Plane Wreck at Los Gatos I went to the Common Experience event featuring Tim Z. Hernandez. He told the story of what happened with the plane wreck at Los Gatos Canyon. 32 people were killed from this plane accident. Out of the 32, 28 were Mexicans who were working to provide for their families back home. Tim learned the stories of those who were killed in this tragic accident aby talking to some of the families of those that were on the plane. I wasn’t going to go to this Common Experience…

Any one landing in New York City from the LaGuardia Airport, is going to find themselves at East Elmhurst. They will be greeted by single family homes who front lawns are decorated with green grass patches, it is quite the opposite image one would expect to see when landing in New York City. They might be taken aback when they realize they are seeing the Manhattan skyline at a distance from where they are standing, in East Elmhurst. While the skyline views are breathtaking, so is the…

through the Chicago airport but Chicago’s airport was closed due to weather. We didn’t take off til around 5 P.M. Kellan thought he was so facetious making fun of us “That sucks that you have to wait, we will beat you there now”. He said laughing. That wasn’t all the hecticness of traveling that day, When we arrived in Chicago we had missed our connecting flight to Miami, and the next flight available wasn’t until five A.M. So my…

Gregorio Luperon International Airport, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Every time, I visited this airport many thoughts came to mind, I asked to my-self; when would I fly for the first time? and where would I go?

Since, I was a child I love to observe people walking around the airport pulling their…

In Plane Sight: An Observational Analysis of Behaviour at the Airport I undertook two non-participant observations at Wellington airport over a period of two weeks. The intention was to observe the behaviour and customs people exhibited when they were not in an environment that was customary and potentially unsettling. I had also expected to take notice of things I hadn’t perceived before as when you are part of the crowd, it’s often harder to take notice of the behaviours and interactions of…

From the isolated communities in Alaska to the remote regions of Nepal, aids-dependent villages in Africa to the magnificent airports in the Middle East and the emerging fascinating concepts of Aerotropolis; the airport’s role in today’s society is as essential as it is luxurious. It is fast dropping the typical definition of transporting people from point A to B but bringing life to areas where other means of transportation have proved inexistent or insufficient, exposing the potential of…

Barriers Apple is in a unique situation where things that might be a barrier to most company’s actually increase Apple’s desirability. However, there are two things that could potentially be a barrier to Apple succeeding in the iTV arena. First, the avenues available to people to purchase Apple products are traditionally somewhat limited. The iPad/iPhone/iPod have been available in non-traditional Apple retailers like Walmart/Target, however, MacBooks and other higher end Apple products…

Film Analysis Jarett Lopez HIS 413-001 Spring 2018 Question Responses 1. When filming, and producing, Triumph of the Will, Leni Riefenstahl took great care in assuring that the camera angles were as wide as possible. The opening shot of the movie sets that tone, with the plane descending into Germany, with wide shots of the countryside as it makes its descent. These wide angles are mostly maintained throughout the film, as if the party were trying to convey its immensity to the German people,…
