.... analysis of ATMOSPHERE air plane BATTLES

.... DATABASE translated by Herb Zinser 

Herb Zinser provides some data about Nature's SYMBOL MACHINE comprised of nouns, verbs, concepts, math equations, flowcharts, etc. The ideas found in math and basic science high school and college  textbooks are part of the SYMBOL MACHINE.

Using Galileo's suggestions of " 2 CHIEF WORLD SYSTEMS" we now perceive Sartre existentialism as partitioned into 2 or more data spaces....... the 2 CHIEF existential entities.

1) physical reality of objects: concrete highways, iron automobiles, cellulose trees, humanoids, etc.

2) The world of symbols, concepts, process control system flowcharts, biochemistry diagrams, math and physics equations, etc.

Language in Thought and Action, S.I. Hayakawa.

1948

• January 28 – In the 1948 Los Gatos DC-3 crash, an Airline Transport Carriers Douglas DC-3 crashes in the Diablo Range, California, after an engine fire; all 32 passengers and crew are killed.
• January 30 – In the BSAA Star Tiger disappearance, an Avro Tudor IV disappears without a trace en route from the Azores to Bermuda with 31 on board; the loss of the aircraft remains an unsolved mystery to this day, with the resulting speculation contributing to the Bermuda Triangle legend.

• March 12 – Northwest Airlines Flight 4422, a Douglas C-54 Skymaster, crashes into Mount Sanford in the Alaska Territory, killing 30; although found, the wreckage is initially inaccessible and is not rediscovered until 1999 after being buried for more than 50 years.
• April 5 – In the 1948 Gatow air disaster, a British European Airways Vickers VC.1 Viking crashes near RAF Gatow, Berlin, following a collision with a Soviet Air Force Yakovlev Yak-3 fighter; all 14 people on board the Viking are killed, as well as the Soviet pilot.

• April 21 – British European Airways Flight S200P, a Vickers VC.1 Viking, crashes into Irish Law Mountain in Scotland due to pilot error; all on board survive.
• June 17 – United Airlines Flight 624, a Douglas DC-6, crashes near Mount Carmel, Pennsylvania, after failed attempts to extinguish what was believed to have been an onboard fire; all 39 passengers and four crew are killed.
• July 4 – The 1948 Northwood mid-air collision, between a Scandinavian Airlines System-operated Douglas DC-6 and an RAF Avro York, kills all 39 passengers and crew on board both aircraft.
• July 17 – Miss Macao, a Catalina seaplane en route from Macau to Hong Kong in southern China, is hijacked over the Pearl River delta by a group attempting to rob the passengers; following a struggle in the cockpit, a crash kills all but one of the 26 people on board (the sole survivor is later identified as the lead hijacker); this is the earliest known airliner hijacking.
• August 1 – Air France Flight 072, a Latécoère 631, disappears over the Atlantic Ocean with the loss of all 52 people on board. This was the worst aviation accident in the Atlantic Ocean at the time and remains the worst ever involving the Latécoère 631.
• August 29 – Northwest Airlines Flight 421, a Martin 2-0-2, crashes near Winona, Minnesota, due to structural failure of a wing, killing all 37 on board in the worst ever accident involving the Martin 2-0-2. This crash is also the first loss of a 2-0-2.
