Airport

Because of risky flight conditions, a plane heading from Atlanta, Georgia to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in July, 2008 almost crashed during its landing. For many passengers, including seven year old Blake Hoffmaster and his family, the experience was traumatizing. Hoffmaster, now a freshman in high school, recalls the event, remembering that the plane was flying through a thunderstorm, and the first signs of a problem was turbulence, then the plane dropped 400 feet in two seconds when…

happening, I was flying to Hong Kong! A normal person would sleep on the 16 hour flight from New York to Hong Kong, but I was far to fidgety to sleep. I stayed awake the entire flight from take-off to landing. We arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport ahead of schedule at 4:30 p.m., as we had a good tailwind nearly the entire flight, cutting the ride to 14 hours. Hong…

Major airline companies such as United Airlines are constantly looking for new ways in which they can reach organizational goals and still maintain cost reduction. The notion of outsourcing allows companies to more effectively achieve these goals by shifting some of the day to day activities to a third party vendor. There are various reasons why an airline might result to outsourcing but regardless of the reason this can cost workers their lively hood as well as possibly compromise the safety of…

airplane as soon as I saw bloody dead bodies lying down on the dry, cracking floor from my clear glass window. From its appearance, the country seemed deserted, looking as if it was abandoned for the past hundred years. As I continued my walk in the airport, waiting for my administration work to be finished, I looked out the big glass window, observing local citizens who are suffering from the deserted environment, malnutrition, deaths, poverty, depression. Contrasting to the fresh, natural air…

Doug Brigham, the pilot, lost control of the flight. According to a final accident report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Brigham intended to depart on a scheduled repositioning flight from a Helipad behind Brigham’s home to an airport located 25 nautical miles southwest.

but I will try. I feel like the sun came out, but again I am feeling sad, remembering my Dad and Lual. I begin to cry, but then I remember my Mama is finally coming to America to live with us. Our family will be complete. Before we left for the airport I spoke to Ganwar. It’s been 1 year since I arrived and I have made so many friends. I made Ganwar feel better about living here. He always says he saw the the bright side because of me . “Now I have so many friends! Because of you I got the…

The first thing I remember is I am finally free. When I first came to America from Korea, it was the longest flight. Knowing that I would fall in love with this new country, I would never leave. I am nine years old in the airport, mesmerized by all of the shiny billboard and mega- televisions. I hear people speaking, but I do not understand.

As I exited the plane, I had come to the realization that I was about to accomplish a task that I had prepared for a year now. I was going to accomplish something that millions of people had done before me. My mom patted me on the shoulder to comfort me and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll do fine.” However, I was difficult to be comforted. I was doing my Bar Mitzvah, after all. We were exhausted after the nineteen-hour flight, so we immediately rushed into the hotel and collapsed on the bed. The…
