    Mid-Air Crash of PSA Flight 182 and Its Impacts on US Aviation

    On September 25, 1978, I was a 16-year-old inspiring young pilot going to high school within 10 miles of San Diego’s Lindbergh International Airport. It was about nine a.m. and clear skies when I noticed a large towering black cloud of smoke to the northwest. Minutes later, our High School Teacher informed us that two planes just collided over downtown San Diego. Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) flight 182, a Boeing 727-214 carrying 135 passengers collided with a Cessna 172 with two on board crashed 3 miles northeast of Lindbergh field over the San Diego community of North Park.

    Timothy Mcveigh: Oklahoma City Bombing

    Murrah building collapse. “Carl Spengler [was] a third-year resident in emergency medicine, Spengler was just blocks from the Murrah Building on the morning of the bombing, ‘We went to breakfast, and we were just sitting there talking, and all of the sudden it felt like the building about got knocked over. A man, seconds after the bombing went off, opened the door and said, ‘I think the Federal Building just collapsed. ‘So i got up, and by the time I got to the door, debris was landing in the street. So we drove four, five, six blocks, but we couldn’t go any farther because there was so much debris in the street. I was standing looking half of this building gone, and I kept thinking I was going to see hundreds of people in the building screaming and hollering. Except for one car alarm going off, and the fire burning in the parking lot next to it, you could hear the birds singing. It was absolutely that quiet’ “ (McRoberts). Without a doubt McVeigh made people think on impact. When the building exploded many people did not think, they decided to be courteous and pull people out and try to save the living before they died. McVeigh impacted many people, some of those people were not in the building when it collapsed, but they were in it after. “Don Hull [who] has spent 14 years a hostage negotiator with the Oklahoma City Police Department. But on the morning of the Murrah Building, Hull found himself performing and entirely different task: trying to find life in the rubble. ‘You’d be going along, and then you’d see a body part kind of sticking out of a pile of stuff. You’d dig that person out. They weren’t alive you’d feel this dripping, like water was dripping on you but it wasn’t water. My worst nightmare to this day: my daughter was 3 at the time, and I remember going through the rubble and I found a hand. Just a hand. And it was- it fit in the palm of my…

    9/11 - the Conspiracy

    The day of September 11th, 2001 the world witnessed with disbelief as the World Trade Center in New York City came crashing down. The shock the attacks generated and the some 3,000 or more people it killed made it one of the brutal attacks in history. One may only wonder how such a grand scaled attack could be carried through. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the September 11th attacks in 2001 were an inside job and the statements of the Bush administration following them were a fabricated truth that many people believed. Unfortunately the tragic event has scarred the lives of many people globally and changed the course of the near future.[1]…
