True Beauty

Lisa took a photo of her carefully arranged breakfast and flowers. Her eggs and her coffee had gone cold, but the plate looked really cool. It was from an expensive art market she had visited that morning. The flowers were ones she’d ‘borrowed’ from her neighbour’s garden. No one had noticed. Besides, she thought, flowers are for everyone to enjoy, aren’t they? And, probably only ten people a day walked past old Mrs Robinson’s garden. Posting the picture on Instagram meant far more people would get to appreciate them.

Lisa adjusted the colours on her picture to make the orange juice and the pink roses brighter. As she scrolled through the Instagram filters, True Beauty caught her eye. She’d installed it yesterday and forgotten about it. The picture looked perfect with that filter. She posted the photo for her 15k followers to envy. Then she threw the food on her plate into the bin. There was no point eating it now that it was cold.

Security hijinks

My mother once accidentally knocked down a security guard in a Spanish Airport. She passed through the metal detector and it beeped, and because it always happens to her she was prepared for it so immediately threw her arms up so that they could search her. One of her hands caught the security guard in the face and she went down. It was one of the funniest moments ever upon reflection but at the time everything went crazy

Mom I did my best

(...) “Look out ground; I’m a-coming through

If I die on the old drop zone

Box me up and ship me home

Bury speakers all around my head

So I can rock with the Grateful Dead

Bury speakers all around my toes

So I can rock with Axel Rose” (...).

TAM Airlines Flight 3054

On the evening of July 17, 2007, the Airbus A320 serving the flight overran runway 35L at Congonha’s airport in São Paulo during moderate rain and crashed into a nearby TAM Express warehouse adjacent to a Shell gas station. The plane exploded on impact, killing all 187 passengers and crew on board and 12 people on the ground. The crash surpassed Gol Transportes Aéreos Flight 1907 as the deadliest aviation accident in Brazilian territory and in South American history, and remains the deadliest aviation accident involving the A320 proper worldwide.

The accident was investigated by Brazilian Air Force’s Aeronautical Accidents Investigation and Prevention Center. It was concluded that the accident was caused by errors committed by the pilots during the landing at Congonha’s airport in São Paulo.

There were no runway end safety areas, as at the end of runways 35L and 35R was Washington Luís Avenue, a busy avenue, as well several buildings and houses.

US Airways Flight 1549

On January 15, 2009, the Airbus A320 struck a flock of birds shortly after take-off from La Guardia, losing all engine power. Given their position in relation to the available airports and their low altitude, pilots decided to glide the plane to ditching in the Hudson River off Midtown Manhattan. All 155 people on board were rescued by nearby boats, with only a few injuries. The captain and pilot in command was Sully Sullenberg, a former fighter pilot who had been an airline pilot since leaving the US Air Force, he was also a glider pilot and expert on aviation safety. First officer Jeffrey Skiles had accrued 20,727 career flight hours, including 37 in A320, but this was his first A320 assignment as pilot flying. There were 150 passengers and three flight attendants on board.

Aftermath, Passengers and crew sustained 95 minor and five serious injuries, including a deep laceration in the leg of one of the flight attendants. 78 people received medical treatment, mostly for minor injuries and hypothermia; 24 passengers and two rescuers were treated at hospitals, with two passengers kept overnight. Many passengers and rescuers later experienced post-traumatic stress symptoms. The controller, who had worked the flight, said that “the hardest, most traumatic part of the entire event was when it was over”, and that he was “gripped by raw moments of shock and grief”.
