Water landing

In the Unlikely Event of a Water landing Tragedies such as murder and rape are thought to be horrendous crimes; acts so violent and malicious that the perpetrators must spend their lives in prison to pay their dues, but these crimes occur so often they rarely make headlines anymore. Every once in a while a big “story” will hit the news and the masses will cry out in outrage but even then the outrage dies down and the victims are forgotten. Many times there are witnesses to these crimes that do not act. In the third chapter, “In the Unlikely Event of a Water Landing”, of Lauren Slater’s book Opening Skinner’s Box she references such a murder, that of Catherine Genovese. Miss Genovese’s death received the typical four lines in the newspaper and was quickly forgotten. Had it not been for A. M. Rosenhal the country may never have been changed by the knowledge that the vicious crime against Catherine Genovese was witnessed by not one or two people but by Thirty eight. These thirty eight people did nothing to stop the murder and rape of Catherine Genovese. According to Slater, John Darley, and Bibb Latane these thirty eight witnesses did nothing because of the bystander effect. This chapter of Slater’s book…

“In the Unlikely Event of a Water Landing” Two young psychologists, John Darley and Bibb Latane, put together two well thought out experiments to rationalize the response time of individuals in groups. After reading about the brutal attack of Catherine Genovese in New York in 1964, which ultimately lead to her death, the two men were on a mission to figure out why nobody helped. Even with the witnesses being awakened by her screams, they chose to do nothing about it until it was too late. After…

On Friday, May 25, 1979, American Airlines Flight 191 took off from Chicago-O’Hare International Airport on a routine trip to Los Angeles International Airport. Just 30 seconds into flight, the airplane, a McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 aircraft, began to stall, which resulted in a nose dive and the aircraft crashed into an open field just 4600 feet northwest of the end of the runway. Weather conditions on the day of the flight were clear, with visibility reported up to 15 miles. The investigation into…

incident resulted in the complete destruction of Air Cal 336 resulting in 34 injuries, 4 of them very serious. From the beginning of the scenario there is already evident internal noise that affects both pilots as the landing plane was Air Cal 336 and the plane taking off was Air Cal 931. This similarity would most definitely have caused uncertainty amongst them as it would’ve been unclear who the air traffic controller was addressing whilst sending out their instructions. The two air craft had…

Describe The Action Allied forces landed on Gallipoli on the morning of April 25th but a combination of unexpectedly hostile terrain and fierce Turkish defense soon stopped any potential advance and the campaign degenerated into the familiar deadlock of trench warfare. In the Gulf of Saros to the north of Gallipoli, the Royal Naval Division carried out an unsuccessful diversionary attack aimed at convincing the Turks that the main attack was to be there.
