Air Florida flight 90

January 13 1982 Air Florida flight 90 is departing to Hollywood from Washington. There are a total of 74 passengers and 5 crew. The captain is Larry M Wheaton and first officer Roger Apettit. Once the passengers boarded, the plane the airport had to be closed because there was snow storm. But after the storm the snow had gone away. The snow was piled up in the planes path so a push back truck had to pull the plane back.

It had to be de-iced so it got de-iced and pulled up on the runway. Soon it started to snow and the plane was reaching take off speed. As it lifted off it was feeling like a normal take off, then the stall warning came. The pilots were confused, then they saw the 14th street bridge, they tried to pull up but it was too late the plane struck the bridge and crashed into the Potomac River.

Some of the people in the cars jump in the river to save the passengers. Ambulances and fire trucks and coast Guard people go to the site and help. Soon it is clear that 5 survived, they were seated in the back. Investigators found out that the cause was improper de-icing. In conclusion all planes should be de-iced properly before take-off.

A road trip to remember

Image
This is my story of my family's first road trip in US we planned in just 2 days, covering 4 National Parks and 5 states where we will be travelling a total distance of 2200 miles in 8 days. Our trip to India we had planned all summer was cancelled at the very last moment, due to some visa issues. All our bags were packed and the mood in the house was gloomy to put it mildly. My father was planning to go extreme on the road trip. His idea of the road trip was to travel the breadth of America from West to East, starting from Seattle in Washington to Boston in  Massachusetts. To put it into perspective that would mean a distance of 3,045 miles one way and then back. That would be just 6 days one way drive even if we drove like 500 miles per day with my younger brother who is just 4 years old. Thankfully some sense got into him, and we decided to abandon the plan. So, what actually ended up happening was a more planned trip, where we covered 250 miles per day and enjoyed the  rest of t

A Visit to Palm springs

It was early in the morning, and I woke up to the sound of my mom's footsteps going to the kitchen. I tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't because I was too excited to go to Palm Springs, California. We had already packed our bags the night before and our uncle was coming to drop us off to the airport, where we will be meeting our friends and fly together. It was the middle of December and departures were all backed up, like the Wall Street had just closed for the trading day.  After 40 minutes we arrived a SeaTac international airport and I hugged my uncle, and we went into the Alaska airlines section. The SeaTac airport is spread in an area of 2500 acres and has 3 runways. The airport entered service in 1949 and is owned by port of Seattle.  There we checked in for our flight and we waited for our other friend's family to come. Once they arrived, they checked in and we all went to security check and then we went on a tram to the N gates, our gate was n11. Once

My Trip To Seaside

Image
It was the summer break, and no summer is complete without a trip to the beach. It was pretty last minute, but we managed to book a lovely Hotel room with a view of the sea, and this is the story of my trip. Hope you enjoy reading this. It was a nice sunny morning on August 2, and I was super excited to go to Seaside!!!, So we packed our bags and had some breakfast and left for our first stop  The Astoria Column . It was a total 3 hours drive. As we were crossing through SeaTac my brother and I saw four Alaska Airlines and two Deltas as well as a Southwest . The Deltas were a a330 neo and a 737 and the Southwest and Alaska planes were just 737s. After a few hours later we entered Oregon through this super cool and long bridge, and I saw some long container ships.                                                                                   Few minutes later we pulled into the Astoria Column it was so tall and had some historical pictures on it. After purchasing a $1 wooden airpla
