(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.
Even though Hurricane Hazel had devastating winds, it was not known for that, it was known for its speed. Hurricane Hazel’s speed allowed it to do damage to seven states and parts of Canada. “Hurricane hunter planes found Hazel’s winds to have accelerated to 150 mph, and the storm was moving at an incredible forward speed 30 mph (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hazel)”. Those speeds are very fast moving for hurricanes, especially ones of this size. This shows that this hurricane was much more different and deadly from most hurricanes.
France pushed away in the Dunkirk’s beach. Many troops were trapped between Germany army and the cold waters of the English Channel. The only escape route was by the sea. It was a real danger that the entire British army (300,000 men) would be wiped out. On 27th May 1940, the British government led by Winston Churchill.
Three of the terrorists (Ahmed al-Nami, Saeed al-Ghamdi, and Mohamed Atta) involved in the 9/11 plot attended flight school and lived in Lantana, Florida, just minutes from my home. Floridians feel ashamed and rather at fault for this because two of the three men were marked on a possible terrorist list, but they still slipped through security measures and managed to get flight training. The local community still faces the fact that the pilot of the plane that crashed into the North World Trade Tower learned his flying skills so close to home. The flight instructor who taught this man resigned from her job because she could not bear the thought training someone like that ever again. The actions of this one man have prompted large security reforms in airports across the state, and especially in the qualifications for flight training.
Later Earhart sent another message, "We are running north and south." It was her last. Searches and Theories After spending $4 million dollars and searching 250,000 square feet of Ocean the US Government called off the initial search effort however ever every so often a new search effort will pop up. There are several different theories of what happened. One theory is that the plane crashed into the ocean and sank so deep that no one will find it.
“While being lifted onto an LST, he was almost dropped into the sea, having only been caught by the foot. After laying in the hold with hundreds of other wounded, he finally got a spot on the USS Samaritan.”(Standring Pg.5) Happily, the flag went up on Suribachi, just before Lucas was shipped off to Honolulu. Lucas went under the knife twenty two times before the doctors were finished. “Surprisingly, there are about 200 pieces of scrap iron still in him, some the size of .22-caliber bullets, which to this day, constantly set off airport metal detectors.”(Carpenter Pg.1) After close to seven months, Lucas was in good enough shape to be separated and put up for the Medal of Honor. At the time, the young man did not even know what it was, claimed “I went there to do one thing, and that was to
This instance is quietly the same with Marie Rossi’s case, Lt. Kara Hultgreen- the first woman flied F-14 fighter died in October 1994 because of loss of control when she crashed into the sea. In this point, the idea is not strong enough because it is much more about the individual, not collective. In fact, every people are stressed at wars, so the way he gave examples and idea is not convincing for the women
“We are 157-337 running north and south. Wait listening on 6210.” That was the last America heard of Amelia Earhart, their treasured aviatrix. It was in the dawning hours at about 8:45 am that the frantic and shrill voice was transmitted to the Itasca Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC). Completing the last leg of her around-the-world journey, Amelia is thought to have vanished somewhere in the center of the Pacific Ocean, the only thing that stood between her and her astonishing accomplishment of traveling around the world. Panic and tragedy surged in upon all those who had heard of the famous woman pilot, and almost immediately, search and rescue groups were sent in hopes of finding Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan.

Lord of the Flies has many meanings to it which are defined through the characters involved in the story and their actions.

Finally, the fourth plane crashed into a field in the rural area of Pennsylvania around 10:03 A.M. (911 timeline). After all these terrorists attacks on the United States this country was affected in so many ways. The effects of September 11, 2001, now known today as 9/11, were the loss of lives, the economic consequences and the security at the airports. The loss of innocent lives during 9/11 was
