RANCHO CORDOVA, California (CNN) - The investigation into the
fiery crash of an Emery cargo jet that killed all three crew members is
focused on a shift in the plane's load shortly after it took off from
Sacramento, California. The DC-8 plunged into a nearby auction yard of
wrecked cars, leaving a quarter-mile-long trail of burning debris.
Authorities said the pilot of Emery Worldwide
Flight 17 reported that the jet's cargo shifted
shortly after takeoff Wednesday evening.
The plane, its balance disrupted, tried to return
to Mather Field for an emergency landing.
Instead, it crashed in a fireball about a mile
east of the airport just before 8 p.m.
There were no reported injuries on the
ground.
'No chance of rescue'
One witness said the plane hit the ground belly
first and was immediately surrounded by fire.
Nobody on the ground was injured.
The plane, bound for Dayton, Ohio, carried
three crew members: the pilot, first captain
and a flight engineer, all believed to be Emery
employees, said company spokesman James
Allen.
The crew members, whose identities were not
immediately released, were dead by the time
fire crews arrived, said Capt. Dan Haverty,
from the American River Fire Department in
Rancho Cordova, California, a suburb of
Sacramento.
"There was no chance of rescue," he said.
Firefighters were hampered by intense flames, which burned for several
hours after the crash. Smoke was visible in the moonlit night several miles
away.
At least 100 cars set afire
The plane's cargo included clothing, transmission fluid and a small amount of
fuses -- 9 grams, or about a third of an ounce -- used to activate automobile
air bags, Allen said.
The crash at the Insurance Auto Auctions salvage yard set between 100 to
200 cars on fire, many with gas in their tanks, causing several explosions.
Debris cut a swath about 250 yards wide and a quarter mile long.
Firefighters worked into the night extinguishing scattered flames. Debris from
the plane, including a 15-foot-long piece of the fuselage and a wheel
assembly, was found scattered among the wrecked cars. j
Dozens of vehicles were crumpled.
Pilot reports balance problem
The flight took off at 7:50 p.m. and the pilot immediately called back to the
airfield's departure control and told them he had a severe problem with the
balance of the aircraft, said Jim Whitehead, manager of the Federal Aviation
Administration's regional operations center in Los Angeles.
The plane hit the ground "in a ball of
Although the flight was scheduled to depart from JFK Airport at about 7:00 p.m., it was delayed due to a disabled piece of ground equipment and concerns about a suspected passenger mismatch with baggage. The airplane took off at 8:18 p.m., shortly at 8:25 p.m., Boston air route traffic control center (ARTCC) instructed the pilots to climb and maintain an altitude of 19,000 feet and then lower down to 15,000 feet. However, at 8:26 p.m., Boston ARTCC amended TWA flight 800's altitude clearance, advising the pilots to maintain an altitude of 13,000 feet. At 8:29 p.m., the captain stated, "Look at that crazy fuel flow indicator there on number four... see that?" One minute later Boston ARTCC advised them to climb and maintain 15,000 feet to which the pilot replied: “Climb thrust”. After an extremely loud and quick sound, the cockpit voice recorder stopped recording at 8:31 p.m. At that moment, the crew of an Eastwind Airlines Boeing 737 flying nearby reported an explosion in the sky. TWA Flight 800 aircraft had broken up and crashed into the sea, 8 miles south of East Moriches, killing all on board. (1,2)
The Colgan Air Flight 3407 was a very interesting case to look at. On February 12, 2009, at 10:17 pm, flight 3407 crashed at a house in New York after the pilots experience a stall. Flight 3407 was scheduled to fly from Newark, New Jersey to Buffalo, New York. The NTSB reported the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) revealed some discrepancies both pilots were experience. The first officer did not have any experience with icing condition but icing was one of the reasons the plane went into a stall. On the other hand, the captain had some experience flying in icing condition. The captain was experiencing fatigue, which indeed, made him unfit to recover from a stall. With that in mind, the Human Factor Analysis Classification System (HFACS) will give insight of some errors both pilots made.
Not all people can be rich. According to the article “The Treadmill of Consumption”, Robert says that “Life is a game. Money is how we keep score”. That is what some people think about real life, and that is wrong, because real life isn’t a game. It is a world where you need to work and earn your money to buy things you need. Not everyone can have a big house and many cars. Everyone is different and have different jobs and salaries. Somebody is born rich, and they easily get money from their parents, but others work hard to get the place where they are now and the money that they are earning. People never know who works hard and get it easy, but in any way they want to be like them. Moreover, people forget what they have, and they just want more. In the article “All That Glitters Is Not Gold”, it says that everyone should be equal. It is true that being equal would be an easy solution for people. Most of the people earn enough money to live good and simple lives, but that is not enough for them. They look at rich people and forget about themselves. Maybe, the money that they have is plenty for them, and they don’t need to be

The Failure of the De Havilland Comet Aircraft Following World War II and the jet engine technology that emerged largely toward its end, aerospace engineers knew well that the technology had great potential for use in the commercial aviation industry. The Comet was the first aircraft to utilize jet propulsion; however, its designers failed to consider the metallurgy of the aircraft’s materials under flight conditions or the consequences of their atypical window design. The aircraft was designed by Britain’s De Havilland Aircraft Company and entered service in May 1952. After a year of service, however, the design issues mentioned above resulted in the failure of several Comet aircraft. Extensive evaluations revealed that repeated pressurization

Women were perceived as either being a housewife, a nurturer, or a person for company. They did not have the right to vote till later on, work, and if they had an opinion that a male do not agree with, women are considered “wicked”; not savvy, not prudent but wicked to the core. It is unfair, unethical, atrocious, but through it all there was one female who dared to challenge the mind of men and the notion that women can be more than what men perceive them as being. Her name is Margaret Fuller. The goals of Margaret Fuller were precise. Men should realize that women are not an epitome of a statue but human beings, just as men, women can achieve full adulthood and citizenship, but most vitally Margaret aimed to change the assumptions about
Not everything that is expensive is better. Rich people can get everything they want, but middle class people need to think if they need it, or they can find the same thing cheaper. Most people try to find cheaper things, but some buy expensive things, because they think that it will help them to feel that they are rich. First, people buy those expensive things, and after that they are in debt. Expensive things need a lot of money, but people don’t have them, so they use credit cards to buy for that. According to the article “All that glitters is not gold” says that auto exhibition 32% of attendees bought a car and 56% of attendees reported they were going to buy a car in the near future. It shows that that people don’t have money, but they saw that other people bought the car, and they want it also. My parents just last week bought a new car, because our old one broke. My dad said that everyone has big, and new cars, so we need to buy a costly car like other people have. I thought that it was a stupid idea to look at expensive car, but anyway he found a good car, nor costly, nor cheap car. It is middle cost, and it is a wonderful car. Running after expansive things people forget to look of prices. They forget that they will need to pay for that thing for many years after they buy

JetBlue Airways is a corporation that mainly focuses on low-cost transportation service. It is one of the major airlines predominant in the domestic airline industry. The impact of September 2001 on aviation has drastically decreased and all the major airlines had lost in huge amounts. This made almost all the major airlines to increase their debts by tapping the credit lines or taking care by issuing bonds. Despite of all the vital actions made to survive the decline of passengers’ ratio and fares, most of the airlines strained with huge debts. JetBlue being a low-cost transportation service didn’t had much effects during 2001 and was making huge amount of profits even during 2001 and afterwards. With its exceptional service, not only it attracts customers but also has ability to change and evolve. Today, some of the major air travels face the bankruptcy and also lost some of their market for the low-cost airline industries.
