I sat in my seat silently as I watched the clouds bounce pass the small airplane window. I sighed in relief as I heard the pilot finally announce that we were landing in the John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City. The whole atmosphere was so new to me. I finally got of the crowded plane and grabbed my bags from the baggage claim and made my way outside. I saw plenty of people looking my way, and It made me oddly nervous, especially after what I heard about the city. I…
1) For this assignment, I watched the first episode of Narcos, a Netflix series based on Pablo Escobar, the drug tycoon of Colombia, with the sound turned off. In the first ten minutes, I could see a plane flying over the capital city Bogota. Three telephone tappers were trying to get connected with a phone call of a drug lord. They were wearing casual dress. They were constantly moving their headphones which was likely to show that they were not able to hear the conversation properly. They…
The most important factor that caused the derailment of the train is, when Lac-Megantic was testing its mandatory hand brakes test, the hand brakes and air brakes were left together, so during the test, the freight train were held by the hand brakes and air brakes, which gave the impression that the train was held only by the hand brakes, so the engineer and the rail traffic controller thought that the train was secure. Before the accident, the locomotive was reviewed by MMA’s repair shop eight…

“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we will be departing shortly.” I find myself clutching my seat's armrests as the plane begins to move down the runway. I await the turbulence signaling the plane’s flight, my eyes glued to the window on my left, witnessing the ground getting further and further away. The thrill finally comes, the adrenaline coursing through my body as the plane takes off into the sky, and soon my surroundings are nothing but clouds, pure…

The biggest problem with these type of planes are that they are too big and too slow. Which made it easier for the enemy fighter jets to take them down. The germans came…
