Future Challenges: Dealing with Disasters
Enrique Silva, a Metropolitan College assistant professor of urban affairs and city planning, Anuradha Mukherji, a MET lecturer, and Pablo Suarez (GRS’05), a visiting scholar at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and a guest scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, discuss disasters in light of the recent earthquakes in Haiti and Chile. Issues brought up include viewing disasters as a question of economic development, environmental protection and social justice, disaster management and planning, the role of media in reporting disasters, and the need to make use of local knowledge.
Hosted by the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future on March 30, 2010.

Final destination trilogy – Opening disasters
UPDATE – I’ve uploaded an updated version of this video in HD including the opening disaster of the last Final Destination (4). Unfortunately the video has been blocked due to copyright. Maybe they will allow the video once Final destination 4 is out in DVD? Anyway, here is the link, feel free to check regularly, hopefully they will remove the ban soon.

The opening tragedies of the Final destination trilogy.
Flight 180 (2000)
Volée Air Flight 180 is the fictional flight route designator for the flight featured at the beginning of the film; most of the flight and subsequent crash was based on the real life crash of TWA Flight 800. It is assumed that the flight routinely flies from John F. Kennedy International Airport near New York City to Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, France. On the night of the crash, Flight 180 is being operated by a Boeing 747-200 aircraft when it explodes on a 9:25 PM take-off just off Queens and burns up in the Atlantic Ocean on May 13, 2000, with the loss of 287 lives. Among the passengers are 39 high school students from Mt. Abraham High School and their chaperons. Several days later, the National Transportation Safety Board rules that metal fatigue had deteriorated silicon insulation on an electrical connector to the plane’s scavenge pump, sparking electrical wires in a fluid line. This ignited a fuel tank in the fuselage and caused the explosion.
Route 23 Pileup (2003)
The second film begins on the one-year anniversary of the Flight 180 explosion, on Route 23. A log truck’s chain supports break off and the logs crash into the cars behind, killing 26 people in the ensuing chaos. But Kimberly Corman (A. J. Cook) had a vision that allowed her to stop several people from gaining access to the highway. The pile-up happens but Kimberly’s friends Shaina, Frankie and Dano are killed when a truck carrying cars drives off the roadway and smashes into their car, killing them instantly and nearly killing Kimberly.
Devil’s Flight (2006)
The third film begins long after Flight 180 on a roller-coaster called Devil’s Flight. The roller-coaster breaks down, and when Frankie Cheeks (Sam Easton) drops a camera, the carts derail, plus the hydraulics rupture and the track is partially broken further on. However, Wendy Christensen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) foresees this, and gets the people off the ride.
Note: Although Frankie gets off the ride, the ride still derails due to the breakage. Frankie would have caused the accident due to his video camera falling onto the track.
The opening disaster in Final destination 4 will in fact be during a high-speed race car crash. Nick O’Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave…escaping seconds before Nick’s frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they’ve cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one–in increasingly gruesome ways–Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination. The film marks the latest in the highly popular “Final Destination” series, and its first 3D installment.
The film was written by Eric Bress and directed by David R. Ellis, both of whom also worked on Final Destination 2. Ellis directed cult favorites Cellular and Snakes on a Plane. The movie was shot in HD 3-D. The film has opted to be pushed forward to a scheduled release on August 28, 2009 in both the U.S.A. and the UK. It is the first FD sequel to be distributed by Warner Bros. and is reported to have a budget of $43 million, considerably larger than its previous films because it was shot for 3-D (originally the idea for the third film in the series, but the idea was dropped then due to budgetary restrictions and concerns).

Hurricane Ike – Florida Keys – September 8-9, 2008
During the first week of September, 2008 Hurricane Ike tore through the islands of Turks & Caicos and Great Inagua as a category four, with sustained winds of 135mph, before making landfall on the north coast of Cuba as a strong category three, with 120mph winds.
Ike crossed the eastern and central provinces of the Cuban mainland and moved offshore, paralleling the south coast of the island, making another landfall over the western portion of Cuba and emerging into the Gulf of Mexico.
The hurricane continued across the Gulf and made a final landfall near Galveston, Texas as a borderline category two/three, with 110mph winds, during the early morning hours of September 13th.
The hurricane caused extensive wind and storm surge damage in the affected areas, virtually obliterating several coastal communities on the Bolivar peninsula of the upper Texas coast.
With monetary losses over $31 billion (USD), Ike is now ranked as the third costliest hurricane in United States history.
From the afternoon of September 7th through the evening of September 9th, storm chasers Michael Laca, Jim Leonard, Jose Garcia and Max Hagen intercepted numerous outer rainbands, from Hurricane Ike, in the middle and lower Florida Keys, as the storm passed well to the south.
At the time of Ike’s closest point of approach to the Keys, the hurricane was a category one with sustained winds of 80mph and a central pressure of 965mb (28.50in).
Although the center of Ike remained a significant distance (150 miles) to the south, the hurricane had a very large windfield and produced sustained tropical storm conditions (39-73mph), with gusts of near hurricane-force, across most of the Florida Keys, which resulted in some minor wind damage.
These strong winds produced a 2-3ft storm surge in exposed locations on the Atlantic side of the lower Keys. During high-tide, many low-lying areas experienced significant flooding.
Numerous tornadic thunderstorms were also embedded within the outer rain bands of Hurricane Ike and several confirmed reports of tornadoes and tornadic waterspouts have been received from locations throughout the Keys.

Deepwater Seismic Minerals Exploration and Drilling Can Cause Earthquakes
Offshore seismic exploration is the primary method of exploring for hydrocarbon deposits under the sea. It begins on the ocean surface with a fleet of seismic vessels. Air guns are used to shoot sound energy waves from the survey ship into the water and sea bottom. Different layers of sedimentary rock reflect unique parts of the sound waves back to shipboard receptors. Chile October 25, 2009 … GeoPark Holdings Announces New Oil Discovery in Chile. Geopark expects to begin shooting seismic on the Tranquilo Block in December 2009 and on the Otway Block in March 2010. During 2009, GeoPark is carrying out a nine well drilling program on the Fell Block — and drilling is now underway on the Pampa Larga 15 well. GeoPark has also initiated start-up of activities on its two new blocks in Chile – Tranquilo and Otway – which in total cover an area of approximately 12,000 square kilometres. The Company expects to begin shooting seismic on the Tranquilo Block in December 2009 and on the Otway Block in March 2010. GeoPark drilled and completed the Yagan Norte 1 well to a total depth of 3,161 metres. A production test in the Tobifera formation, at approximately 3,077 metres in a 10 metre perforated interval, flowed at a rate of approximately 610 barrels per day (bpd) of oil with no water through a choke of 12 millimetres (mm) and with a well head pressure of 340 pounds per square inch (psi). These are preliminary results and further production history will be required to determine stabilised flow rates and the extent of the reservoir.
