Crash of Continental Connection flight 3407, operated by Colgan Air. It was February the 12th, 2009 when the twin-engine De Havilland Dash-8-402 Q400 crashed in Buffalo New York. I remember seeing it on the news; I was frightened because I was flying in two months to Myrtle Beach on a Q400. After watching air-crash investigations, Stalled In the Sky, I was shocked to find out the cause of the crash. Captain Marvin Renslow, and first officer Rebecca Shaw, are at the controls during this flight.
They had more than 13,000 and 5,800 flight hours respectively and both had more than 2,200 hours in the Boeing 757. The captain was familiar with the route but it was the first officer’s first flight into Cali. Aircraft was scheduled to depart at 1640, but the flight was first delayed by 30 minutes due to a winter storm in the northeast US, to wait for connecting passengers to get on board. However, some passengers missed the connection and did not get on board. Flight 965 left the gate in Miami at 17:14, taxied to runway 27R and waited due to seasonal congestion which caused the flight to take off at 18:35 which was two hours late.
The Great Storm of 1987 occurred on the 15th October in that year, it was the worst storm to reach Britain for over 200 years. The days preceding the storm a depression was developing over the Bay of Biscay, just west of France. This depression was slowly drifting northwards towards the British Isles building up intensity as it went. Weather stations reported that the severe weather would not reach further north than the English Channel, therefore England were not mentally or physically ready to cope with a storm of this magnitude. The impacts of the storm were great, with wind speeds recorded of up to 120mph in Sussex and Kent.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214: Crash Reico Colter SR Herzing University Atlanta Campus What I Have Learned: Asiana Airlines Flight 214 Crash On July 6, 2013 Asiana Flight 214 was headed to San Francisco from Seoul, South Korea and suddenly crash landed on the runway killing three and injuring 180 passengers. This crash landing earlier this month of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco called to mind a dark period in South Korea’s aviation history, when a series of deadly crashes on Korean Air planes led Delta and Air France to suspend the airline from their code-sharing alliance. In response to the Asiana crash landing, whose cause investigators have not yet determined, South Korea’s transport ministry ordered the country’s airlines to beef up safety measures and add training for pilots and crew. According to Alex Davies, Business Insider Investigators looking into the cause of the crash of Asiana Flight 214 at SFO say information from the flight data recorders shows the autopilot and auto-throttles appeared to be working as they were supposed to on final approach to the airport. “The engines and the flight control surfaces appear to be responding as expected to control inputs.
List Objectives for the PR Campaign In order to explain its operations into the overseas market, JetBlue Airlines had to overcome a few stumbling blocks that occurred earlier this year. One major stumbling block occurred when JetBlue cancelled hundreds of flights due to icy conditions and a black log of stranded passengers and flight crews. Jenny Dervin, JetBlue Airlines company spokesman said a decision by JetBlue’s hub, Networks’ John F. Kennedy International Airport, to limit all airlines to two runways was a major stumbling block in the company’s efforts to get back on track. (JetBlue weather woes not yet overcome, CNN.com) David Neelman, Founder and CEO of JetBlue, repeatedly apologized for the wave of cancellations and delays and said, “I think the best thing we can do is say we’re sorry and give them their money back, and give them a free ticket and then kind of plead with them to come and fly again.” Once a passenger has a bad experience with any airline, that passenger will think twice before booking another flight with the same airline. JetBlue needed to devise a new public relations campaign to regain those customers who lost confidence in the flight service and to attract new customers who may be interested in using the new overseas services.

On April the 10th 1912, the titanic set sail from Southampton. She was carrying 2340 people. After the Titanic left Southampton she hit an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean causing the great ship to sink. More than 1300 people died that tragic night. In this essay I will explain how and why the Titanic’s maiden voyage was such a disaster using; speed and distance, reaction to the iceberg, lifeboats and rescue and finally overconfidence.
Of course, the conversation takes time while English is translated to Spanish and vice versa, and only then can everyone make their way back through the plant to their machines; machines that have to warm up for 10-15 minutes before they can begin to operate properly again. Had everyone been able to speak English, what could have been handled in three or four minutes has now taken twenty minutes to resolve. Over time, those parts that are not being manufactured during all the wandering and
Hurricane Sandy destroyed millions of homes, brought a bunch of sand onto the roads, and killed 209 people. Sandy caused $52.4 billion in damages. Another hurricane that has hit the US is Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina caused subsequent floods and caused $81 billion in damaged. Katrina also killed at least 1,833 people in the time that it took to cross most of eastern North America.
