    I'll add an honorable mention: John Liotine worked as a mechanic at the Alaska Airlines maintenance base in Oakland, CA. Concerned about inadequate maintenance practices, fraudulent record keeping, and pressure from the company to certify planes that were unfit to fly, he reported the company to the FAA in 1998. In January 2000, Alaska Flight 261 crashed off the coast of LA, killing all 88 passengers and crew on board. The cause of the crash was found to be inadequate maintenance which failed to detect that a critical component of the aircraft's tail had reached the end of its service life and was too worn to be safely depended on

    I remember being in the fourth grade on 9/11/01.
    All of the sudden, all classes were advised to meet in the school gym that afternoon. The students sat on the floor. Teachers stood with their groups. I had no idea why the last class of the day was interrupted until I heard the principal say this:
    “In New York City, a plane crashed into a tower and every single person in the building was hurt. In Washington D.C., a plane crashed into a building there, and everyone was hurt.”
    Those words scared the daylights out of me. I felt vulnerable. I felt sorry for those who were hurt or killed. I couldn’t stop crying. When I got home, seeing that terrifying footage of the towers burning on NBC News, I was tossing a small Rubik’s cube in my hands, distracting myself from just how scary reality can be.

      i remember being in college and being woken up by my boyfriend calling me to tell me "a plane flew into the world trade center." that's all he said, and it sounded like some kind of terrible accident involving a biplane or a little puddlejumper or something. 10 minutes later my best friend called me screaming "A PLANE FLEW INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER AND 50,000 PEOPLE ARE DEAD!!!" i didn't have a TV in my dorm and still nobody had said anything about passenger jets or hijackers or terrorists, so i went to my classes. i don't like watching footage of people dying so i avoided the news broadcasts in the common areas. eventually i was up to speed by word of mouth but i never really had the same... trauma response everyone else seemed to have. it wasn't really that different from news of an earthquake or a war somewhere overseas. kind of funny how everyone was so devastated by the loss of 3000 lives in one targeted attack, but a virus sweeps the country and kills that many people a day every single day for a couple of years and suddenly it's "but muh freedoms" and "plandemic" and "gotta sacrifice grandma to keep the economy open!"

    I’ve always admired Dan Applegate for warning McDonnell Douglas about the deadly flaw in the DC-10’s left rear cargo door. His warning came 15 days after an American Airlines DC-10 flying from Detroit to Buffalo lost its left rear cargo door over Windsor, Ontario. The DC-10 limped back to Detroit with all 67 passengers and crew surviving their brush with death alive, albeit 11 passengers & 2 members of cabin crew were injured. In his warning, he expressed concern over the lack of ventilation in the cargo compartment near the rear galley of the cabin and warned that it was only a matter of time when disaster struck again, but with deadly consequences. The warning itself said the following: “The airplane (referring to the DC-10) demonstrated an inherent susceptibility to catastrophic failure when exposed to explosive decompression of the cargo compartment.” Unfortunately, Douglas never received Applegate’s warning and 2 years later, THY 981 had its left rear cargo door blown off and 346 people were killed in an otherwise PREVENTABLE accident.

    I was eleven years old on 9/11. My brother and me were visiting his then girlfriend Kasia (we're Polish, that would be "Katie" in english) who worked in a radio. We were fooling around a little, until one of Kasia's co-workers said something like "Oh my God, the US! A plane hit a building in the US!" I was like "wait, what?", my brother finally said something like "ain't those some early reports you seeing? You sure it's big, ain't that some misinformation, maybe?" We went home soon after that to find rest of the family glued to the TV with blank stares. No one seemed to realize we're back (our mother has a habit of greeting every family memeber when we would return home). I said nothing, watching the screen with internal ".......". My brother eventually said "Oh, fuck. Fuck! Fuck!" Mom, who would under any other circumstances roar "LANGUAGE!", still didn't seem to hear him.

    Apparently we have forgotten. With Katrina, the feds sent the money. But, the state took it and used it for other things. And some times the fed sent it other places after it was earmarked for the levy's. It's amazing how short our memory is with politics in this country.

    • @Black_Caucus
      @Black_Caucus 15 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +3

      This is completely made-up and you know it is. Also, the vast majority of the criticism of Katrina was the response *after* the disaster occurred, not just the failure to properly prevent the worst of the disaster before-hand. There is a reason why Katrina is uniquely looked back upon as the worst possible way to handle hurricane disasters, and it's because the federal government failed to, or sat around and did nothing for a long period after, the type of stuff that the federal government can ACTUALLY do after a disaster like we saw. Partially it was because New Orleans is a very black and non-white city and of course George W. Bush felt that he didn't owe that segment of the population aid, but also because the administration was preoccupied with illegally invading multiple other countries and siphoning money to the wealthy with tax cuts.
      There are some things feds can help with when it comes to storms and there are some things it cannot, because of our insanely stupid system where we delegate these type of things to states (which is an insanely brain-dead idea in and of itself considering the fact that one of the main reasons we literally having a fucking government in the first place is PRECISELY for things like natural disasters which we make worse by destroying our climate and empowering storms, or man-made disasters) but this was an example of the federal government not even doing the bare minimum it is legally allowed to do and is responsible for. Katrina and the aftermath could have easily been 50% less deadly and awful after the event occurred if the government put even the bare minimum responsibility into the response, which they did not do, again, primarily because it's a black area. If New Orleans was 95% white, Katrina, the damage, and the horrendous response would not be the hurricane we know it as today, because it would have been properly responded to.

