• W4233889298 abstract "Air Disaster, and: Glances James Hannaham (bio) Air Disaster A plane crashed under mysterious circumstances in a country with a dense and sparsely populated rainforest. None of the passengers or crew survived. Because of the nature of the accident, many parts of the plane had scattered over a wide area, which made this difficult investigation almost impossible. People from nearby villages walked away with parts of the plane they thought might be useful as tools or to trade. The small country did not have a good transportation safety board. They needed to send the many charred parts of the fuselage to the United States for analysis. After getting word to the local populace that they would pay a reward for the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder, and providing pictures of both, officials recovered each of them. The boxes had sustained heavy fire damage; no one knew how much information they might yield, if any. The investigators carefully packed the black boxes, which were orange, into crates and put them on an airplane to Washington, D.C. But the airplane carrying the black boxes disappeared from radar while over the ocean en route to the United States. There followed an extremely time-consuming and costly search and rescue effort for the black boxes on board the second plane as well as for those from the earlier crash. The search continued for months and cost many millions of dollars. The governments conducting the search ran out of money twice and nearly gave up, but the families of those presumed dead insisted that the search continue and put pressure on the various governments involved. For a while, the press remained fixated on such an unusual story, but gradually, with so few developments, they lost interest. A year and a half into the search, investigators found the wreckage. The plane had sunk so far down that only a robotic submersible could explore the crash site. Alternatives existed, but [End Page 68] their costs became prohibitively high. Finally, after five years, the technology and budget came within reach, and the investigators recovered both flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders. Everyone on the reconnaissance boat whooped with joy. That night, on the way back to shore, the boat caught fire and sank, killing all crew members. No one could ever properly investigate any of the mishaps; they all remain completely unexplained at the bottom of the ocean. That’s what it’s like to have to deal with you. [End Page 69] Glances in memory of j.d. Think of two women who graduated from the same college in the same year. One of them, by the end of the decade, becomes a well-known artist who makes elaborate sculptures and drawings, some of which seem like explosions suspended in time—tiny fragments of assorted shrapnel and paper, numerous ordinary objects like ladders and lamps disassembled and turned every which way, connected to swirling wires strung from the ceilings of capacious atria in art galleries. The other woman, a soft-spoken estate lawyer originally from the U.K., dies in a well-known plane crash near the end of the decade, one that turned out to have been caused by a spark from an exposed wire in a new entertainment system that ignited a horrifyingly flammable insulation material called metalized Mylar. A standard procedure for dealing with a fire of unknown origin caused the captain to flick a switch that turned off a fan that trapped the blaze in the ceiling above the cockpit. The fire intensified and disabled the plane’s control panel in several minutes, rendering the plane unflyable. But no one in the main cabin could tell that much was amiss. The plane hit the ocean at 345 mph. At this velocity, 350 g of force atomized the fuselage into at least 2 million pieces…in one-third of a second, the tail of the plane was in the nose of the plane. Think of aluminum, diamonds, bodies, water, fire, paper, steel, paintings, wires, insulation, plastic, cushions twisted by unfathomable forces into a confused spume on a dark late summer night. Only one body, of 229 onboard, remained intact..." @default.
