A DEADLY PLAN That Resulted In An Ocean Crash | November Disasters | Mayday: Air Disaster
When Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 departed from Addis Ababa on November 23, 1996, it was carrying 163 passengers and 12 crew members. Among them were an American diplomat, a legendary news cameraman, and a deadly plan.
Are you able to figure out what the cause of this crash was?
From Season 3 Episode 13 "Ocean Landing": Twenty minutes into the flight, the three young men rushed the cockpit and hijacked the aircraft. They demanded that the plane switch course to Australia – an 11-hour flight. It was a suicidal request – the plane had only three hours of fuel.
Captain Leo Abate had been hijacked twice before. When he was unable to convince the hijackers to change their destination, he developed a backup plan. Without their knowledge, he headed toward the tiny Comoros Islands. An airport there might be his last chance.

Discovering A SERIOUS Problem On The Aircraft's Tail | Flying On Empty | Mayday: Air Disaster
Thompson, 53, and Tansky, 57, are among Alaska’s most experienced pilots. Shortly after takeoff, they discover a serious problem with the aircraft’s tail. The stabiliser, the horizontal surface on the tailplane, won’t move.
What episode would you like to see on the OFFICIAL Mayday channel?
From Season 1 Episode 6 "Flying On Empty": On January 21, 2000, Alaska Airlines Captain Ted Thompson and First Officer Bill Tansky prepare for a routine flight to San Francisco, unaware of a crucial weakness in the plane’s structure.
The stabiliser plays a vital part in controlling the angle of the plane in flight. The pilots struggle to keep the plane level. The stabiliser in the tail is jammed, pushing the aircraft toward the ground. To compensate, they have to pull back on the control column. The plane is unstable. The pilots request to divert from San Francisco to the nearer airport in Los Angeles. They try again to free up the jammed stabiliser. The plane shudders violently and dives 7000 feet in one minute at a 90-degree angle as the pilots fight hard at the controls.
After the terrifying plunge downward, Alaska 261 has a reprieve. But aware that they have a full emergency, the pilots request to be routed out over the ocean. If the worst happens, they don’t want to kill people on the ground as well as the plane. The plane plunges out of control again, upside-down and tumbling, the pilots continue to try to control the plane as it crashes into the ocean.

HOW IT WORKS: The International Space Station
magine you wake up in the morning, look out your window and see the vast blue horizon of Earth and the blackness of space. Our world stretches out beneath you. Mountains, lakes and oceans pass by in a beautiful stream of rapidly changing scenery as you orbit the Earth every 90 minutes. Sounds like something unreal out of a science fiction novel, right? For the crews of the International Space Station (ISS), it's a reality.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proposed a permanently inhabited, government- and industry-supported space station be built by the United States in cooperation with several other countries. Four years later, the U.S. joined forces with Canada, Japan and the European Space Agency (a program then co-managed by the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden and West Germany) to make this station a reality [source: NASA].
The list of participating countries would grow during the 1990s as Russia and Brazil joined the project, although Brazil would eventually cut ties with the ISS in 2007 [source: Gizmodo Brazil].
NASA took the lead in coordinating the ISS's construction, and today the ISS serves as an orbiting laboratory for experiments in life, physical, earth and materials sciences. Its assembly in orbit began in 1998 — and it's been continuously occupied by astronauts since 2000 [source: NASA].
The ISS contains a vast array of interconnected airlocks, docking ports and pressurized modules [source: NASA]. As of April 2022, a grand total of 248 spacewalks have been conducted at the station [source: NASA].
The ISS will continue to receive funding until at least 2030, as announced by the Biden administration Dec. 31, 2021. So far, this stellar project has cost participating nations more than $100 billion, and NASA spends $3 to $4 billion on it per year [source: Greenfield-Boyce].
In this article, we'll look at the parts of the ISS, how it maintains a permanent environment for humans in space, how it's powered, what it's like to live and work on the ISS, and how, exactly, we'll use the ISS. First, we'll start with its parts and assembly.

EARTH FROM SPACE: Like You've Never Seen Before
Our home planet is the third planet from the Sun, and the only place we know of so far that’s inhabited by living things.
While Earth is only the fifth largest planet in the solar system, it is the only world in our solar system with liquid water on the surface. Just slightly larger than nearby Venus, Earth is the biggest of the four planets closest to the Sun, all of which are made of rock and metal.
The name Earth is at least 1,000 years old. All of the planets, except for Earth, were named after Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. However, the name Earth is a Germanic word, which simply means “the ground.”
