Flight 383 Case Study
The crash of the American Airlines Boeing 727-123 Flight 383
The crash of Flight 383 on 8th November, 1965 has been one of the worst airplane related tragedies in the United States. Fifty eight people died in this mishap.

The aircraft descended faster than protocol dictated, something thing that neither pilot on the flight noticed.

The Race Relations Act of Britain
The middle of the twentieth century saw the rise of liberalism and racial equality. There were vast amounts of changes people's mindsets and many reforms were also made during this time.
