On 12th December, 1985, Arrow Air Flight 1285, a McDonnell Douglas DC-8, takes off from Gander airport in Canada en route to the US. It's carrying US troops returning from a peacekeeping mission in Egypt. About a mile from the runway, the aircraft crashes and burns, killing all 256 six passengers and crew.
An investigation by the Canadian Air Safety Board puts the cause of the accident down overloading and of ice on the wing. But many questions continue to hang over Flight 1285. Only five of the nine members of the safety board agree with the conclusion. Four issue a minority report arguing that there is no evidence for the ice-wing theory. Furthermore it speculates that the crash is caused by on board explosions. Was the tragedy of Arrow Air an act of god, or an act of terror?

Frequently Asked Questions
What are three things you can learn from history?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. We can apply them to today's business challenges and turn them into opportunities for growth.
The past has taught us that there is always a better way. There is always someone who thinks out of the box and takes risks to make themselves stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost, think back to the times when they won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the failures and successes of others.
These lessons can help you improve the success rate.
What do our mistakes show us?
Do not worry too much about making mistakes. You'll learn something. Even more important, you can correct any mistakes you make. Don't worry about the little things, there is nothing wrong with making errors. We all make them.
Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. It is how you deal and learn from your mistakes that matters the most. They will eat at your soul if you allow them to bother you. You'll be stronger if you see them as opportunities to grow.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, look for ways to improve yourself. Learn from your mistakes and become better tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made by Accident
Inventors make errors. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
Invention is not an accident. Each invention was created intentionally. There is no such thing as an accidental invention.
An invention is a deliberate act. A deliberate decision to create something new. It solves a problem. Someone's quality of life will be improved.
Understanding that mistakes are not inevitable is the key to invention success. Instead of trying avoidable mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What is the most important thing for people? What are they looking for?
Ask yourself these questions. Questions that will help you figure out what kind of product or service you should develop next.
To do this, you have to put aside any preconceived notions. All assumptions about the world's wants and needs. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
They must learn what they are looking for. Not what they tell themselves they want.
Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. This is where invention begins.
What are some lessons learned from history?
We have three lessons from history. First, it is up to you to make a difference in the world. It is important to make sure that people are prepared for change when you try to improve their lives. You can only change the future if it is better.
The first lesson is that you can change the world in two ways. One is fight for it. It is easy to lose sight of why you started a fight in the first place when you are focusing on winning.
You can't control how people react to your ideas, but you can control how you present them. If you try and convince someone to do something, it will be a failure. But, if your goal is to inspire someone to act, you'll be successful.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. No matter whether you are creating change, or reacting to it. Here are three ways you can make your mark: Be clear about the things you want, be honest with where you came from, be courageous enough to go where no other person has gone before, and be clear about who you are.
The second lesson we learn is that everyone has the option to choose. Either we wait for the right circumstances to unfold or we can make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or are we ready to decide our fate?
I'd argue that we're living in a golden age right now. There's more opportunity than ever before, creating a lot of excitement. People feel empowered to create their futures, and that's exciting.
This creates a problem. It's hard to know what you want.
Let's take, for example, the desire to purchase a house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. You could also think about what you would love to do. You can then search for a job where you can do it. Final step: Apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. It's possible to ask, "Where do you want to travel?" Then, you'd start saving money, researching countries online, talking to friends, etc. Finally, you would book a plane.
Let's assume you didn't really know what you wanted. If that were the case, you would probably do one of those things anyway. But by asking yourself questions like this, you increase your chances of getting what you want. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is the ability to always improve the future, regardless of what happens next. This is because it's simple. Your choices influence who you are and what you become.
You can learn from the mistakes and successes of others and continue to improve until you achieve your goals.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe you are better than you think you are.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and move on. Consider what you have learned over the course of your life. What are you most proud of? What has been your greatest success? What have you done to overcome obstacles?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. You can accomplish anything, no matter what anyone tells you.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
What is the most important thing to learn in history?
There isn't an easy answer to this question. Learning is about three things. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. Third, it is important to recognize how rapidly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. It empowers us to make better choices and improve our lives. Perfect information would make it easy to make informed decisions. We would always do what is best for us, and not worry about whether it was wrong or right.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that after we've acquired knowledge, we continue to learn more. We become more and more intelligent as time goes by. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now look at the third. Although knowledge is cumulative it doesn't remain static for very long. Knowledge is ever-changing. Scientists are constantly discovering new facts, theories, or ways to think. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Our culture is dependent on technology that allows us instant access to information. Technology allows us to store huge amounts of data electronically and share it with millions around the globe.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization refers simply to the process by which ideas or products spread beyond borders. Because of globalization, knowledge is now accessible everywhere.
Internet access allows anyone to find information from any part of the world. You can surf the internet, read books, listen to music and play video games. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. For example, if you go online today, you'll find hundreds of thousands of websites offering advice on topics such as health, finance, business, cooking, sports, and travel. These sites provide information on virtually every topic imaginable.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
Experts in specific fields are able to create and share valuable knowledge. Experts are often experts in a specific field. Experts are also capable of producing high-quality content targeted at their audience.
This specialization is good news for consumers because they don't need to search through tons of useless information. Instead, they can rely on a limited number of websites that offer lots of valuable content.
Specialization is also a benefit for experts, who can create strong businesses around their expertise. The buyer of a book expects the author will be knowledgeable enough to explain the subject clearly and concisely. He wants to be confident that the author understands his message.
An expert who isn't a specialist risks losing customers who are expecting him to be one.
You don't have to specialize in one area. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. A specialist could be an accountant. It is also possible to be a parent, spouse, friend, or fan.
Experts say it is common to specialize.
So, how do you become a specialist in multiple areas? The answer is simple: practice. To learn anything, you have to practice. And when you make progress, you keep going until you reach a level where people recognize your expertise.
Many industries today are dedicated to helping others accomplish this goal. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps was the man who built the Suez Canal. His goal was to connect Europe with Asia. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. It required the construction and maintenance of several locks as well as dams. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. When he returned home to France, he discovered that Napoleon III had been overthrown, and was being replaced by the Second Empire. They had no interest in such an expensive project. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. In 1859, after the British were defeated at the Battle of Omdurman during the Sudan War, they signed a treaty allowing them access to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, which opened in 1869.
This project opened up trade routes, increased international commerce, and led to the development and integration of many countries around world, including Canada and Australia.
The Suez Canal also allowed people to travel faster than ever before. Before the construction of the Suez Canal, it took weeks to cross Isthmian Peninsula. It now takes days. People could visit places like Paris, London, Rome, and Constantinople without going through long sea voyages and dangerous storms. In addition, the Suez Canal shortened the distance between North America and Europe by almost 3,000 miles, making it easier for people to move back and forth. These features made the Suez Canal a major transportation project.
The Suez Canal caused problems as it divided the Ottoman Empire in two, ultimately leading to the First World War. During the war, Britain used the Suez Canal for its attack on Germany. The Germans attacked Britain using their version. The Suez Canal was finally under Egyptian control after the war ended, but the British retained the land to its right.
After the Second World War, the Suez Canal remained an important part of global trade until the Arab-Israeli conflict began in 1948. Both sides initially resisted the temptation to attack each other in fear of being forced to use force. Eventually, Israel captured the Sinai peninsula from Egypt in 1967, and the Suez Canal was closed to all shipping except for military vessels. The closure lasted four years until President Sadat reopened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
