A History of TWA

Transworld Airlines (TWA) was licensed in Delaware in 1978 and is the predecessor of its Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc. Originally the successor of the business founded in 1934. TWA did not become a public company before November 1983. In the early days, TWA was at the forefront of the aviation industry. On April 17, 1944, TWA flew from Burbank to Washington in 6 hours 57 minutes. On January 30, 1947, TWA began its first all - cargo service across the Atlantic, the first all - cargo service previously operated in the North Atlantic.

Flight TWA 843 crashed when the TWA Lockheed L - 1011 aircraft took off in 1992. The airplane was destroyed by fire. Nine flight attendants and five cabin crewmembers evacuated without losing the lives of all 292 crew members. According to NTSB's report after the accident, "The performance of the cabin crew in emergency is abnormal, which may contribute to the success of emergency evacuation." Foot (5.5 meters) The only death case was that the flight attendant, C. B. Lansing, was popping out of the plane. During decompression, the flight attendant Michel Honda was thrown to the floor violently, but despite her injuries, it was relief to crawl up and down the aisle.

I made a disappointing start on this day. Because of the half hour delay, TWA 2 flight departs from Los Angeles at 9:01 am and goes to Kansas City. Just three minutes late, United 718 took off from the apron and started a journey to Chicago. The flight of the latter fly to the destination in the north, but its route starts from the south side of TWA 2. This means that their flight paths are designed to cross almost certainly at different times, despite different heights. However, the morning of June 30 is cloudy. When TWA 2 encountered bondage in California and Arizona, Captain Jack Gundey asked the Air Traffic Control Division to allow the flight to fly 2,000 feet above his flight. Knowing that co-flight is expected to pass through this area, the airline refused his request. But later, when Gandhi demanded "1000 at the top", it meant that it was 1000 feet above bad weather, his request was approved.

Of the 70 TWA flights, only three wills were identified and the rest was buried in the land in Flagstaff 's cemetery in Arizona. On United flights, 29 people can be identified. For the other 29 people, their body only needs 4 coffins. A report took 10 months to compile sketched the crash site. United Douglas DC-7 began to succeed at a slightly faster rate of 340 mph and 304 mph at the super constellation. As their sight was blocked by the weather, the report said that each aircraft had gone out of the cloud at the same time, and the United Air pilot was too late to avoid the collision, but that risk can be seen first I insisted. United 718, diving and turn left on the plane, the left wing hits the TWA 2 tail and the rear torso and cuts the aft part of the aircraft