They sent us all home and as I drove through the city on the way home, I remember looking up, wondering if I was going to see an airplane heading towards one of our buildings. Going to work for the next few days was weird because it was so quiet, with the airport shut down.
    I was also at work the morning of the Challenger explosion and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Listening to that clip of Boijoly saying that in the go-no go meeting they were told to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was a problem, I was shocked. That's backwards.

Germany had to accept FULL responsibility for WWI, which was FALSE. Germany was definitely PARTIALLY responsible, as much as several other countries, but it was certainly not FULLY responsible. Fact about WWI is that there was an arms race and a complex web of alliances, so as a result, everyone in Europe was eager to look for a fight, not just Germany. In fact, Germany didnt even START the war, Serbia and Austria-Hungary did.

    It was a snow day, so I was home from school, cleaning my room, when the Challenger went.
    I had pinkeye, so I couldn't travel for work, and in the family room with my infant kids watching Barney when my father-in-law called to see if i was OK. He asked if I was watching TV and I said, "yes, but it's Barney." He told me to turn to any other channel.
    There are times in your life, markers, that you will always remember where you were and what you were doing. The assassination of JFK (I wasn't born yet, so I don't remember that one), the death of Princess Di (I went to store to get something, and there it was on the front page of the newspaper--I went home and told my wife, we were both in shock).
    Sometimes, if you're lucky, these markers will be happy times. I remember watching the NY Rangers win the Stanley Cup. I was in front of my TV in Buffalo, and with about two minutes left in the game, I picked up my phone and called my father. We've shared being Ranger's fans my whole life. He said, "Hello, Rick." I said, "Hello, Dad." We sat in silence as the clock ticked down. We each watched the Cup get handed to Mark Messier and get passed to a few players. I said, "I love you, Dad." He said, "I love you, too." and we hung up. I'll never forget that moment.

    For 9/11 was I was 7 going on 8 years old, I was in school in Greenwich Village NYC, they rushed us all down to the basement/cafeteria, we were all told to color, talk and play or whatever, eat our lunch and not to ask questions. We overhead from 8th graders that there was an attack on the World Trade Center NO further details, a kid in my class his mom worked there and he was in tears the entire time, freaking out. My mom worked for NYU hospital and being fluent in Spanish was called to be an emergency translator. I was the LAST kid to go home that day at about 5 or 6 pm, the teachers were VERY POd that I hadn't been picked up, my mom needed to provide proof of where she lived and that I went to school where I did because there were checkpoints throughout the city and you needed to have a damn good reason to be going outside. I remember on our walk home before you could see the towers from a particular point on the walk, I remember just... not seeing them, there being dust and it just looked off.

    Another thing about the Titanic is that the rivets were faulty! They were prone to snapping.

Even tho he and others knew it wasnt safe, he still chose to go on the mission because the backup pilot was a close friend of his and he didnt want him to die. Apparently as the capsule was descending and the parachutes failed to open, it was heard on the radio that he was cursing everybody out who were responsible for putting him on that raggedy spaceship.

    This is what happens when experts in their fields are ignored or silenced.
    Had the Titanic hit the iceberg headon, it probably would not have sank.
    The cargo door coming off the Turkish DC 10 plane would not have happened if the FAA had done their and heeded the recommendations of the NTSB as that was the 2nd time a cargo door had come off a DC 10 while climbing. The first time was 2 years earlier on an American flight when it was crossing Windsor Ontario, heading to New York from Detroit. The pilot managed to land the plane safely with no casualties as it had much less people on board, thus creating a lot less damage when the door blew off. Neither accident would have happened if McDonnell Douglas had corrected the design flaw BEFORE it went into production. (Mayday: Air Disaster has an episode of the Turkish tragedy and its aftermath.) It's sad to think that if any of these people were listened to how different things would have been. There would not have been so much death and/or financial losses.

    It costs money and brain cells to avert disaster. Even look at the oil rig, Deepwater Horizon, yes I did watch the movie but the whole place was a ticking timebomb. BP but it fell on deaf ears. Then there was Aberfan disaster in Wales. Mine workers and residents warned the company owners for years about the spoil tip being on top of a spring that was slowly eroding the tip. Again it fell on deaf ears, the spoil tip caused an avalanche killing 116 children and 28 adults. The coal company laughed because no one was sacked or demoted, but they did offer a generous £500 in compensation to each greaving family then got pissy when the families turned it down because "the families were being too greedy". Sorry, the Aberfan story greatly upsets me.
