I watched the Air Crash Investigation on Otter twin prop on service at Haiti minutes after take off. The KT approach still applies here.
It is a case where the critical thinking applies.
An Otter twin prop plane dived after take off. All of the 19 passengers and crew died.
They had several hypothesis as to why the plane crashed:
1. weight and balancing
2. engine failure
3. failure of flaps to retract.
After sometime they hypothesized, after seeing the plane control cables which abnormally snapped (the others snapped because of the crash) that this was due to cable failure:
Some observation:
1. The cables wore out due to frequent take off landing especially for the elevators;
2. The particular Otter plane did quite a number of take off landing;
3. This Otter used stainless cable which wore out quickly vs carbon steel cables.
4. The Otter were parked near jet planes and were exposed to jet blast because the jet barrier blast were removed. The elevators were in land position further enhancing the wear and tear of cables.
The results:
Because of this tragedy, certain safety standards were promulgated
1. Stricter standards for cable maintenance.
2. Restoration of the jet blast barrier between prop commuter planes and jet planes

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to watch an air crash investigation at Nat Geo. The episode is about a Air New Zealand Airbus 320 that crashed off the coast of France, on a acceptance (test flight) for no apparent reason. Since it was on acceptance flight, it was supposed to have undergone thorough overhaul checking.
However, the investigation was able to probe/determine the cause of the crash by comparing the normal and the abnormal (what is what is not, where is where is not)

The death of Fr. Thomas Steinbugler saw the outpouring of thanks and gratitude of former beneficiaries of the scholarship grants and aid that came/passed through the office of the beloved Jesuit father. We could only be grateful for the grace and the gifts that were bestowed upon us.
Our Foundation and company has given away 30 college scholarships to poor and deserving students. When my mother died, I did not see any one of them. I never received any card nor any letter from any of the students whom the Amado M. Saguinsin Memorial Foundation has helped..
It is either they have poor memories, never really were educated, or simply have culture of entitlement - ie the world our Foundation owed them a God given right to finish college.
I hope they would be successful or no longer poor (in spirit)
