  • Sunday Night, March 22, 1992, Usair Flight 405 Waited in Line to Take Off from New York's Laguardia Airport
    Wed., Oct. 16, 2019 - Overwhelmed Overcomer - part 1 Sunday night, March 22, 1992, USAir flight 405 waited in line to take off from New York's LaGuardia Airport. 51 people were on board, including Bart Simon, a Cleveland businessman. A snowstorm was blowing, and an already delayed flight sat in line for 30 more minutes until the control tower gave clearance for takeoff. The plane barely lifted into the air, back down, and up again. But the left wing dipped and hit antennas on the side of the runway; the fuselage began to break apart. The plane flipped into Flushing Bay. 27 people died. But Bart Simon survived. He needed stitches, shoes, and more clothes. Surviving a plane crash is a traumatic experience. Some people would never fly again. But the day after the crash, Bart Simon climbed aboard another USAir plane and flew-safely-home to Cleveland. Bart Simon is an overcomer. Fear and failure ground many people. An unknown future paralyzes people. But “God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind.” - 2 Tim. 1:7 John 16:33 - "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." As followers of Jesus, we are called to be overcomers. Romans 8:37 - New International Version - “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” New Living Translation - “No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” Why do we have this victory? Because of God’s love for us.

  • Ryan E. Quinn2
    Collegiate Aviation Review International, Volume 35, Issue 2 © 2017 When “SOP” Fails: Disseminating Risk Assessment in Aviation1 Case Studies and Analysis Ryan E. Quinn2 Saint Louis University Abstract In the early 1990s, a regional jet taking off from LaGuardia airport with ice and snow on the wings crashed into a nearby bay and killed 27 passengers and crew. The accident of USAir Flight 405 is studied critically in this review as a result of incomplete identification and dissemination of the risks involved in operations under icing conditions. The improper system risk dissemination and mitigation led the crew of USAir 405 to believe they were in a condition for a safe takeoff. In the larger context outside of this accident, unidentified hazards resulting from poor communication and company dissemination are still an everyday threat. I argue that this disconnect is a causal factor in Normalization of Deviance. Contemporary examples of safety incidents are used to support this argument and introduce possible new areas for monitoring and research. The author argues that companies should employ techniques to open new policies up for testing and feedback before being implemented as policy or standard operating procedure. Accident Narrative On the night of March 22nd, 1992, a fifty-passenger twin engine regional jet known as a Fokker F28-4000 lined up on runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport in New York City. With the Captain advancing the thrust levers, USAir 405 accelerated down the runway and reached one hundred thirteen knots. Upon “Vee R”3 being called out by the First Officer, the nose was raised to thirteen degrees pitch up under the Captain’s command and three seconds later the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) registered the sound of a stick shaker4 activation.

Following the March 1992 crash of USAir Flight 405 at La Guardia Airport in New York, New York, FAA amended Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 121.629, and developed the "Aircraft Ground Deicing and Anti-Icing Program," to prevent future icing-related accidents. This inspection was to determine how these changes improved air safety during icing conditions. As a part of the inspection, we contacted 179 officials from FAA Flight Standards Service, Air Traffic, and Airports divisions, as well as air carriers and airport operators. The FAA amended regulation still makes the pilot responsible for determining the airworthiness of an aircraft before takeoff, just like the deicing regulation prior to 1992. However, under the amended regulation, the pilot now has additional guidance, training, and support to make critical decisions on aircraft deicing. FAA sees its Deicing Program as having improved safety because

The accident-which may have been caused by ice on the aircraft‘s wing’ -raised questions about whether the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) regulations sufficiently address the actions that airlines must take when ice is present. In April 1992, the Subcommittee on Transportation and Related Agencies, Senate Committee on Appropriations, held a hearing to examine FAA’S regulations governing airlines’ ground operations during icing conditions. At the hearing, FAA stated that it would issue new regulations for airlines to implement by October 1, 1992. Accordingly, you asked us to (1) determine FAA’S progress in developing these new regulations, (2) describe the manner in which the new regulations address safety concerns, and (3) identify any areas needing improvement. Within 6 months following the USAir Flight 405 accident, FAA issued Results in Brief interim final regulations that more strictly govern airlines’ ground operations during icing conditions.

Loa Breakthroughs in computing hardware, software, telecommunications, and data analytics have transformed the financial industry, enabling a host of new products and services such as automated trading algorithms, crypto-currencies, mobile banking, crowdfunding, and robo-advisors. However, the unintended consequences of technology-leveraged finance include firesales, flash crashes, botched initial public offerings, cybersecurity breaches, catastrophic algorithmic trading errors, and a technological arms race that has created new winners, losers, and systemic risk in the financial ecosystem. These challenges are an unavoidable aspect of the growing importance of finance in an increasingly digital society. Rather than fighting this trend or forswearing technology, the ultimate solution is to develop more robust technology capable of adapting to the foibles in human behavior so users can employ these tools safely, effectively, and effortlessly.
