The Boeing 787 Dreamliner erupted into traditional and technological boundaries. From the exterior to the fiber optic network, a new standard was set. With the new technology come new unforeseen and predictably devastating problems. The aircraft’s communication and data systems work off the same network raising suspicion for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This onboard network integrating aircraft function and passenger entertainment caused the FAA to provide a special condition…

I stepped off the plane and was hit by southern Vietnam’s hot, humid air. A relative I had just met handed me a water bottle and I drank from it as I scanned my surroundings. Hundreds of motorcycles zipped around the streets, some riding up onto sidewalks blanketed with dust. People lined the streets, stray dogs loped in narrow alleyways, and old men sat on plastic stools, smoking cigarettes and scratching their patchy beards. Looking up, I saw power lines clumped in a jumbled mess. Vietnam’s…

Massachusetts, like every other state, has a process whereby abandoned property is turned over to the state. The origin of unclaimed property dates back to British common law when abandoned land was returned to the king. Today, states apply this concept to all-intangible property and tangible property, other than real estate. States do not take permanent title of the property but instead act as custodians to safeguard it for the rightful owners or their heirs to claim it. Most states do not have…

Reflective Essay This past summer -- 2016 – was beautiful, amazing, fantastic, and I completely loved every second of it. I say this because I did a lot of things in this long vacation like, buy shoes and wallets. Speaking of shoes, I wore yellow Adidas originals when I rode the airplane to do a parachuting activity. Meaning I jumped off a plane, which was really scary. We didn’t even plan to go parachuting, it just happened so suddenly. I hadn’t wanted to go, but I am glad that I did it…

Test #2 Correction Question 2. Diagnosis Phase: When I first read the question, it reminded me of my multivariable calculus first class session where my professor used an example of a plane being landed in windy weather, to teach us a concept of vectors. Initially, I began to picture the scenario of a plane flying under consideration of wind being involved instead of looking at the numbers. Afterward, I drew the free body diagram of how the problem looked as using numbers and direction. Since…

It was assumed to take 4 hours flight from the Dominican Republic to reach New York for a Delta Air Lines; it took almost 30, the Chicago Tribune states. And they weren't a friendly 30 hours, either. "I've never seen an airsick bag used before and many were," one unlucky passenger says that Flight 944 took off Punta Cana on Monday afternoon but had to divert to New Hampshire after huge runway traffic and low fuel stopped it from descending at JFK International, per NBC New York. Things…

Seconds slowly faded to minutes as those minutes crept to hours. Fourteen hours later of sitting in a confined aircraft, I finally reached my paradise. It was a break from the world I needed to escape from. As I strided off that plane, I felt all the layers of my worries peel off and remain behind me. With a recent court case involving work, my dad being hospitalized, and being dumped by my boyfriend over text I needed and escape and here it was. Ten days on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu…

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…

"Cherokee 952, you are cleared to take off on runway 28.” "Roger, we are rolling on runway 28, Cherokee 952.” I always wanted to fly since I was young. When I was seventeen, I got myself into the world of flight. Stepping into aviation needed a lot of preparation, and I spent a long and dedicated year to prepare myself. I applied to a flight school after I immigrated to America; however, I was rejected because of my language ability and physical fitness. In the following year, I worked hard on…
