Feel safe to fly

Here are my thoughts fly safe feeling.

What are your memories of air travel, a frequently asked question is "Is it safe to fly?" It is a question that many have already been mentioned. Despite the recent terrorist attacks and the historic landing of the Hudson River, there are only a few incidents that end in disaster.

Have taken place long before the events of 2001, you have to wonder how safe is flying. These fears were exacerbated by all, so many new rules and regulations and controls that we have to endure before boarding. But records show the success of security, and this year will increase from year to year.

The biggest threat to the sense of security is probably the result of the press event. Although the crash of Flight 1549 early 2009 was a story to come, whether it is worthwhile week of stories, is questionable.

These stories of heroism, but to celebrate the actions and also the seed of doubt in people with fear of flying. If you have several of been made as the plane hit birds, or how well the hull of the vessel was in the armed forces landing on the water, perhaps the fear of man, may have decreased.

But this is not the case of aviation disasters. It is always about guilt and negatives of the disaster. Whether it is safer in the air and on the ground most of the time of your life, seem to be submitted first, if a serious accident. And then offer the new deal.

The question: "Is it safe to fly, we should remember that most people flying the plane crashed anxiety than ever before in history.

Hudson River - Emergency Landings

Here are some facts on the Hudson River emergency landings.

Like most, when I saw the photos and images on television in the United States. Airways Flight 1549, driving in the Hudson River, on Friday the 15th January 2009, my thoughts were Wow! Is not that amazing! The bodies involved in the landing of aircraft or water bounce rate and resolution. We have read and heard all the superlatives in newspapers and on television throughout the world. Many documents, said that "in the story," The next day, our local newspaper has a photo from the wreckage of the aircraft and with it the event was beginning to fall in history.

Big events do not change the future!

Overcoming my desk, my eye this amazing picture in the paper yesterday (which is ready for recycling), but I was a great event, that was correct. All major disasters like 9 / 11 of effect and the cause of thousands a huge explosion, reaction, and thus the life changes, like a big stone into the water. The event is important that the spraying is enormous, and the waves on a lot to do for a time, but in the end die, and the water is calm, which total in the world for a while and does not change very much in the image of people. Unfortunately, with all due respect to those who have suffered and still do, that is true. Over time, this event in our memory and eventually lose our descendants do not read on this subject is human nature.

Uniqueness

A special feature is an event that results in a change to the status quo for ever, "things can not go back, what the whey, the future can be the result of this action now."

A special feature is a time greater than the event itself - Flight 1549 had 155 people on board, if all parties involved (the ground crew, airport staff, families and friends), the amount that a few thousand points. N person killed was the skill of the pilot, co-pilot and all the participants utilized. Said that all the Wow! Great! Well done! The world in the event of disasters was the case in a minute ... but the effect Sullenberger if the commander turned his board co-pilot and said, "we have" is enormous! This is evident in the years and decades. Unlike a large button on a large stone (9 / 11) what the effect of a good start stones exactly at a right angle in the water at this time. It skimmed the water, foam and phrases over and over again, when before 15 January 2009, all driver calls in his heart, if you are in this situation surely die. Today, every pilot knows, if ever in this situation - can not survive! It was!

Bill Gates said that the plane was the first in the world of the web to the second, for each pilot, in any part of the world, Saturday and participated in every sense, a desk, a clearly negative positive, one can, that is a fact!

This event is always subject to change if a driver is in this position is that the master Sullenberger heart, they now have a model, and react accordingly. Each time a further success of the landing on the water is skimmed a stone again.

Nobody can (the water with the landing of aircraft), for the first time again, always assuming that this column can only Sullenberger Chesley captain and flight attendants.
It is not the story in motion - in any case! That is changing, the future!

Hudson River Air Crash



My thoughts on the Hudson River Air crash.

Others climbed the ruins of a helicopter of the dark Hudson River, Sunday, with the help of sonar and the police to find the integrated plan has been overwritten with him. Nine people died in an accident, air, and seven bodies were removed from the water.

National Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman Debbie Hersman said Sunday in a press conference that the two bodies were found.

Researchers are also looking for photos and video of the incident on Saturday, which was thousands of enjoying a beautiful summer's day.

Nine people - three members of a family in Pennsylvania, a private plane, five Italians and a driver for the New Jersey helicopters towers of freedom - died Saturday in a collision, the city of the worst air accident since 2001, accident Air Queens, the 265 people killed.

