9/11 was a building disaster that was deliberate. These crashes only include the plane itself, and most were accidental.<br />
Some pictures are incorrect, so there is no need to comment on that.</p>
<p>Song: Mika &#8211; Happy ending.<br />
I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG, ALL CREDIT GOES TO MIKA.</p>
<p>1. March 27, 1977. Two Boeing 747s, operated by KLM and Pan Am, collide on a foggy runway at Tenerife, in Spain&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217; families to offer a personal apology.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>8. May 25, 1979. As an American Airlines DC-10 lifts from the runway at Chicago&#8217;s O&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;A considerable degree of lack of alertness and attentiveness on the part of the flight crew.</p>

<p>So keep on playing those mind games together, </p>
<p>Faith in the future outta the now,<br />

<p>Projecting our images in space and in time,<br />
Yes is the answer and you know that for sure,<br />
Yes is the surrender you got to let it, you got to let it go, </p>
<p>So keep on playing those mind games together, </p>
<p>Doing the ritual dance inn the sun,<br />

<p>Raising the spirit of peace and love, not war,<br />
(I want you to make love, not war, I know you&#8217;ve heard it before)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have got a solid concrete drive and want to lay block paving. Do I have to dig it all out to 10&quot; 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?<br />
no there&#8217;s no garage and the present drive just stops where it meets te street.<br />
<br />Draingae depends on whether your driveway has a slope or not, and if so, which way is it sloping. Alternatively, you could make the new block paving slope from the middle outwards towards the 2 sides, which will also take care of drainage (assuming you&#8217;ve got grass on both sides of the driveway).</p>
<p>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&#8217;re using. You could just dig up the concrete driveway 2&#8242; away from the street and have a slight slope to circumvent this problem though, but aesthetically, it won&#8217;t be as nice.</p>

<p>FarmVille is a real-time farm simulation  game developed by Zynga, available as an application on the social-networking website Facebook  and as an App on the Apple iPhone. 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 &#8220;all of [their] players &#8230; currently considered Testers.&#8221; They state that, &#8220;Things will go wrong. Bugs will occur.&#8221;[7]  FarmVille started as a clone of the popular Farm Town on Facebook.[8]  On February 4, 2010, Microsoft&#8217;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&#8217;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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;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?<br />
<br />http://www.ehow.com/list_7305643_flowers-plant-washington-state.html<br />
I live in Oregon Zone 6. Call your local garden center to find out what zone your in and visit your local garden center and they will answer which plants in their selection will be best for your area.<br />
I have tulips, Trumpet vines all sorts of winter blooming plants such Daphne and bulbs. Lots of shrubs nd love mini maple tress there are many varieties. Evergreens and deciduous trees like Crabbe apple, plum. Ash and white Birch and many more. None require special treatment other than good soil drainage, and watering during dry periods. Rhododendrons and Azaleas are the most popular plan tin the Northwest. We are lucky to live in this are we can grow more plants than most other areas. Lavender and wisteria are super here.   http://www.rhodyman.net/rarhodyho.html</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Suppose having two water harvesting projects for two different purposes:<br />
1) Collecting water in a pond or in a tank to reuse<br />
2) Increasing the soil moisture and enhancing the aquifers recharge<br />
What should be done on the soil surface to increase the efficiency of both water harvesting projects?<br />
<br />To collect water in a pond, you can contour the land to direct runoff water (water running across the surface of the land) toward your pond.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>There is also a technique that was developed in Australia, called &quot;keylining.&quot; 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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some flowers heat up to provide warmth for pollinators as well as broadcast the flower’s scents. How does the flower produce heat? </p>
<p>a. It releases the energy in ATP.<br />
b. Instead of using glucose for energy to make ATP, the energy in glucose is released as heat.<br />
c. It doesn’t produce heat; it stores the sun’s heat.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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?<br />
<br />Not a good idea.  It causes a particular kind of rot near the base of the tree and makes it susceptible to fungus.  Integrated pest management issues might be a problem as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if this is a stupid question or not.  Also, it could be called planting soil instead of potting soil&#8230; I am not sure.  Thank you.<br />
<br />Good question.  </p>
<p>Potting soil is a commercial mix of soil for potting plants.  It&#8217;s clean and bug free.  It&#8217;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.</p>
<p>Mulch is usually available for free, although you can buy it.It&#8217;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&#8217;s useful for keeping the soil cool or warm.  </p>
<p>You can use many different things to mulch plants,  wood chips, raked up leaves, hay or straw, shredded newspaper, pine needles,<br />
the organic matter you can dig out from under trees in the forest.  In a pinch, I&#8217;ve used card board boxes weighted down with rocks.</p>
