Chris Tierney, a spider-man stunt double for the Broadway musical, “Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark”, was critically injured due to a rigging accident during one of the shows’ performances. The show includes many technical rigging elements that are a risk to everyone involved and has had more than one accident since the run of the show began. According to ABC News, there has been six delayed openings and five injured cast members (including Tierney) since the run of the show began. . Tierney’s accident could have easily been fatal. During a performance, Tierney was supposed to be rescuing his partner but instead of doing that, he fell 30 feet off of a ledge. There are many different claims as to whether or not the problem came as human error or due to a wire snapping but I believe the two came together to form the accident that had occurred. …show more content…

Instead, coming up with ways to prevent this from occurring ever again came more clearly. The first step is knowing the crew. By knowing the crew, I mean by only having professionals that have a long history with working with equipment like this (example: circuses) involved in the show. Along with that, the equipment must be checked before every run of every show. When it is being checked, it must have more than one set of eyes making sure that everything is perfectly okay. Now during the show, more than one person should be involved in every stunt. I am not sure if during the show of Spider-man, more than one person was working on that stunt, but both persons should make sure that things like the tether and harness on placed onto the body properly and in the safest possible. I also believe that actors should be trained on having some sort of knowledge on rigging, especially in a show like this. By doing this, actors can feel secure with not only a working professionals’ judgement, but their judgement as

    CTE is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which has not been found in football players until recently. It was stated in the episode, “Repetitive brain trauma starts this cascade of events in the brain that changes the way tau [protein] looks and behaves. It goes awry, it starts destroying the integrity of the brain cells.” Doctor Omalu’s discovery was the first hard evidence which proved playing football could cause permanent damage. This finding was not well received by the NFL and Omalu was met with attacks by the MTBI committee and the NFL as a whole.

    If someone had previous knowledge of a crime, are they just as guilty for not reporting that a crime was going to happen as the person(s) that actually perpetrated the crime? This question was a major point of discussion and the major driver of the plot in the book Monster by Walter Dean Myers. In this book, 16 year old Steve Harmon is being tried for felony murder for participating in a robbery perpetrated by James King, Bobo Evans, and Osvaldo Cruz that ended in the death a Alguinaldo Nesbitt. Although the jury found Harmon innocent in the end, the readers still learn that Steve knew that a robbery was going to happen. Also, scattered throughout the book were bits of evidence that alluded to Steve’s involvement in the robbery. Therefore,

    Nat Turner's belief that he was a mystic, born for some great purpose; a spiritual savior, chosen to lead Black slaves to freedom, justified his bloody rebellion against slave owners in Virginia. His actions did not so much spring from the fact that members of his family had been beaten, separated or sold, but rather from his own deep sense of freedom spoken in the Bible. From the time Nat Turner was four-years-old, he had been recognized as intelligent, able to understand beyond his years. He continued to search for religious truth and began to have visions or signs of being called by God. By the time Nat Turner reached manhood, the path his life would take was clear; his destiny would be to bring his fellow slaves out of bondage.

    In the favela of São Paulo, Brazil, 1958, Carolina Maria de Jesus rewrote the words of a famous poet, “In this era it is necessary to say: ‘Cry, child. Life is bitter,’” (de Jesus 27). Her sentiments reflected the cruel truth of the favelas, the location where the city’s impoverished inhabited small shacks. Because of housing developments, poor families were pushed to the outskirts of the city into shanty towns. Within the favelas, the infant mortality rate was high, there was no indoor plumbing or electricity, drug lords were governing forces, drug addiction was rampant, and people were starving to death. Child of the Dark, a diary written by Carolina Maria de Jesus from 1955 to 1960, provides a unique view from inside Brazil’s favelas, discussing the perceptions of good

  • Football Injuries In American Football

    578 Words  | 2 Pages

    American football or rugby is a sport where injuries are considered to be common. It is not written in your article but I am assuming that in rugby, if a player does not have a minor injury then it is considered that he hasn’t given his best in the game. But the injuries sometimes get too major such as that of Tony Dorsett. He got struck on his neck by a helmet which barreled into him like a Ferrari at 220kmph. Players like Tony Dorsett are injured almost everyday in rugby. These injuries are sometimes long lasting and a perfect example can be of Mr. Dorsett’s CTE. “CTE is caused by the regular thwack-thwack of the player’s head on his helmet.” It obviously must have hurt him a lot and also maybe destroyed his promising and bright career in this game.

Preoccupation with a malfunction of the nose landing gear position indicating system distracted the crew's attention from the instruments and allowed the descent to go unnoticed.
