Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen then mixed and ignited, causing the explosion that destroyed the Challenger" (Palmer, Dunford, & Akin, 2009, p. 375). All the astronauts aboard the Challenger perished. Seventeen years later, on February 1, 2003, the Columbia disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana during re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. During lift-off, insulating foam fell from the fuel tank onto the wing, which caused a breach in the fragile tiles that were to protect the shuttle from the heat of reentry. Days later, when the shuttle attempted reentry, the breach allowed heat into the wing, which caused destruction of the craft.
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.
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.

Case Study Analysis Activity Title: Trans World Airline Flight 800 Name: Wee Wai Siong Date: 08 September 2012 Cause(s) of Accident On July 17, 1996, about 2031 eastern daylight time, Trans World Airlines, Inc. (TWA) Flight 800, a Boeing 747-131, N93119, crashed in the Atlantic Ocean near East Moriches, New York. TWA flight 800 was operating under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 as a scheduled international passenger flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York, New York, to Charles DeGaulle International Airport, Paris, France. The flight departed JFK about 2019, with 2 pilots, 2 flight engineers, 14 flight attendants, and 212 passengers on board. All 230 people on board were killed, and the airplane was destroyed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which operated on an instrument flight rules flight plan (National Transportation Safety Board, 1996a).
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine (Achieve3000, October 5, 2012). For years, the story of the Titanic has captured the imagination of people around the world. On April 15, 1912, the Titanic set off on its first voyage. The ship left England and headed for New York City. On the way, the Titanic struck an iceberg.
The incident occurred at an altitude of some 200,000 feet, shortly after reentry and 15 minutes before Columbia had been scheduled to land at Cape Canaveral. TIME science correspondent Jeffrey Kluger explains some of the possible causes and consequences of the accident: TIME.com: What are the possible scenarios that could have caused this disastrous accident on the shuttle's reentry into the Earth's atmosphere? Jeffrey Kluger: There are three possible scenarios that explain this event. The first, which I believe is the likeliest explanation, would be an aerodynamic structural breakup of the shuttle caused by it rolling at the wrong angle. Remember, after reentry, the shuttle is descending without power, which means astronauts at the controls can't compensate for a loss of attitude by using the engines, they can only do so using the flaps.
The main radioactive elements that cause maximum damage to the affected population were iodine-131 and caesium-137. Which iodine-131 is short-lived, caesium-137 has a long life (World Nuclear Association, 2013). The Chernobyl nuclear plant is located in the small township of Chernobyl that had a population of around 12000 in 1986. Very near to Chernobyl is the city of Pripyat that had a population of around 50,000 people. Both these places took the real brunt of the accident and were massively affected.
When i was only 10 years old, my father told me that he just got on the phone and that my uncle was in great danger. At that time my uncle was living in Florida. The tornado that was threatening my uncle’s life in February killed 25 people and nearly 200 buildings were destroyed. Thankfully, my uncle can still talk today about that event.Since then I have been fascinated and I have read and studied my collection of books about tornadoes many times (Hurricanes and Tornadoes by Neil Morris, American Tornado: Devastation, Survival-most violent outbreak of the twentieth century by Mark Levine).I have also seen every documentary on Discovery and have done research on
