Flight 1549, piloted by Chesley Sullenberger, made an emergency landing in the Hudson River after bird strikes disabled both engines shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport. All 155 passengers and crew onboard survived the successful water landing and were rescued by nearby ferries. The pilot's actions in gliding the plane to a landing site with no runway have been hailed as one of the most technically challenging feats in commercial aviation history. Investigations later found that the Airbus A320 is designed with features to aid water landings, such as a "ditching button" to seal openings and slow flooding.

The pilots encountered heavy icing conditions while flying a Baron aircraft that was not certified for known icing. As ice accumulated, the aircraft lost altitude and performance. During an instrument approach in icy conditions with zero visibility, the aircraft stalled and crashed in a cornfield shortly before reaching the runway. The pilot in command was killed on impact while the other pilot survived but suffered severe burns over 65% of his body. After a long recovery process, the surviving pilot was eventually able to return to aviation by taking a job in aircraft parts at an FBO, rekindling his passion for flying.

Top 10 ways your pilot might kill you
This document provides a summary of 10 ways pilots could potentially kill passengers by making mistakes. They include not de-icing wings before takeoff, forgetting to deploy necessary equipment for takeoff like flaps and slats, crashing into another plane due to failures of air traffic control systems, getting distracted from flying duties like checking a light bulb, and blowing various stages of the landing process by descending below safe minimums or ignoring critical warnings. The examples illustrate how even experienced pilots are capable of errors with catastrophic outcomes and underscore the importance of safety procedures and oversight.

Though showered with world-wide praise and treated to a hero's hometown welcome,
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger offered a businesslike account of the swift and
dazzling actions that saved the 155 people aboard US Airways Flight 1549. "I know I
can speak for the entire crew when I tell you we were simply doing the job we were
trained to do," he said Saturday in Danville, Calif. Indeed, it wasn't the first time the US
Airways pilots had confronted double-engine failure or prepared for a ditching. Nor was
it the first time that flight attendants had thrown open emergency doors, inflated rafts
and herded passengers out of an Airbus cabin in seconds. But it was the first time they
had done all that when actual lives were at stake. Their previous experiences were all
part of the rigorous training pilots and flight attendants undergo.
In emergencies, airplane crews typically revert to their training, aviation experts say,
and a close look at the training at US Airways Group Inc. and other airlines shows how
well-prepared the experienced crew of Flight 1549 was for their crash into the Hudson
River on January 15.
Air-crew training has grown far more sophisticated. At US Airways, annual training for
flight attendants has shifted in recent years from classroom teaching to more hands-on
practice evacuations in full-size Airbus cabin simulators because research has shown
the importance of practice drills. "Now over 80% of the day is in simulators evacuating
aircraft, with very little time spent in the classroom," says Bob Hemphill, the airline's
director of in-flight training.
US Airways gives newly hired flight attendants five weeks of training, from an
introduction to the aviation industry to procedures for opening each type of door on each
type of aircraft they'll fly. The airline has a full-size Airbus cabin simulator in both its
Phoenix and Charlotte training facilities, plus "door trainers" for its Boeing airplanes, so
flight attendants can practice opening emergency exits under tough conditions (total
darkness, billowing smoke) and evacuating cabins. In both cities, initial training includes
jumping into a pool and practicing opening a life raft, helping people in and out of the
raft, putting up the canopy and using the raft's sea anchor and medical kit.
After the initial training, federal law requires annual classroom safety training for flight
attendants and hands-on performance drills every 24 months. Three days before the
crash of Flight 1549, the FAA proposed increasing that requirement to hands-on drills
every 12 months. US Airways has flight attendants undergo two days of recurrent
training every year -- one day of home study and one day at the training center to
practice emergency procedures and measure proficiency. That includes opening doors
after first checking for .

