The topic of current events essay this week is that of a plane going to the wrong destination. Headlines on CNN read, “American Airlines accidentally sends uncertified plane to Hawaii” on September 13th.
The airlines confirms to CNN that the aircraft services seems to have mistakenly sent an airplane, that was not certified, to fly a far trip across the Pacific ocean to Hawaii, from Los Angeles, California. A crew member who resided on the ground during the time of the event, noticed this mix up and quickly contacted the crew on board. The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, who is primarily responsible and in charge of advancement, safety, and regulation of civil aviation, was notified immediately. “Somebody screwed up big time, somewhere,” an American Airlines pilot, who is not authorized to speak on the record, told CNN. It is required that the FAA be alerted of any problems that may arise. American airlines, as formerly stated, quickly contacted the FAA to clearly review their airline procedures.
In taking a position on the recent matter, I feel panic stricken about the thought of the repercussions of what this could lead into. This event affects me by cause of the reflection of what the consequence could result in of the more in-depth issue of what has happened. Recently, we had the 14th anniversary of 9/11. The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks. The terrorist attack was acted on by airplanes. With this, comes fear. If an aircraft service cannot do their simple duties how can Americans feel secure?
I think this impacts the world, because there is flight from the West Coast to the East Coast, from the north pole to the South Pole, across the equator and prime meridian, there is airflight all over the earth. As earlier referred I brought up the fact of the September 11 attacks. Reason being, the contrast between terrorists on an airplane and the misrouted airplane. I think that this should be taking care of, and people working as a higher authority, should be more responsible and aware of their specified guidelines that they did not meet in the recent wronging.
