At Los Angeles International Airport, a horrible accident by a continental DC-10 took place On March 1, 1978. According to some continental airlines experts the reason behind the accident was “two tires burst on the left landing gear”1. Despite the efforts of the captain to stop the plane, it was too late to control a plan that ran off the ramp with at 85 miles per hour. As a result “The landing gear broke through the tarmac, burrowed into the ground, and was ripped from the wing, making a 3.7 foot hole which allowed fuel to pour from the wing fuel tanks. The plane was severely damaged by the resulting fire and rendered unrepeatable”2.…
This paper reviews the tragic mid-air crash of PSA flight 182 and Cessna N7711G a Cessna 172 over San Diego and its resulting FAA rules and regulation changes, and their affect on the U.S. aviation industry. PSA Flight 182’s mid-air resulted in the most sweeping FAA changes to airspace to date. The FAA rules and regulation changes was a success in preventing similar mid-airs of this type.…

He was only flying a six person, single engine plane. How could a guy fail at flying a plane that small, magically fly a Boeing 757 one month later? The man also pulled off a maneuver in the 757 before he hit the tower that is known as “nearly impossible” by many experienced pilots. In a few of the videos, you can also see something on the bottom of the plane, which is usually only seen on government planes. As the planes nose, touched the tower, you could see a small flash like a detonator had gone off. Before the towers had started collapsing, bystanders reported they heard “explosions” going off. Experts say the way the building collapsed is nearly impossible without controlled demolition. Scientist have taken many samples of the dust and observed them under a microscope. They found many particles of explosive…
As the airplanes crashed one by one into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon footage revealed that the Pentagon crash may not have been a plane. Even if it was an airplane how come the air squadron’s near the White House scramble to shoot the plane down before it could hit the pentagon. Fine, even if the fighters were not assembled the question remains is that how did the novice pilot manage to crash into the building straight without damaging any of the surroundings such as the lawn. Not too much of the debris of the aircraft is visible clearly not the engines and wings which also did not have any supposed effect…

While climbing to the new altitude the airspeed dropped from 203 knots to 160 knots while they were climbing to forty one thousand feet from thirty seven thousand feet. The airspeed of 160 is very close to the stalling speed of the aircraft. Around this stalling speed the captain told the first officer that they will be coming down in a second and then stated that this thing will not hold altitude. The engines started to spool down and the stick shaker and stick pusher were activated three times in a ten second interval. The airplane then entered an aerodynamic stall. Once the stall occurred a left rolling motion began which eventually ended up in an eighty two degree left wing down configuration. At this time both of the engines actually flamed out. The captain declared an emergency at this time but only admitted to one of the engines failing, not both of them.…
