Survival Plan

Imagen
A few days ago, it was on the news that a tsunami would hit our island. At first the plan was clear, leave the island as soon as possible and if possible by plane. However, all the tickets were too expensive and they were all taken. We must also add that several airlines decided to cancel their flights and by sea there was no option. Because of this, both my family and many friends and acquaintances tried to think of a plan to survive. Fortunately (if in a situation like this there can be luck), when that news came out we were all the students of the CF18 in the workshop. It was an ordinary day in class, until Vicente left alarmed. He told us about the danger that was coming upon us and we began to think about trips or possible escape routes, but these were frustrated by the problems mentioned above. We had no choice but to stay on the island and we had to think of a plan. Honestly, the first plans were very unfortunate, for example Manel proposed to build a refuge in the Puig

Air Force One (Boeing 747)

First of all, I would like to clarify one thing so that you can understand my explanation of one of the planes that appear in the 2012 film, the Boeing 747 that is part of Air Force One. Air Force One is the code that gives control of the air traffic to any aircraft of the United States Air Force that transports the President of the United States and only when he is on board can adopt that call sign, meanwhile it will be considered as a civil aircraft. It is a common mistake to think that Air Force One refers to a specific aircraft. The presidential fleet has consisted of two specifically configured aircraft from the highly customizable Boeing 747-200B series, designated as VC-25A. The Boeing 747, commonly nicknamed "Jumbo", is a trans-continental wide-body commercial airplane manufactured by Boeing. It is known for its large size, being the largest passenger plane for more than three decades until the company Airbus created the A380. It is also among the most fam

2012

When making a film it is always important not to make mistakes that could bother the viewer. However, there are times when they are committed because of ignorance or because the script and the scene require it. And of course the movie 2012 was not going to be an exception. One of these errors that requires the script to make the scene more dramatic is when the aircraft carrier JFK CV-67 collides with the White House being dragged by a wave from the west. However this would be impossible since the Atlantic Ocean is in the east. In addition, it should be noted that although the wave had come from the east, that carrier could never crash since it was removed in 2005 and is located in Philadelphia. The next error consists in using an erroneous terminology about neutrinos and their false interaction with normal matter. This is wrong for two reasons: the first is why the astrophysicists of the film use the term mutar which is impossible because the word mutar refers to gen
