Employees of Allegiant Air are too careless in checking the flight’s condition. In previous year, Allegiant had a number of emergency landings because of mechanical issues, including five incidents between Christmas and New Year’s Day. In one instance, engine troubles forced an Allegiant flight from PIE traveling to Virginia to divert to North Carolina. The latest case was happened on May 31, 2016. The flight was supposed to leave Sanford Monday morning, but was delayed three times before it took off. Passengers were left waiting for more than 10 hours. Officials said the problem was due to a mechanical issue and passenger medical issues. According to a passenger, flight crews gave all passengers a 15-minute wait time, which turned into hours. The passenger said there were mechanics in the cockpit as passengers waited again after boarding. The flight of Allegiant Air initially went back to the gate when a passenger suffered a medical issue. Then, once in the air, electrical problems forced the plane to turn around. Later, boarding was halted as a piece of emergency equipment had to be inspected. Four flights coming from Sanford made emergency landings in just one week in December.

In the II Article of the Constitution it is said that the president is commander and chief of the armed forces and, with the consent of the Senate, appoints judges and other federal officers and makes treaties of other nations (Heritage 1).

As a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 the country’s focus shifted completely from natural disasters to an outright major assault on all things terrorism with no second glance at the potential emergency’s natural disasters presented. There might be a possibility that because of the nation’s extreme obsession with terrorists and terrorism that Hurricane Katrina was not given full priority nor given as much thought as it should have been because the whole focus of the government was on terrorism. When an agency and governmental structure, such as the defense agencies, undergoes an extreme shift within the course of a few years brought on so suddenly, there are bound to be weaknesses. Hurricane Katrina was the most challenging threat that tested the DHS as well as FEMA’s preparation and mitigation of natural disasters since the shift of focus.
