Sometimes, after they heard of the fatal accidents, the cancel their airplane tickets for their safety. However, according to the BBC report, air transport is the safest. An airplane is six times safer than traveling by car; twice as safe as rail."" (‘Aviation Accidents and Incidents’) This result is based on a fatility per mile basis. CNN Money said that it only killed 0.06 people per a billion miles compared with truck and car crashes killed 5.75 poeple per a billion miles in the last five years. Through these studies, we can confirm that airplanes are not dangerous …show more content…
Also, most of the airlines show concern about training of flight attendants and captains. For exaple, Asiana Airline train hard their own flight attendants and pilots at least 3 months to minimize damage of the air crahses. In 2013, when Asiana airline’s Boeing 777 emergency landed on San Francisco’s airport, the airplne started burning. However, even if Asiana got terrible accidents, it caused very small loss. It killed only two people who seemed to be dead already or killed by the fire engine. "The airplane ended up a total loss. Yet of 291 passengers and 16 crew members, only two certainly died from injuries sustained on impact. A third traveler, Ye Meng Yuan, was run over on the tarmac by first responders at the site. A lawsuit is pending that will examine whether she was dead already or was killed by the fire engine. Asiana flight attendants are authorized to use their judgment to order an evacuation, according to training records released by the accident investigative agency, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board." (Negroni) This shows that training crews are very important." others are amazed that it took only about 90 seconds to get everyone off that plane, which was carrying 291 passengers and 16 crew. The evacuation was also aided by some passengers who by and large remained calm on an airplane that was on fire, filled with smoke, its tail …show more content…

As the pilots brought the plane down they were unable to see the runway and the plane quickly slammed into the side of a mountain killing everyone onboard. Korean air had a few crashes in the 80’s and 90’s that did earn them a bad reputation and almost ruined their continued existence as an airline. Korean Air ended up turning itself around though. They have had a perfect safety records since 1999.
This situation differs from the current times. In these past years, workplaces are better prepared for these situations. Even though it could be the employees’ fault, Blanck and Harris could have prevented the number of deaths. To conclude, Blanck and Harris did not prepare for the many people who passed away in the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire.
The other half of the nurses were on the USS Oklahoma giving the their vaccinations. There were 29 US planes shot down during Pearl Harbor.

Why is the “Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire” Is Important Today? Today I will be talking about the importance of the “Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire”. It may not seem that the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, which happened over a century ago in New York City, would be relevant today — but it is. It was a tragedy that opened the nation’s eyes to poor working conditions in garment factories and other workplaces, and set in motion a historic era of labor reforms.

The Titanic's maiden voyage was one that killed thousands, one that it didn't kill was Jack Thayer. Jack and all of the other passengers were caught by surprise when the Titanic hit an iceberg and they were told that the unsinkable Titanic was going down.

Jack was lucky to have survived, for only about 705 did.
At the beginning of the war, many accidents were due to mechanical problems with planes, bad weather and errors in navigation. Louie called the B-24 that they flew on a “Flying Coffin.” “Flying the B-24, one of the world’s heaviest planes, was like wrestling a bear” (Hillenbrand 55).

The third plane rammed into the Pentagon and the fourth plane was crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
The people didn’t even consider slowing down due to the hard hit the Titanic took. There are a million reasons the Titanic was a disaster. The ship was going too fast because when it hit the iceberg, it came to a complete stop. There were not too many lifeboats. The lifeboats could accommodate only about 1,200 people.
There were 2,240 on board for the voyage. The ship left Ireland and was sailing to New York. On April 14th, the crew received reports of icy water from other ships but they did not see any so they were not concerned. There were also reports of icebergs in the area.