A victim is a man Italian celebrates its 25th The wedding, said a family friend. His wife was gone, but his 16-year-old son was also in the helicopter.

Sunday morning, divers back into the body stuffed in the hull of the wreck of a helicopter, two law enforcement told the Associated Press. Officials in talks with the condition of anonymity, since all the bodies were not found or identified.

A U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Crane twisted remains of the device is 30 feet of water.

The police of New York City, said a sonar found the rest of the area north of the site, the helicopter accident in water Hoboken. Other aircraft were in the rest of the river about 50 meters under water.

National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Debbie Hersman said the pilot of a helicopter approaching the helicopter in flight and tried to warn his fellow pilots. The helicopter ordered by radio and said: "You have a plan behind it, but there is no response from the pilots, Hersman said.

The driver for the right to air the clip helicopters and two planes to leave and fell into the river, he says.

The two aircraft were part of the south of the river, where a U. S. Airways plane landed safely seven months ago. But this incident was under Bloomberg, "unsurvivable."

The strong currents of the river and low visibility hampered the acquisition of assets.

"The past and history are very strong in the Hudson River, in the darkest, Hoboken Police Captain Anthony Romano said. The floor of the river, in the field of waste and wastewater from other cruise ships for decades, that research more difficult, he added.

Hersman said I did not know if the black boxes or other audio recordings of two aircraft. The size of the aircraft are not required to operate such equipment.

He expressed the hope that investigators will find photos and videos from an accident, helping to determine what happened to them. Some pictures appeared in the media, at least one that shows the moment of impact.

The helicopter, helicopter, freedom, the name of the driver in the crash: Jeremy Clarke, of Lanoka Harbor, NJ

Betty Mallory, Clarke, ex-mother-in-law, says that his training in Long Beach, California, and was very capable driver.

"I flew with him, shortly after his license," he said. 'It is very competent, very safe driver. I would not have a flight with him. "

The pilot of the plane was 60 years, Steven Altman, of Ambler, PA, the two officials with law enforcement told the AP. Even on the plane was 49-year-old Daniel Altman, of Dresher, Pa., and his 16-year-old son, Douglas, said officials.

The five tourists were in Bologna, Italy, in the region. The two officials, as Michael Norell, 51, whose son Philip Norell, 16; Gallazzi Fabio, 49, his wife, Tiziana Pedroni, 44, and his son James Gallazzi 15th

"The trip was a donation of one of the sisters Norell to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their marriage," Leporati John, a family friend Norell, told the AP by telephone. "This anniversary is already over, but the holidays in August and, on the left."

The Italian group plans to travel from New York to Florida and Cancun, Mexico, but decided to return to Italy, officials said, and the rule of law must be preserved.

The accident occurred in a busy corridor of the general aviation industry on the river, where the drivers are generally free to choose their own path, if they are 1000 meters away and not too close to the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

The upper side of the river is often full of boats, which amounts to a vision of the Statue of Liberty.

Saturday incident is yet another incident, the pitcher New York Yankees Cory Lidl and flight instructor, death, when their plane has proposed a skyscraper by a road People's Party for tourism in 2006.

In January, the river became the scene of a spectacular landing of U. S. Airways after a theft at the initial stage of LaGuardia Airport in Queens, beaten by a flock of birds and the loss of power in both engines. The plane landed in the river, and all 155 people on board were from the security.

The NTSB expressed concern that the authority of the federal government for the safety of the helicopter is not sufficiently high. The Federal Aviation Administration failed to apply more than a dozen NTSB recommendations to improve the safety of the tower is to sign up for flight operations.

A report by the U. S. Department of Transport, the inspector general in recent months has shown that 109 people died in accidents linked to the demand for flights in the years 2007 and 2008, then, that nobody was killed in a commercial airline accidents.

The plane, a Piper PA-32, was in the company of Fort Washington, PA is the address of a property company, under the direction of Steven Altman.

Two were police vehicles in the large brothels, where they lived and Steven Altman to block reporters.

Freedom guided excursions around the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Manhattan, the cost of $ 130 to $ 1000.

Two years ago, a helicopter from 500 meters away from the freedom of the sky fell, during a holiday. The driver was credited with landing of helicopters for safety on the Hudson Bay and the support for the evacuation of its seven passengers.

In 1997, a section of the rotor of a helicopter of a building, the views of Manhattan, could force a landing. No one was injured.