US Airways Flight 1549 (Sully) A-3.docx
1) On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 struck a flock of birds shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport, damaging both engines. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger was forced to land the Airbus A320 in the Hudson River, saving all 155 lives onboard.
2) An investigation by the NTSB initially suggested pilot error, as simulations showed the plane may have been able to land at nearby airports. However, when simulations included human factors like stress and decision time, they ended in crashes.
3) Further analysis confirmed the bird strike severely damaged the engines, validating Sullenberger's emergency water landing and cementing his status as a hero.

Research assignment
The document summarizes the events of US Airways Flight 1549, which made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York City on January 15, 2009 after striking a flock of birds during takeoff, losing power in both engines. It describes how the pilots, Captain Chesley Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles, immediately took control of the plane and declared an emergency once the birds were struck. Despite efforts to restart the engines, the plane had become a glider that the pilots had to land within 3 minutes. The document outlines the pilots' decision to land in the Hudson River rather than attempting to reach airports due to safety concerns over populated areas.
Aircraft Accident Investigation on American Airline 587 crash
American Airlines Flight 587 crashed shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on November 12, 2001, killing all 260 people aboard and 5 people on the ground. The National Transportation Safety Board determined the cause was the first officer's overuse of the rudder controls in an attempt to counter wake turbulence from a Japan Airlines 747 that had taken off minutes earlier from the same runway. This caused excessive stress that led to the separation of the vertical stabilizer, causing the plane to lose control and crash. The crash reignited a dispute between American Airlines and Airbus regarding responsibility, as the A300 rudder controls were more sensitive than other aircraft. The investigation report ultimately found the crash was due to human
Are Private Jets Safe?
This document discusses the safety of private jets. It notes that while private jets can access more airports than commercial airlines, they have also seen more fatal crashes since 2000, often due to human error. One example described is a 2013 crash caused by pilots who were overworked and failed to properly land the plane. The document argues that private jet safety depends highly on the operator's standards for pilot training and pay, maintenance practices, and overall safety culture. Operators cutting costs on these areas can compromise safety.
Aircraft Hijacked
Turkish Airlines Flight 1754 was hijacked in January 2011 by a passenger suffering from mental illness. The man claimed to have a bomb and demanded the plane return to Norway, but two passengers were able to subdue him. The plane safely landed in Istanbul as scheduled. The hijacker, Cuma Yasar, was mentally ill and used a fake bomb made from a transistor radio to hijack the flight from Oslo to Istanbul. Airport operations in Istanbul were not disrupted.
Helios 522 Hand Out
The Helios Airways Flight 522 crashed in Greece, killing all 121 people on board, due to loss of cabin pressurization caused by a pressurization control valve being left in the "Manual" position after maintenance. As the plane ascended, the cabin failed to pressurize, knocking out the pilots and crew from hypoxia. A flight attendant attempted to regain control but crashed as the plane lost power from lack of fuel. The crash was the result of a maintenance error and crew's failure to recognize the pressurization problem.
United Flight 93
The document provides details about United Flight 93 which was hijacked as part of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It describes the hijackers, timeline of events including passenger phone calls revealing the hijacking, and passenger revolt that ultimately caused the plane to crash in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all 40 passengers and crew. It also outlines the design of the Flight 93 National Memorial built at the crash site to honor those who died.
Flash airlines flight 604
Flight 604 from Flash Airlines crashed into the Red Sea shortly after takeoff from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, killing all 154 people on board. The Egyptian investigation found technical failures led to pilot disorientation, while the NTSB concluded no airplane failures occurred and the crash was due to the captain's spatial disorientation and the first officer's failure to take control. Investigators from different countries disagreed on the probable cause due to the complexity of the accident.

