A reporting error in this high interest case mixed up his name forever immortalizing him as D.B. Cooper (Mysterious Disappearances in U.S. History). The skyjacking of Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 was the perfect crime in theory, whether or not Cooper survived is a different story. The Federal Berea of Investigation was immediately put on this case to find and arrest D.B. Cooper.
(History.com) Later on in the 1900 hundreds, there were several more reports of ships being hit by what was said to be a freak wave or rogue wave. One of the most famous ships to get hit by a rogue wave was the Queen Mary. In 1942 while carrying 15,000 American troops 608 nautical miles (700 mi/1,126 km) from Scotland during a gale, RMS Queen Mary was broadsided by a 92-foot (28 m) wave and nearly capsized. Queen Mary listed briefly about 52 degrees before the ship slowly righted herself. (live science.com) One of the most memorable rogue wave occurrences was on October 30, 1991.
Residents were without power for up to six months after the storm rolled through. Andrew also caused a great deal of damage to offshore oil facilities as it approached a second landfall in Louisiana, where it caused another one billion dollars in damage. In total, the damage caused by Andrew in both South Florida and Louisiana totaled twenty six billion dollars, the most costly natural disaster in United States history. The social impacts on South Florida were tremendous. You have to take into consideration that before Hurricane Andrew, there was about a generation of South Florida residents who had not experienced a hurricane.
Also I don’t understand why the captain of the ship would keep the ship running if he knew that the repaired boiler still had some damage to it. Also the Sultana did not have emergency boats like the Titanic had which meant that most of the surviving passengers used doors and parts of the ship. Even though the Press had covered the Sultana disaster underneath stacks of reports about the Civil War history books should at least talk about the Sultana. But they do not, which seems puzzling considering the magnitude of this
“Until my ghastly tale is told, this heart within me burns.”; a quote from Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the famous, longest major poem called The Rime of the Ancient Mariner which tells a story about Albatross. Midway Island, also known as Pihemanu, is an island in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean and located more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent where Albatross live and breed. Midway Atoll was used to be “Albatross’ paradise”, but now, it is a graveyard for them. Do you know why they die so easily? We can find numerous bottle caps, wires, metal or non-biodegradable plastics or materials, lighters or even a toothbrush inside their stomach – undigested; especially inside the Albatross’ babies.
The Bermuda Triangle Mystery The Bermuda Triangle is a strange and mysterious region in the South West Atlantic, where people, ships, boats, and air craft flying over it have presumably been sucked into its stormy waters and/or disappeared. The apexes of this triangle have been widely disputed but generally thought to be Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico; this area covers about 500000 miles. One may ask how could a ship possibly disappear, but somehow many ships have. In 1918, a navy ship called the U.S.S Cyclops went missing along with 309 crew members. No one knows for sure what happened, but people have speculated that the captain was rather eccentric, and that the crew had a disagreements, which later, was settled before the ship vanished.
But there is also a darker side to it, even darker than the crime itself. The Cooper theft led to a new world where hijacking is possible. In just a few short years, taking control of airplanes filled with hostages became too regular an occurrence. I don’t think we can pin that trend entirely on Cooper, but his crime did take a lot of trust out of the people, they once had toward air travel. FBI files states on November 24, 1971 shortly after take off from Seattle, Washington, a man in seat 18c of Northwest Orient Airlines handed the flight attendant a note that started one of the most famous causes in FBI history.
It took more then an hour for them to respond. The U.S. government claims the FFA did not report NORAD about the hijacked planes the 3rd out of the 4th hijacked airplanes crashed, this claim would indicate that the FAA repeatedly lied to the U.S. government agencies. In my opinion I think conspiracy is proven true. However, others believe that planes didn’t make the twin towers collapse, bombs did. This conspiracy exists because many say when The World Trade Center collapsed, appeared to be similar to a controlled
The first wave, consisting of 134 bombers/fighters, was twenty-five minutes long and did much more damage than the second wave of flights. Overall, the Japanese only lost 29 planes. On the other hand, Pearl Harbor was “the worst naval disaster in U.S history”(article 7). The United States lost more than two thousand casualties, dozens of aircrafts, and 21 ships either damaged or completely destroyed (article 7). The purpose of this attack was to disable the United States fleet making
At this moment the tower became puzzled; even if the compasses were not working, the crew should have been able to fly west by following the sun. But the 5 navy aircraft never returned to base. Even their traces could not be found till to date. Similarly there are hundreds of aircrafts and ships so far lost in Bermuda triangle .Here is pertinent to discuss , few major recorded incidents occurring in Bermuda triangle includes: INCIDENTS * The USS
