The video on the screen was a clip of something you would see in a movie. A plane went full speed into the upper half of the building and smoke came pouring out of it. It looked as if the plane fit perfectly through the building. As the clip replayed over and over my eyes were tuned on the date “September 11, 2001.” Even though I was so young I could still realize that this would be a day that would go down in history. After a few minutes of watching the same clip, I suddenly saw another plane crashing into the twin of the other building.
Michael Squillacote 9/28/11 Professor Blum Business paper Challenger Shuttle The Challenger space shuttle was set off to launch on January 28th 1987. This turned into a tragic day for NASA and the United States. At 11:38 am Challenger took of from the launch pad. Everything was going smoothly until 73 seconds into the flight the shuttle disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean killing seven astronauts. There are a few different theories on what went wrong to the shuttle.
One of the first things I will argue about is that even though many people believed that the landings on the moon was a hoax because technology back then, in the 70s, were not as advanced as today where we can have clear cut image easily. That being said, this is why there are still some who wants to make accusations because not enough proof were provided. This is where comes in the article called ’’Bad Astronomy’’ by Philip Plait who is an astronomer where he makes an analysis on many of the conspiracy theorists claims and provides them with descriptions that proves them wrong. For example, the conspiracy theorists claims that one should be able to see brighter stars when you are in outer space. In the one of the pictures provided by the NASA which stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration who were also the ones that assigned the mission Apollo 11, no stars could be seen.
Evidence proving that flight MH-17 was taken down by a BUK missile. This fragment shows part of a serial number with a broken 2 and a Cyrillic Ц from the Russian alphabet. Interestingly proof flight MH-17 was brought around a rocket. This is demonstrated by a scientific examination concerning ammunition sections from flotsam and jetsam of the plane, requested by RTL News. Global specialists underwrite the finish of this examination, MH-17 has been brought around a BUK rocket.
The Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle accidents During the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle accidents, there were key factors that contributed to each incident. In the midst of take-off, the Challenger began to leak hot combustible gases, which cause the destruction of the space shuttle. The leak happened between the O-ring and SRB segments and the explosion was inevitable. The Columbia tragedy had begun at launch and reentry. As Columbia Space Shuttle launched, foam insulation came off and damage left wing’s thermal protection system.
* Frederick L. Ashworth flew with Sweeney in Bockscar and was responsible for arming the bomb. * The primary target was the city of Kokura. Nagasaki was the secondary target. * Bockscar’s reserve fuel tank was not pumping fuel correctly so the plane could not make use of the extra 600 gallons. * About 40,000 people died in this mission.
On the 6th of August 1945, the USA dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima. The atomic bomb, "Little Boy", was dropped from Enola Gay. On the first instant, 71,000 vanished immediately on the spot, and later on, another 49,000 died as a result of injuries and radiation. Three days later, on the 9th of August, the USA dropped a second bomb, "Fat Man", on Nagasaki. This time, 40,000 were killed instantly, and another 40,000 due to injuries and radiation.
Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which operated on an instrument flight rules flight plan (National Transportation Safety Board, 1996a). The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the TWA flight 800 accident was an explosion of the center wing fuel tank (CWT), resulting from ignition of the flammable fuel/air mixture in the tank. The source of ignition energy for the explosion could not be determined with certainty, but, of the sources evaluated by the investigation, the most likely was a short circuit outside of the CWT that allowed excessive voltage to enter it through electrical wiring associated with the fuel quantity indication system (National Transportation Safety Board, 1996a). Structural and Mechanical Factors (Two to four paragraphs identifying the structural and mechanical factors involved in this accident.) Contributing Factors Contributing factors to the accident were the design and certification concept that fuel tank explosions could be prevented solely by precluding all ignition sources and the design and
Was the U.S Justified in Bombing Japan? On December 7, 1941 the Japanese fighter pilots attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor(article 1). This surprise attack was done without a declaration of war. Pearl Harbor was hit by two waves of planes. The first wave, consisting of 134 bombers/fighters, was twenty-five minutes long and did much more damage than the second wave of flights.
During the 30’s the British developed a simple radio-controlled UAV called the Queen Bee. It could be landed for future reuse, reaching speeds of 160 km/h. Although instead of using it for offensive actions, it was mostly used for aerial target practice for British pilots. At the time of World War II, the National Socialist Party or Nazi party developed a UAV to be used against nonmilitary targets. The unmanned flying bomb or V-1 was responsible for more than 900 civilian deaths and 35,000 injured civilians.
