30-40 miles apart.” Since then alien and UFO theories have begun going around. The rancher states “2 aliens were dead, one was dying, and one was trying to communicate,” could this be true? Therefore, this is classified as an unsolved mystery, there is evidence of proof to say it was a UFO. Nonetheless, according to the Air force it was only a weather balloon crash.Who’s lying and who's
The passengers on American Flight 184 thought that they were safe, but when terrorists hijacked the plane, the passengers knew they were in danger. This turned out to be the flight crashed into the Twin Towers on September 11th, 2001. After the attack was over their was 3,000 bodies found. The 9/11 memorial was constructed March 2006. The memorial stands in New York City. The memorial means a lot to the people who lost family members and close friends in the incident. The 9/11 attack was a real surprise and a shock to all the families who lost some family members.
On September 11th, 2001, or better known as “9/11”, several men who were supposedly linked to the terrorist group of al-Qaeda, hijacked 4 commercial jetliners with destined targets aimed at several buildings associating with our country’s government and economy. These attacks were all located in New York, and the most notable, most remembered, was the World Trade Center. Both towers that fell resulted in over 2,600 deaths from in and around the buildings. Along with this were the planes that struck the buildings which resulted in 147 additional deaths. To add up the numbers even more, nearly 60 more people were in the plane that hit the Pentagon, another target of the attacks, which held 125 deaths inside the building itself. The fourth plane, Flight 93, contained 40 more brave souls which defended a fourth target located in Washington.
“Even when I doubt you, I’m no good without you.” Without the band, Twenty One Pilots, I’d be in a much darker, quieter place that I am today. Twenty One Pilots is a two-man band that originated from Ohio, and has been slowly gaining more and more followers especially as of late. They also happen to be one of my all-time favorite bands. Their music consists of such depth, it is some of the greatest poetry I’ve ever heard, and it’s so relatable because they have dealt with and experienced everything that they discuss in their songs. The topics included in their music are issues such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness, but also the gradual journey toward recovery and reaching happiness- even if those negative things still exist inside.

Even though it’s still against Federal law to travel to Cuba for tourism, JetBlue became the first commercial flight in 50 years to fly into Havana on August 31, 2016. Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines and United Airlines are approved to deliver passenger flights into Havana. Flights to Havana will only depart from Atlanta, Charlotte, Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Orlando and Tampa. The only way travelers qualify to fly to Cuba is if they plan to visit family, conduct government business, journalism, and jobs for private foundations or attending educational institutions.
