T he Hindenburg Disaster occurred 79 years ago today. On May 6,1937 in Lakehurst, New Jersey the world’s largest aircraft ever built caught fire and burned to the ground in seconds. The Hindenburg was a zeppelin aircraft. Zeppelins were made of helium but for some odd reason the Hindenburg was made of hydrogen, a very flammable gas. The Hindenburg was over eight-hundred feet long and carried over 2656 people across the Atlantic between Germany and New York and Rio de Janerio before the…

Introduction Anyone who has flown in the months following the attacks of 9/11 to present is very familiar with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The officers in the blue shirts can be seen everywhere in airports across the United States. They are supposed to be a symbol of safety, security and reassurance for passengers.

They read the news over and over again, looking for something that would give them hope, something that would calm the frenetic beating of their hearts. But the more they read, the more information corroborating the news surfaced. P-189 was flying enemy grounds when it was blasted from the air.…

This is my reflection on the 9-11 events. On September 11th, 2001 a plane crashed into the one of the two twin towers. Soon after another plane did the same to the other. The Pentagon was destroyed, a field in Philadelphia was pointlessly burned, and when they thought it couldn’t get any worse, the two buildings collapsed. Power was suddenly off in downtown Massachutes and the world trade center was destroyed. It was a sad and tragic event. It seemed to really have no really good reason to…
