Since the begging of this year I been spotting Tesla's. They are very nice. The Model S is the best car I have seen around.
A mineral white metallic Model S with tinted windows, black matte rims, and smoked out lights. I'll  call it, the real deal. A good structure design mixed with an aggressive look makes a great car, well, that's my opinion. Out there, people might want to keep it classy and go for the original look, which is great too. Its good that a US car maker is receiving great respect/ feedback. I can't think of other well known car companies starting this, luxury, no gas, full electric, and actually selling it like a hot chocolate. And 2, Tesla Model S  was pronounced the best green luxury car of 2013, Fremont, CA must be proud there too.

I been thinking this for days now. Again here with Asiana flight 214, KSFO landing crash.

One of the two passengers who were pronounced dead on July 6, the day of the crash died because of an internal crush. I found out that a teen girl got killed by a fire truck, it was confirmed by the San Mateo County Coroner. This is what breaks my heart, she was alive,  perhaps with a broken leg or hand, couldn't yell or move because of the pain, and next thing you know is that a truck runs over and internally crushes her to death.  This things can't be real.

 

And the truth is that It happen, and hopefully it never happens again. I have so much respect for the emergency responders that day, this must be sad to them, it's a tragic accident that shouldn't have happened and it did, it happen for a reason that I or anyone can't progressively understand.

I only think and hope that those who got killed because of Asiana 214 crash could become angels and be looking after all the airplanes/ runways there at KSFO. This is very sentimental, and I have no idea why.

Camera Lens Coffee Mug

I'm a coffee person number... I drink three cups at day. Well it depends, sometimes two or four, and, I know, this is not normal. I will minimize, no more too much of that caffeine to my nervous system. I have it at hands and I had it. 12 oz for a day.

  

  

214

I had an opinion respectably  about the cause of the Asiana 214 that went down, San Francisco (KSFO). I still think that based on my aviation knowledge, 214 crash could of have been avoided. Disasters don't just happen, they are a chain of events. It's been crazy, a lot of crazy things have been developing from Asiana 214. Asiana wants to sue a TV station based on the Bay Area for naming  the wrong names of their flight crew, 214. Disturbing pilot names, coming from the NTSB. But The National Transportation Safety Board says a summer intern gave away those names. And now Boeing, some passengers who were affected  want to sue Boeing, I'm guessing because of how the 777 aircraft responded towards them, some of those passengers received  back, spinal injuries.

 My only hope behind all this, is that the NTSB could soon be able to give recommendations, not just to Asiana, but to the entire AV sector. The NTSB really helps to prevent future similar  disasters, when their final statement comes, it will be for good.

 

2009

2009 was my most memorable   commercial aircraft accidents.. I know that small planes go down everyday in some part of the world, some are accidents some are incidents and luckily people survive. But back in 09, It all began on January when  US Airways 1549 an A320 lost thrust in both engines and the airplane glided down to the New York, Hudson river. With no power to keep the plane moving forward, the Bay Area's own Captain Sully Sullenberger saved 155 life's . Then came February and Colgan 3407 a Q400 went down on Buffalo, New York,  killing everyone on-board. Colgan/ Continental Connection 3407 was the most recent commercial airplane crash in US soil, until Asiana 214 Heavy. And both Asiana 214 and Colgan 3407 have something in common, the stick shaker. Both received a stall warning prior to impact. Later on, May 31/ June 1 Air France 447 an A330  crashed on the Atlantic Ocean, it also went down because a stall, a high altitude stall. And it was the mysterious one, it took the investigators nearly two years to find the black boxes, the key to the answers. They said that to find those recordings, data and voice (black Box), was like to find a shoe box in an area as big as France . I really don't know about that, could the A330's debris traveled that far with the ocean currents... It was mysterious in the beginning, and those nearly two years were unforgettable. I think, everyday I checked on Aviationherald to find any answers, until 2011.

 

2009 was the year I got to follow those disasters, first hand. Back then 1990's- early 20's the US had other aviation crashes, but never could I have understand. Every year different countries are involved in commercial aircraft disasters. But, 2009 was my eye opener. It took me from thinking that no more commercial accidents in US, to, flight crews have some sleep, train well, and birds out of the way. It's very difficult to know what's next on the line, but all the innovation that the aircraft companies along side others make for safety is good.
All the Technology in the world is good, but it's only good for certain things.

Stick Shaker Warning

Asiana 214, respectably unknown info:

Stick Shaker

I was reviewing some info given by the NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman, based on the Asiana 214 landing crash. The pilots got a stick shaker alarm 4 seconds before impact, crazy, the stick shaker came 4 seconds before impact. I know how the stick shaker works, and is not fun to see it go off, specially in low altitudes. The stick shaker is a shake movement alert that the yoke/ the flying control handle makes, pilots have their hands in the yoke, the yoke makes their hands vibrate and if active too, a voice command saying "stall"  will be heard along, and a warning, master caution light. It all means that the plane is about  to go into a stall. It's an eye opening sense of feeling, the heart starts to beat a bit faster. In the Asian 214 case, the stall was approaching, the triple seven was falling out of the sky and the stick shaker alarm went off to aid/help the pilots avoid hitting terrain. So they had all this terrible things happening in the last seconds with the PAPIs, the increase speed call, the stick shaker, and the pressure to execute a go-around.

 Asiana  214 will always stay in my mind. My favorite airport, my favorite air traffic control, KSFO. .The Boeing  777 which had kept a clean passenger fatality tittle, until now. 

 

Ethiopian 787-8 Fire Heathrow

An Ethiopian 787 caught fire while sitting at the gate/ parking area. Nobody was injured due to the fire. Just Ethiopian Airlines received the bad news of their 787...And Heathrow airport was closed for about 2 hours which caused airplanes to divert to other airports/delays. Boeing has to be passing through a hard time just to imagine another fire has happen to their newest B788 (787-8). After having 787 battery problems that caused the 787 to be grounded for months. But after fixing the issues, and getting the 787 back to commercial service, and now this unreasonable fire that sent shouters to the entire aviation sector. I believe that the Boeing 787-8 airplane is great, if the fire started while parked on the ground. It could  be anything from a cabin galley fire, perhaps where the meals/coffee are prepare. There has been numerous incidents due to galley oven fires.

Or another battery problem.  But definitely some system got over heated to the point of ignition. I could only hope for updates. The NTSB is on their way to investigate.
 

The one great thing I learned about the composite materials that make the 787 is that the composite skin of the 787 melts at a minimum 649 degrees F.
