Song: Mika – Happy ending. 1. March 27, 1977. Two Boeing 747s, operated by KLM and Pan Am, collide on a foggy runway at Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands killing 583 people. The KLM jet departed without permission and struck the Pan Am jet as it taxied along the same runway. Confusion over instructions and a blockage of radio transmissions contributed to the crash. 2. August 12, 1985. A Japan Air Lines 747 crashes near Mt. Fuji after takeoff from Tokyo on a domestic flight killing 520. The rupture of an aft bulkhead, which had undergone faulty repairs following a mishap seven years earlier, caused destruction of part of the airplane’s tail and rendered the jet uncontrollable. A JAL maintenance supervisor later committed suicide, while the president of the airline resigned, accepting full, formal responsibility for the crash and visiting victims’ families to offer a personal apology. 3. November 12, 1996. An Ilyushin IL-76 cargo plane from Kazakhstan collides in midair with a Saudia 747 near Delhi; all 349 aboard both planes are killed. The Kazakh crew had disobeyed instructions, and neither airplane was equipped with collision-avoidance technology. 4. March 3, 1974. In one of the most notorious and gruesome crashes ever, a THY (Turkish Airlines) DC-10 crashes near Orly airport killing all 346 passengers and crew. A poorly designed cargo door had burst from its latches, and the subsequent depressurization caused failure of the cabin floor and impairment of cables to the rudders and elevators. Out of control, the plane slammed into the woods northeast of Paris. McDonnell Douglas, maker of the DC-10, which would see even more controversy later, was forced to redesign its cargo door system. 5. June 23, 1985. A bomb planted by a Sikh extremist blows up an Air India 747 enroute between Toronto and Bombay (with stops in Montreal and London). The airplane fell into the sea east of Ireland killing 329. Investigators in Canada cited shortcomings in baggage screening procedures, screening equipment, and employee training. A second bomb, intended to blow up another Air India 747 on the same day, detonated prematurely in a luggage facility in Tokyo before being loaded aboard. 6. August 19, 1980. A Saudia L-1011 bound for Karachi returns to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, following an in-flight fire that broke out just after departure. For reasons never understood, the crew takes its time after a safe touchdown and rolls to the far end of the runway before finally stopping. No evacuation is commenced, and the airplane then sits with its engines running for more than three minutes. Before any doors can be opened by the inadequately-equipped rescue workers at Riyadh, all 301 people on the widebody die as the passenger cabin is consumed by a flash-fire. 7. July 3, 1988. An Airbus A300 operated by Iran Air is shot down over the Straits of Hormuz by the US Navy destroyer Vincennes. The crew of the Vincennes, distracted by an ongoing gunbattle, mistakes the A300 for a hostile military aircraft and destroys it with two surface-to-air missiles. None of the 290 occupants survived. 8. May 25, 1979. As an American Airlines DC-10 lifts from the runway at Chicago’s O’Hare airport, an engine detaches and seriously damages a wing. Before its crew can make sense of the situation, the airplane rolls 90 degrees and disintegrates in a huge fireball about a mile beyond the runway. With 273 fatalities, this remains the worst-ever crash on US soil. Both the engine pylon design and airline maintenance procedures were faulted by NTSB investigators, and all DC-10s were temporarily grounded. 9. December 21, 1988. Two Libyan agents are later held responsible (one is convicted) for planting a bomb aboard Pan American flight 103, which blows up in the night sky over Lockerbie, Scotland killing 270 people, including 11 on the ground. 10. September 1, 1983. Korean Air Lines flight KL007, a 747 carrying 269 passengers and crew from New York to Seoul (with a technical stop in Anchorage) is shot down by a Soviet fighter after drifting off course — and into Soviet airspace — near Sakhalin Island in the North Pacific. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) later attributes the mysterious deviation to “A considerable degree of lack of alertness and attentiveness on the part of the flight crew.

Do I have to dig it all out to 10" to refil with hard core and then wack a plate it or can I just lay sand on the concrete and lay the block paving on top of this? Also to consider, where the driveway meets the street, is it level at the moment? If it is and you lay block paving on top of your current driveway, where it meets the street, there will be a slight bump depending on how thick the block you’re using. You could just dig up the concrete driveway 2′ away from the street and have a slight slope to circumvent this problem though, but aesthetically, it won’t be as nice.

The game allows members of Facebook to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops and trees, and raising livestock.[2] Since its launch in June 2009,[3] FarmVille has become the most popular game application on Facebook, with over 82.4 million active users and over 23.9 million Facebook application fans in May 2010.[4] The total FarmVille users are over 20% of the users of Facebook.[5][6] Despite this, Farmville is still classed by Zynga as being in Beta testing stage, with “all of [their] players … currently considered Testers.” They state that, “Things will go wrong. Bugs will occur.”[7] FarmVille started as a clone of the popular Farm Town on Facebook.[8] On February 4, 2010, Microsoft’s MSN Games has also launched FarmVille on its website,[9][10] requiring a Facebook account but not a Windows Live ID in order to play the game. On June 7, 2010, at Apple’s WWDC, the CEO of Zynga announced that they were porting FarmVille for the Flash-less iOS platform.[11] It was later released on 23 June 2010 for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Duration : 0:2:1 I’m moving in to a new place and I want to plant some flowers but I dont really have a green thumb so I was wondering what flowers grow best in washington state so that I wont have to give them any special treatment. So what type of flowers will grow best? And should I mix potting soil with the natural ground soil? Suppose having two water harvesting projects for two different purposes: To increase soil moisture and groundwater recharge, you want to slow down the runoff water. The slower it goes, the more likely it will soak into the soil. This is done through contour plowing, terracing and constructing and maintaining grass waterways that have as low a slope as possible. There is also a technique that was developed in Australia, called "keylining." That technique looks promising to me, but since it arose on a farm, and not some agricultural university, I have not seen any peer reviewed studies on it, only anecdotes from people who are sold on the idea. Some flowers heat up to provide warmth for pollinators as well as broadcast the flower’s scents. How does the flower produce heat? a. It releases the energy in ATP. I am erecting a tree/garden seat around a very large blue fir. The manufacturer suggests filing the centre with soil and planting out. Does any one have any idea wether this will do any damage to my tree? I don’t know if this is a stupid question or not. Also, it could be called planting soil instead of potting soil… I am not sure. Thank you. Potting soil is a commercial mix of soil for potting plants. It’s clean and bug free. It’s the safest thing to use for starting young plants. Most folks use it for their house plants. I use it for my new tomato and pepper plants when I start them in late winter. Mulch is usually available for free, although you can buy it.It’s something you put around the plants to help hold water near the plants and prevent the soil from drying out. Depending on the time of year and what material, it’s useful for keeping the soil cool or warm. You can use many different things to mulch plants, wood chips, raked up leaves, hay or straw, shredded newspaper, pine needles, |
