The Role of Air Traffic Controller in the Cirrus Tragedy at William P. Hobby Airport

  Just now I saw a video that was uploaded by Air Safety Institute. I feel sorry for the three people who died in that tragedy, particularly feeling sorry for the female pilot who was at complete peace and calm till the last moments even though she was burdened by air traffic controllers with frequent instructions throwing her all around at the airport. The elaboration detailed by the Air Safety Institute mostly blaming the pilot for the tragedy forced me to write this article. We may agree that in most cases we blame the pilot for any incident or accident.

It is easy to blame the pilot for not being alive to fight for her case and everyone else involved in the tragedy, particularly the ATC who want to save their jobs and reputation.  What I didn’t like was the cirrus private pilot was as...

What is the Connection Between Moral Values and Being Super Rich?

My journey in the past one year has brought me to many realizations. The recent episodes of delayed salary have been pushed to one thought after another. I don’t know whether they are right and wrong, but I have written what has been coming to my mind. While the companies spend lavishly on other things, they forget to pay the employees on time, such episodes have forced me to look at life in a different way, here is how it goes…  I have been working for an immigration company for nine months now. A lady who worked for a premier newspaper company in India hired me. She was impressed by my writing, told me she had been searching for a writer for more than 3 months, and then she interviewed me. It is a personal achievement for me that I am a better content writer from the number of candidates she interviewed in those three months. In the past nine months I have been working for her, many times I had doubts about her decision as we had a number of altercations. On one occasion I had ev...
