In a Harvard study along with gazette it states that Harry was a real person on the Titanic and was one of the first class passengers who died. His mother was also on the Titanic but thankfully got away safely on lifeboat #4. On a different note, an interesting fact within the book reflects how some trimmers stayed down in the boiler room to make sure that the Titanic still had power while it was sinking. As I researched the article ¨The Engineers Lost Aboard Titanic,” it was able to provide me the most information about the Titanic. That website says that most of the Titanic’s crew members had died because they wanted to make sure the Titanic had enough power for it’s lights to stay on so other ships could see it with it’s lights on and other workers want to make the passengers feel as comfortable as they could.…
Armor and weaponry The U.S.S. Monitor was armed with two eleven inch Dahlgren smoothbores located in a 20 foot in diameter iron turret that could spin 360 degrees. The turret, which was covered in eight inches of iron plates was rotated by a vertical shaft that was connected to a 25 horsepower steam engine through a gear system. The rotation of the turret was controlled by one man under the deck. Over all the turret was nine feet high and weighed 120 tons.…

Candidate Paden, despite struggling with the conduct of his order, was able to fairly effectively lead his fire team during the execution. In the order, SNC provided minimal detail throughout making it difficult for this fire team to efficiently accomplish the mission. Once Candidate Paden began executing the obstacles he was able to make timely and appropriate decisions, although he did not have a plan initially. When he received a penalty while trying to move through the obstacle, his fire team was able to continue working independently. Immediately on return from the penalty, SNC provided new direction on how to accomplish the mission which re-motivated his fellow fire team members.…
My evolution I choose to do is evolution number 1 of the NFPA 1410 engine drill. This drill is about a forward lay using one engine and a supply line to the hydrant about 300’ with an attack and back up line. The flow is 300 GPM and the time is 3 mins to complete. The objective of this training is a house fire and the first in engine has to hit the hydrant about 300’ from the house and get the attack line and a backup line off the engine with the engineer giving water to the nozzleman.…
Candidate Hoyer gave in depth direction on what he wanted security to do and while briefing he had the fire team maintain 360 degrees of security. SNC forgot to brief the last two paragraphs of the fire paragraph order. Throughout the execution part of the mission SNC had security check in every 60 seconds and had every member repeat that the area was secure. SNC's initial plan was to use the shorter plank to get from the whiteboard to the bridge which worked throughout the problem. SNC didn't rely on suggestion from other fire team members and he continued to give directions to keep his fire team moving towards mission accomplishment.…
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Many of the fire safety laws that we now know are settled by the triangular shirtwaist factory fire event. Few industrial disasters occurred before the triangular shirtwaist factory fire, but this is an important event that had an impact on raising awareness of safety. “This is because the triangle shirtwaist factory fire killed 146 workers and led to developing occupational health and safety measures, fire prevention efforts and the state-based workers compensation system” (Greenwald 1).…
Candidate McNeely was confident in briefing his five paragraph order and provided his team with accurate information. Additionally, SNC provided a clear mission statement to his fire team members with all the key elements. During execution, SNC was effective in directing his fire team, indicated by constant hand and arm signals and constant eye contact during the forward movement of the fire team. Additionally, SNC quickly assessed the problem and changed formations in order to ensure his fire team momentum was sustained. SNC was eventually able to place himself in a position that would allow him to view his fire team.…

One of the principle William uses is that the topic is an everyday subject. The poem, much like most imagist poems, is talking about something that is in everyday life. One can draw that Williams is talking about a fire truck in his poem with words like, “....fire truck moving tense unheeded... (6-9)” The fire truck is something in one's life that would not come as a surprise if one ever saw it.…

Ever since I saw the movie “Titanic” when I was seven years old I’ve always been interested in the Titanic and how such a tragedy could have happened to a ship that was supposedly unsinkable. IV. (Preview Statement) I would like to inform you about the Titanic, her reputation of being the safest ship ever built because she was apparently unsinkable. Next, I will discuss how the…
