There are a few different theories on what went wrong to the shuttle. NASA believe strongly in one reason, that a simply O-ring let loose. A little more than a half of a second, video recording captured a grey puff of smoke on the right side rocket boaster. The grey smoke indicated that there was not a complete seal of the joint on the rocket. The leaking area of the boaster tank was facing the external tank of the shuttle.
The first crash happened a couple of minutes before 9.00am and the second plane 18 minutes later. By 10.30 the structures of both trade centres had collapsed. At about the same time two other planes were hijacked one was crashed into the pentagon in Washington D.C. The pentagon is the headquarters of the U.S defence department; witch is the agency of the government that controls the military. The fourth plane crashed into an open field in western Pennsylvania.
At the Seattle-Tacoma Airport, in Tacoma, Washington, he released thirty-six passengers and two crew members once his demands were met (Pasternak). After taking off again Cooper ordered the plane to fly at a low altitude towards Mexico. At 8:13pm pressure gauges recorded his jump over the Lewis River from 10,000ft into a thunderstorm with over a hundred mile per hour winds and negative temperatures wearing only a thin suit, wrap-around sunglasses, and a rain coat (Brad Meltzer's Decoded). Many people believe that this was a suicidal jump and that Cooper died that night (Mysterious Disappearances in U.S. History). A reporting error in this high interest case mixed up his name forever immortalizing him as D.B.
* 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.
Many people who were in the towers died that day, but scientists still have not figured out how the towers finally collapsed. They still wonder whether it was a big fire or an unknown chemical reaction in the towers. Christian Simensen, a Norwegian scientist, thinks he knows how the Twin Towers collapsed and it is the best explanation. At a technology congress in San Diego yesterday, he proclaimed the collapse to be a chemical reaction. According to him, the melted aluminum of the airplane dripped through the two skyscrapers and came into contact with hundred liters of water.
NASA shutdown NASA, once the proud space program of the United States, was shut down on July 20, 2011. The program was established on July 29 of 1958 and closed, and closed a little over fifty years after its creation, as a result of the necessary deep budget cuts imposed by congress. During the years that NASA operated, it accomplished many things. Most of the great things invented during the Cold War were motivated by the strive against the Soviet Union. The United States and the Soviet Union – a communist country at the time - competed on the development of weaponry and technological advances.
Was the Air War in World War I an Experiment? Submitted by: Tyler Barnes Course code: CHC 2D Submitted to: Mr.Fuciarelli Due Date: Tuesday, May 21st,2013 Was an airplane ever thought to be an effective weapon in war or was it just an experiment? The airplane could be the most useless part of World War I. As the Allied forces thought it could be a turning point in the war it became known that the airplane resulted in numerous deaths in World War I. At the beginning of the war numerous pilots died even during recon.
She took out five submarines and many planes. Although she sustained heavy damage, after nearly six months of repair in San Francisco, she was ready to fight again. She received orders to go to Tinian, carrying a huge amount of uranium. Uranium is a rare metal that is used in nuclear weapons and bombs. The uranium was for one of the first nuclear bombs, called “Little Boy”, which was to be dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.
After a brief career in the Marine Corps, Oswald was discharged and defected to the Soviet Union, but later returned to the United States and was employed at the Texas School Book Depository at the time of JFK’s assassination. Oswald was present in the Book Depository on November 22, and a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle was found on the sixth floor (Warren Commission, 1964, p.6, 12). The rifle, according to the Warren Commission, is the weapon used to fatally shoot the President and belonged to Lee Harvey Oswald. A Mannlicher-Carcano is a bolt action rifle and requires a minimum of 2.3 seconds to recycle (Warren Commission, 1964, p.
If the Soviets had the rocket power to send a satellite to space what could they do with atom bombs? The space race was on. Panic amplified when the Soviets launched Sputnik 2 on November
