notably, the automated guidance system was particularly active on this flight due to record high wind shears experienced by the shuttle, yet continued to be very effective. At 58.788 seconds after launch, flame appeared at the same location on the starboard SRB’s AFJ as the smoke had at launch. This flame continued to spread to the external tank (ET) connection ring, then to the ET itself. It breached the ET, which housed liquid hydrogen (LH2) and liquid oxygen (LO2) fuel for the shuttle’s main engines

Every writer has their own writing style; for example, Herman Melville’s style can be explained using complex diction, lengthy syntax, repeated ideas, description and characterization. First off, Melville can use simple words like, “cautiously,” “animation,” and “excited,” (Melville 3&4) but he mainly uses complex words such as, “countenance,” “inarticulate,” and “convulsively” (3&4). Furthermore, Melville seems to be very fond of using long sentences such as, Receiving the topmaul from Starbuck

This legendary ship was known to be unsinkable, until April 15 1912. It is commonly believed that this “unsinkable” ship hit an iceberg that night and sank in the northern atlantic. But how is this possible? On a night with perfect weather and prior warning about the dangers of ice ahead? Maybe this isn't what happened

the canoe move a bit to the portside when you do this. When starting from a stop, the turning of the canoe will be more exaggerated, as will be the return swing from the "J," but once the canoe's underway and moving well, the swings from port to starboard and back will become less noticeable and the canoe will be moving more smoothly. Some canoeists, rather than giving that little push at the end of the J-stroke, will just hold the paddle in the water with the blade turned, giving a rudder effect

The Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria and the Swedish American ship Stockholm collided on the night of July 25th, 1956. Prior to their collision, a study in 1948 had been done, on the busyness of the New York harbor, and it recommended that ships traveling east go 20 miles south of the Nantucket lightship. Had these ships heeded this advice a collision might never have occurred. The Andrea Doria, captained by Piero Calamai, was headed towards New York harbor with 1,134 passengers on board. On this

The Titanic - History of a Disaster On April 14,1912 a great ship called the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage. That night there were many warnings of icebergs from other ships. There seems to be a conflict on whether or not the warnings reached the bridge. We may never know the answer to this question. The greatest tragedy of all may be that there were not enough lifeboats for everyone on board. According to Walter Lord, author of The Night Lives On, the Titanic could have been saved in the very
