Incident management

could not have been part of an aircraft, not part of any kind of weather balloon or experimental balloon… I’ve seen rockets… sent up the White Sands Testing Grounds. It definitely was not part of an aircraft or missile or rocket.” (“1947 Roswell UFO Incident” par. 13). Marcel further described the debris of the investigation as indestructible. As Marcel and many others swear this was the crash site of a UFO, there is also the other half that swear it is the crash site of a weather balloon. The…

outlines the whole community approach to a disaster discovery of intelligence or information regarding an imminent threat to homeland and security. Although, communities have participated in some form of evacuation planning as part of emergency management, not many have been able to conduct a full-scale test that would give them an accurate idea of how it would function in a real-life situation. However, while it has been difficult for evacuation planning, efforts are been made to ensure that…

Many speculate that the incident on August 4th had never occurred and most of the event was due to a faulty chain of communication and command. For instance, Carl Otis Schuster states that: “The string of intelligence mistakes, mistranslations, misinterpretations and faulty decision-making…

After the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) in November of 1963, Lyndon B. Johnson took over as president. Due to the sudden death of JFK, Johnson had inherited many responsibilities and policies of dealing with the growing problem in Vietnam (Young 105). He continued to be involved in South Vietnam because he did not want the U.S to lose their prestige and did not want to show weakness to the Communists. By the mid- 60s, the war in Vietnam began to escalate as more troops were…

the sector. It can also be expressed that the aviation safety, can, to a large extent be affected by the controllable aspects (maintenance, labor). Considering that all the variables in play are influenced by the technological aspects and human management, it is quite explainable. Additionally, it is evident that tangible elements, for instance, the technology used in Air traffic control, maintenance pattern, and design have a significant role to play in matters concerned with aviation safety.…

I got hit with a serious case of déjà vu after reading the Outliers chapter. For a while, I’ve taken interest in watching a documentary series called Air Crash Investigation. Many of the flights described in this chapter had an episode dedicated to their study that I watched several times. After reading the chapter and watching the series, I know that pilots have to be extremely alert when flying an airplane, especially in regard to their word choices. One of the flights described in Outliers,…

Initially Mr. Wilmot decided not to let anyone know what he saw thinking that a sight like that was seen by someone else. He eventually told the officials at the RAAF (Roswell Army Air Field) of what he had seen. Eventually when word spread of the incident, conspiracies where formed about the wreckage. The most famous being that the ship was an alien UFO, and that it had been taken to Area 51, (another government operation surrounded with alien conspiracies). But these conspiracies were not…

leading to the death of an employee. Hence, I was hired as a safety consultant by Cintas Corporation to audit their energy control programs, particularly their lockout/tag out program. I will provide an overview of the corporation and violations/incidents. Then, I will discuss what I gathered from the regulation and during the audit addressing the required procedures of a lockout/tag out program compliant or noncompliant…

Secondly, another deeply credited theory is the belief that Earhart and co-pilot Noonan were ‘Nikumaroro Castaway’s.’ It is speculated both pilots touched down on a remote South Pacific Island called Nikumaroro – now commonly known as Gardner Island. The belief stands that the Electra was running low on fuel implementing fear within the pilots as they began searching for a safe destination to refuel (Howland Island.) Unintentionally, the flight path veered towards the Southwest and they landed…

I. Introduction This investigation focuses on the accident that Korean Air Flight 801 met on August 5, 1997 on Nimitz Hill in Asan, Guam. The fatal accident involves issues on Guam Airport’s differences from other airports and the misguidance of the destination airport’s operations. The pilots did not base their tasks on the airport’s systems, they based it on their knowledge and on what they were used to. The cockpit crew’s incorrect decision, miscalculation, and reliance to wrong information…
