    Extractions: PLANE DISASTERS REVISITED The following news story describing how the militaries of USA and Canada have been practising together in the shooting down of passenger aircraft is very interesting. Especially to people who suspected all along that the downing of TWA-800 (and others) could have happened in just such a manner - either intentionally or "by mistake". oops. Websites have been created and books have been written on the subject. A book I suggest people read is THE DOWNING OF TWA FLIGHT 800 , by James Sanders. The news story also points out that the military has been practicising with remote-control planes. This is another 9/11 coincidence in that some people believe the planes that hit the towers were remote-controlled and the pilots over-ridden. This is food for thought for hungry minds. ~ Jackie Jura Air Defense to Be Tested Tonight By Spencer S. Hsu, Washington Post, June 4, 2003; Page A09 Many Washington area residents may find their sleep interrupted by the roar of Air Force F-16 fighters tonight as the Pentagon conducts a 90-minute air patrol exercise to test federal procedures for identifying and confronting hostile aircraft, defense officials said yesterday. In the drill, which will start at 10:30 p.m., two F-16s will intercept two Cessna 172 civilian airplanes in a scenario designed to test pilots, antiaircraft missile crews and civilian and military commanders. A spokesman said the jets will take off from Andrews Air Force Base but declined to provide further details on the affected airspace. He said that the exercise was scheduled for the period when civilian air traffic is lowest and that flight paths were adjusted to reduce the noise level. "We've changed some of the flight profiles to minimize the noise as much as possible, but people still will be able to hear some of these things," said Major Don Arias, a spokesman for the

On board were 237 passengers and 20 crew, looking forward to the 11-hour return flight to Antarctica. These sightseeing flights had been operating since February, 1977, and took the passengers on a low-flying sweep over McMurdo Sound, returning to New Zealand on the same day. Captain Jim Collins and his co-pilot Greg Cassin had not flown the Antarctic flight before, but the flight was considered to be straightforward and they were both experienced pilots. 19 days earlier the pilots had attended a briefing session where they were shown the printouts of a flight plan used by previous flights to the Antarctic. The plan gave co-ordinates for the trip to Antarctica and across McMurdo Sound which when entered into the computerised navigation system, would be flown automatically by the plane.

    Extractions: A CTION F ILMS Recent Ultra-Violent Action Films and Their Stars: Hollywood has always enjoyed lucrative returns from the action-film genre, although the action film has been steadily worn thin with retreaded stories, excessive macho-posturing of the 'one-man-army' hero or hit-man vigilante, and overwhelming special-effects and insane stunts. By the 1980s, action films became more hyperkinetic, violent, and expensive to produce. Raw, indestructible, powerful and muscular heroes of modern, ultra-violent action films were very much unlike the swashbuckler action heroes of the past. Many of the films have morphed into other genre areas, including thrillers, sci-fi, and adventure dramas. The biggest stars and their action films have been: writer/director/actor Tom Laughlin in Billy Jack (1971) ; [Laughlin's first film, one of the earliest vigilante films, was The Born Losers (1967) ]; followed by sequels The Trial of Billy Jack (1974) , and Billy Jack Goes to Washington (1977) ; a remake version Billy Jack (2004) starred Keanu Reeves

Though the focus is on the police this is not intended in any way to minimise the enormous contribution of other organisations and individuals. Follow links below for more information. Tangiwai railway disaster, 24 December 1953 - 151 were killed when a lahar washed away a railway bridge near Waiouru causing the express from Wellington to Auckland to crash into the Whangaehu River.