Adapted from Crash Courses for the Crew
Wall Street Journal
By SCOTT MCCARTNEY
Though showered with world-wide praise and treated to a hero's hometown welcome,
Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger offered a businesslike account of the swift and
dazzling actions that saved the 155 people aboard US Airways Flight 1549. "I know I
can speak for the entire crew when I tell you we were simply doing the job we were
trained to do," he said Saturday in Danville, Calif. Indeed, it wasn't the first time the US
Airways pilots had confronted double-engine failure or prepared for a ditching. Nor was
it the first time that flight attendants had thrown open emergency doors, inflated rafts
and herded passengers out of an Airbus cabin in seconds. But it was the first time they
had done all that when actual lives were at stake. Their previous experiences were all
part of the rigorous training pilots and flight attendants undergo.
In emergencies, airplane crews typically revert to their training, aviation experts say,
and a close look at the training at US Airways Group Inc. and other airlines shows how
well-prepared the experienced crew of Flight 1549 was for their crash into the Hudson
River on January 15.
Air-crew training has grown far more sophisticated. At US Airways, annual training for
flight attendants has shifted in recent years from classroom teaching to more hands-on
practice evacuations in full-size Airbus cabin simulators because research has shown
the importance of practice drills. "Now over 80% of the day is in simulators evacuating
aircraft, with very little time spent in the classroom," says Bob Hemphill, the airline's
director of in-flight training.
US Airways gives newly hired flight attendants five weeks of training, from an
introduction to the aviation industry to procedures for opening each type of door on each
type of aircraft they'll fly. The airline has a full-size Airbus cabin simulator in both its
Phoenix and Charlotte training facilities, plus "door trainers" for its Boeing airplanes, so
flight attendants can practice opening emergency exits under tough conditions (total
darkness, billowing smoke) and evacuating cabins. In both cities, initial training includes
jumping into a pool and practicing opening a life raft, helping people in and out of the
raft, putting up the canopy and using the raft's sea anchor and medical kit.
After the initial training, federal law requires annual classroom safety training for flight
attendants and hands-on performance drills every 24 months. Three days before the
crash of Flight 1549, the FAA proposed increasing that requirement to hands-on drills
every 12 months. US Airways has flight attendants undergo two days of recurrent
training every year -- one day of home study and one day at the training center to
practice emergency procedures and measure proficiency. That includes opening doors
after first checking for .
US Airways Flight 1549 (Sully) A-3.docx
1) On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 struck a flock of birds shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport, damaging both engines. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger was forced to land the Airbus A320 in the Hudson River, saving all 155 lives onboard.
2) An investigation by the NTSB initially suggested pilot error, as simulations showed the plane may have been able to land at nearby airports. However, when simulations included human factors like stress and decision time, they ended in crashes.
3) Further analysis confirmed the bird strike severely damaged the engines, validating Sullenberger's emergency water landing and cementing his status as a hero.

