Captain Chesley Sullenberger successfully ditched US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River after bird strikes disabled both engines shortly after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport. All 155 passengers and crew onboard survived the emergency water landing and were rescued from the partly submerged aircraft by nearby ferries. Investigators praised Sullenberger's actions in gliding the Airbus A320 to a near-perfect ditching on the river, calling it one of the most successful in aviation history due to there being no loss of life.
An airport is a facility with runways and buildings where aircraft take off and land, connecting air transportation to ground transportation. Key components of an airport include runways for takeoffs and landings, hangars for storing and maintaining aircraft, and terminal buildings. Careful consideration must go into selecting an airport site, including factors like land availability, weather conditions, and accessibility. Runway orientation is also important, with runways often aligned with prevailing winds for safety during takeoffs and landings.
The document discusses airport capacity challenges and managing delays. As air traffic grows, it will strain airport capacity. Planning ahead is key to keeping up with future demand. The document then discusses various factors that influence airport capacity like airspace, airfield, terminals and ground access. It also discusses different measures used to define and manage capacity, delays, and ways to manage demand such as administrative controls, economic incentives, and technological solutions.
01-Introduction ( Highway and Airport Engineering Dr. Sherif El-Badawy )Hossam Shafiq I
This document outlines the course objectives, content, and materials for a course on Highway and Airport Engineering and Planning. The course covers topics like Superpave binder characterization and mix design, aggregate requirements, airport planning and design, runway and taxiway design. It aims to provide the ability to classify and select binders, design hot mix asphalts, and perform airport planning and design. The course materials include textbooks on pavement materials and airport planning/design, links to additional resources, and a schedule of topics over 15 weeks.

US Airways Flight 1549 (AWE1549; Callsign: CACTUS 1549) was an Airbus A320-214 on a ... The incident came to be known as the "Miracle on the Hudson", and Captain Sullenberger and the crew were hailed as heroes.
Transportation and Traffic Engineering Dr. Sheriff El-Badawy ( Introduction )Hossam Shafiq I
This document appears to be lecture slides for a transportation and traffic engineering course. It includes definitions of transportation engineering and traffic engineering. It outlines the course contents which cover topics like transportation planning, traffic flow characteristics, highway geometric design, and traffic control devices. It also defines key concepts like trips, transportation systems, land use and its relationship to transportation, and highway functional classification. The overall aim of the course is to introduce students to the fundamentals and principles of transportation and traffic engineering.

The Epistle of Jude is the penultimate book of the New Testament as well as the Christian Bible. It is traditionally attributed to Jude, brother of James the Just, and thus possibly a brother of Jesus as well. Jude is a short epistle written in Koine Greek.
1 Maccabees is a deuterocanonical book which details the history of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire as well as the founding and earliest history of the independent Hasmonean kingdom. It describes the promulgation of decrees forbidding traditional Jewish practices by King Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the formation of a rebellion against him by Mattathias of the Hasmonean family and his five sons.
The narrative of Bel and the Dragon is incorporated as chapter 14 of the extended Book of Daniel. The original Septuagint text in Greek survives in a single manuscript, Codex Chisianus, while the standard text is due to Theodotion, the 2nd-century AD revisor. This chapter, along with chapter 13, is considered deuterocanonical: it was unknown to early Rabbinic Judaism, and while it is considered non-canonical by most Protestants, it is canonical to Eastern Orthodox Christians, and is found in the Apocrypha section of 80 Protestant Bibles.
The Epistle of Ignatius to the Philadelphians is an epistle attributed to Ignatius of Antioch, a second-century bishop of Antioch, and addressed to the church in Philadelphia of Asia Minor. It was written during Ignatius' transport from Antioch to his execution in Rome.
2nd Maccabees is a deuterocanonical book which recounts the persecution of Jews under King Antiochus IV Epiphanes and the Maccabean Revolt against him. Painting by Pierre Paul Rubens, 1634.
The Epistle to Titus is one of the three pastoral epistles in the New Testament, historically attributed to Paul the Apostle. It is addressed to Saint Titus and describes the requirements and duties of presbyters/bishops.
