Politics of aviation safety and a history of related airline disasters.

<body> FAA Misconduct and Paris DC-10 Disaster Very few people remember, or even heard of, the deadly problems associated with the DC-10, the crashes, and the near crashes. Among the many problems with the aircraft were: Dangerous cargo door mechanism that resulted in an explosive decompression at high altitude when the cargo door suddenly burst open, causing the cabin floor to collapse downward and into the control cables, making the aircraft uncontrollable. Engineers knew of the problems and in one company memo an engineer wrote that in the life of every DC-10, an explosive decompression would occur and everyone would be lost. The response to that memo was that if anything was said now, the question arises as to who would pay for the corrective actions. The same FAA management in the Western Region, that FAA inspector Stich had repeatedly reported as captives of the industry they regulated repeatedly covered up for safety problems and even criminal safety violations that resulted in a continuing series of major airline disasters. Only a very few insiders in the FAA knew of the documented misconduct that allowed major design problems to go uncorrected. After the most brutal of the DC-10 disasters, a plunge of a DC-10 into the ground near Paris, lawsuits were filed in the federal courts at Los Angeles. Because of the insider knowledge that former FAA inspector Rodney Stich possessed that showed the arrogance and corruption that resulted in that disaster, Stich filed a friend of the court brief, as shown by the following documents: Former FAA inspector Rodney Stich filing papers as amicus curiae (friend of the court) in multi-district lawsuit against the FAA, July 7, 1975.

Another example of how the public never hears of the corruption in government, as the system protects itself. September 12, 1975. (Adobe PDF) This was another breakdown in the checks and balances that permitted the deep-seated corruption to continue, along with the crashes and deaths, of which the 9/11 aircraft hijackings were simply one-day's consequences. Catastrophic Events Associated With Standard U.S. Culture of Cover-Ups The standard culture of cover-up associated with prior fraud-related airline disasters was followed after the latest DC-10 catastrophic disaster, making possible still more preventable airline disasters, including the hijackings of four airliners on September 11, 2001. Catastrophic Events Made Possible by Inbred American Culture and Enablers All forms of human tragedies have been inflicted upon the people of the United States from the corruption discovered by the people behind this site−and made possible by enablers in and out of government. The below pictures are only a sampling of the consequences from the documented corruption that are able to be portrayed graphically. The tragedies in other areas resulting from the corruption, cover-ups, and public indifference, are not shown here. United Airlines crash into New York City, the world's worst at that time. Withheld from the Amererica public were the reports by federal safety inspectors-investigators showing a continuing pattern of corruption, fraud, criminal alteration of major government required records−and the standard abuse of those few inspectors attempting to require the airline management to comply with industry standards and clear requirements of federal aviation safety requirements−and FAA management to require compliance. None of the guilty, the enablers, to these and the continuing fraud-related crashes ever were held accountable for the hundreds of deaths that they enabled to occur. These few examples of the horrors associated with airline disasters enabled to occur by documented corruption withheld from the American people. The standard culture of cover-ups in the United States enabled the corruption, cover-ups, to mutate into different areas. In the aviation area, although the continuing series of airline disasters eventually came to a halt for other reasons, the culture continued, and enabled to occur a number of easily preventable airline disasters. The inbred culture created the conditions that enabled four groups of terrorists to easily hijack four airliners within a few hours of each other and kill nearly 3,000 people. In criminal law, people are accomplices, and guilty, if they know of a criminal act and fail to report it to proper authorities and also to take efforts within their capability to halt their continuation. And there are endless numbers of accomplices that are complicit in these crimes and enablers of the consequences. Forewarned downing of TWA Flight 800 (and U.S. Embassies in Africa, as detailed in the book, Crimes of the FBI-DOJ, and the Mafia).