Trouble in the air is very rare. It is hitting the ground that causes it.
Research assignment
The document summarizes the events of US Airways Flight 1549, which made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York City on January 15, 2009 after striking a flock of birds during takeoff, losing power in both engines. It describes how the pilots, Captain Chesley Sullenberger and First Officer Jeffrey Skiles, immediately took control of the plane and declared an emergency once the birds were struck. Despite efforts to restart the engines, the plane had become a glider that the pilots had to land within 3 minutes. The document outlines the pilots' decision to land in the Hudson River rather than attempting to reach airports due to safety concerns over populated areas.
Aircraft Accident Investigation on American Airline 587 crash
American Airlines Flight 587 crashed shortly after takeoff from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on November 12, 2001, killing all 260 people aboard and 5 people on the ground. The National Transportation Safety Board determined the cause was the first officer's overuse of the rudder controls in an attempt to counter wake turbulence from a Japan Airlines 747 that had taken off minutes earlier from the same runway. This caused excessive stress that led to the separation of the vertical stabilizer, causing the plane to lose control and crash. The crash reignited a dispute between American Airlines and Airbus regarding responsibility, as the A300 rudder controls were more sensitive than other aircraft. The investigation report ultimately found the crash was due to human
Are Private Jets Safe?
This document discusses the safety of private jets. It notes that while private jets can access more airports than commercial airlines, they have also seen more fatal crashes since 2000, often due to human error. One example described is a 2013 crash caused by pilots who were overworked and failed to properly land the plane. The document argues that private jet safety depends highly on the operator's standards for pilot training and pay, maintenance practices, and overall safety culture. Operators cutting costs on these areas can compromise safety.
Aircraft Hijacked
Turkish Airlines Flight 1754 was hijacked in January 2011 by a passenger suffering from mental illness. The man claimed to have a bomb and demanded the plane return to Norway, but two passengers were able to subdue him. The plane safely landed in Istanbul as scheduled. The hijacker, Cuma Yasar, was mentally ill and used a fake bomb made from a transistor radio to hijack the flight from Oslo to Istanbul. Airport operations in Istanbul were not disrupted.
Helios 522 Hand Out
The Helios Airways Flight 522 crashed in Greece, killing all 121 people on board, due to loss of cabin pressurization caused by a pressurization control valve being left in the "Manual" position after maintenance. As the plane ascended, the cabin failed to pressurize, knocking out the pilots and crew from hypoxia. A flight attendant attempted to regain control but crashed as the plane lost power from lack of fuel. The crash was the result of a maintenance error and crew's failure to recognize the pressurization problem.
United Flight 93
The document provides details about United Flight 93 which was hijacked as part of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It describes the hijackers, timeline of events including passenger phone calls revealing the hijacking, and passenger revolt that ultimately caused the plane to crash in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, killing all 40 passengers and crew. It also outlines the design of the Flight 93 National Memorial built at the crash site to honor those who died.
Flash airlines flight 604
Flight 604 from Flash Airlines crashed into the Red Sea shortly after takeoff from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, killing all 154 people on board. The Egyptian investigation found technical failures led to pilot disorientation, while the NTSB concluded no airplane failures occurred and the crash was due to the captain's spatial disorientation and the first officer's failure to take control. Investigators from different countries disagreed on the probable cause due to the complexity of the accident.
Brand failure- Pan American Airline
Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) was a major international airline from the 1920s to the 1990s that was renowned for innovations but suffered a fatal loss of public trust. At its peak in the 1960s-70s, Pan Am carried over 6 million passengers annually to many countries. However, a series of hijackings and bombings in the 1970s-80s eroded confidence. The 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people over Lockerbie, Scotland, destroyed the remaining trust in the airline's security. Despite Pan Am's efforts, people refused to fly with them and the company declared bankruptcy in 1991 after years of declining business following the Lockerbie disaster.

The loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is similar to the unsolved loss of Pan American World Airways Flight 7 while flying from San Francisco to Hawaii in 1957.
Presentation 9 11
On September 11, 2001, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked 4 commercial planes and crashed 2 planes into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, 1 plane into the Pentagon building near Washington D.C., and a 4th plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which were orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist organization al-Qaeda. The attacks triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of George W. Bush.
Bermuda Triangle3
The document discusses the Bermuda Triangle, a region of the Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It notes that Vincent Gaddis coined the term "Bermuda Triangle" in 1965. The most famous disappearance was Flight 19, where five U.S. Navy bombers vanished on December 5, 1945 off the coast of Florida during a training mission. Various hypotheses have been proposed for the disappearances, including underwater methane eruptions interfering with plane navigation. The document reviews some of the more notable disappearances reported in the Bermuda Triangle area over the years.

Van Gogh
The document is a summary of the song "Starry, Starry Night" by Don McLean, which tells the story of painter Vincent Van Gogh. It describes Van Gogh's life and work, including his struggles with mental illness and the darkness in his soul. It discusses how he found solace in painting landscapes with vivid colors and how he ultimately took his own life, though his love for his art remained true.
Tired
The author has been feeling tired and listing various potential reasons like temperature changes, lack of sex, and pollution. However, the author discovered the real reason is that in their country of 27 million people, only two people - the author and the reader - are left working due to many others being retired, in school, unemployed, hospitalized, imprisoned or public servants. This leaves the author tired from having to do all the work.
Themagiccateye
An illusionist cat claims it can perform magic and read minds through a computer screen. It instructs the reader to secretly choose one of six playing cards without clicking or touching, then stare into its eyes to concentrate. Though unable to see the card, the cat professes to know exactly which was selected and claims it has disappeared, surprising the reader. It encourages sharing the message to astonish others.
Thebirds Sex[1]
The document discusses different ways to determine the sex of birds. It notes that the author previously thought it required surgery or extensive observation by experts to tell males and females apart. However, it states that determining the sex of birds can actually be done through examining physical traits like feathers, beak size and shape, and without extensive experience. It then prompts the reader to look at images of two birds on the next page to identify which is the female based on visual cues.
The Aurora Borealis
The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are caused by interactions between the Earth's magnetic field and particles from the Sun. When solar storms eject electrons and protons from the Sun's surface, they travel through space and enter the Earth's atmosphere near the magnetic poles. There, the particles excite oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the atmosphere, causing them to glow in colorful patterns of light in the sky. The location and size of the light displays depend on the level of activity on the Sun's surface. During periods of high solar activity, the auroral oval expands and the Northern Lights can be seen further from the poles.
Such A Beatiful Story1
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
Sothisis Xmas1
Celine Dion sings about Christmas and the new year. She hopes this Christmas is fun, merry, and happy for those near and dear, young and old.

The answers purportedly reveal priorities
Sams Story
Sam was a koala who was rescued from devastating bushfires by volunteer firefighter David Tree. Sam suffered second and third degree burns on her paws but received treatment and bandages at a wildlife shelter. At the shelter, Sam met another koala named Bob who was also injured in the fires. Sam and Bob formed a bond during their recovery and are seen hugging and comforting each other, giving hope that they will both survive.
Paradox Times
The document discusses modern paradoxes where while people have more material possessions and knowledge, they have less of other important things. It notes that today people have bigger homes but smaller families. They have more education but less common sense. There are more experts but more problems. The document suggests people should treat every day as special and spend more time with family and friends enjoying life's moments rather than just moments of survival. It encourages readers to erase phrases like "later" and "not now" and to tell loved ones how much they care for them each day.
Old America
The document is a collection of photographs from the United States spanning 1908 to 1943. It includes images of young coal miners and hinny drivers in Virginia from 1908. Other photos show blacksmiths from 1910, young miners in Alabama and Pennsylvania from 1910-1911, and miners from Kentucky in 1935. Additional miscellaneous historic photographs show scenes such as car accidents from 1912, beauty pageants from the 1920s, families during the Great Depression in 1936, and rationing during World War II in 1943.
Nostalgicemails
This document reminds the reader to enable sounds on their mouse before proceeding, and states that a true friend is always there when needed. It then discusses receiving nostalgic emails with photos and music, but this message is intended to be different. It wishes the reader a fantastic day.
New Mera
The document contains instructions to switch something on and off multiple times, ending with a surprise. It tells the reader to switch on, have a nice day, switch off, and then switch on again with a surprise at the end.
Mystery Spain1
A 12th century cathedral in Salamanca, Spain contains a small carving in the masonry that amazes all who see it - a 20th century astronaut. The document asks how this could have come to be carved by a 12th century stonemason and invites the reader to suggest an explanation.
Message 1[1]
An extraterrestrial disguised as an email introduces itself as coming from the Orion constellation. It claims to be having sexual intercourse with the reader's eyeballs and seeing them smile and laugh, indicating they had an orgasm. The message asks the reader to pass it along to a neighbor as the extraterrestrial is still excited.
Mantra
This short reading contains advice from the Dalai Lama for living a meaningful life in 2008. It shares several maxims related to respecting oneself and others, taking responsibility for one's actions, learning from mistakes, cherishing relationships, and finding balance. The document encourages sharing the message to experience improvements in one's life and receive pleasant surprises.
Lunch On The Skyscraper

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
