When Engines Failed at 39,000 Feet
When Engines Failed at 39,000 Feet The story of Air Transat Flight 236 is nothing short of a miracle in aviation history. This incident occurred on August 24 2001 when an Airbus A330-243 aircraft was flying over the Atlantic Ocean and suddenly lost both of its engines. Despite this extremely dangerous situation Captain Robert Piché and his First Officer Dirk de Jager managed to avert a major disaster through their skill quick thinking and exceptional decision making. This event not only demonstrated the pilots' expertise but also became a rare example in the world of aviation. The flight was operated by Air Transat a Canadian airline and was traveling from Toronto Canada to Lisbon Portugal. There were 293 passengers and 13 crew members on board and everything seemed to be running smoothly. However, during the flight the crew noticed that the aircraft's fuel levels were depleting at an unusually rapid rate. Initially this appeared to be just a technical issue but soon it became evident that the aircraft was experiencing a fuel leak.

January 1, 1933. Content Warning.
Happiness and optimism have eluded me for months but as I enter upon this new beginning, I find myself hopeful. I feel this is the year of love and joy for myself. I have been writing in your pages for many years now and you have been privileged to hold all of my secrets, except for one that I fear letting out of the constraints of my mind. I have been holding it inside for so long, afraid to even speak it out loud or in your pages... but alas, I feel it is the only way to escape this darkness that has been draped over me for so long. If I don't release this, I fear I may drown in this misery of my own creation. Therefore, I must confess this to you, dearest Diary... for you are the only one I trust with my deepest secrets... I am in love with another, not my husband, not another man...

The Diary of Katherina Minola
February 26th, 1593 My new husband, Petruchio, has once again found our dinner “unfit” for consumption. This maddening behavior has persisted for several days now. As I write, I feel quite faint, and I fear I may not stay awake long enough to finish this entry. He vexes me so; with his foul odor, rough manners, and appalling sensibilities, I feel most days that I share my marriage bed with a filthy, flea-riddled cur! We have yet to consummate our marriage, simply because I cannot bear the thought of him defiling me so. It makes my skin crawl even to think of it!

Love Lost
My dearest-sweet James, The date is April the Eight, 1940 and I am writing to you desperate for some semblance of justice or closure, any semblance. The skies are bleak without you here, the world is different my love. I am plagued by the constant fear of what will happen next. Who you will be when you come home. Who I will be. How I will pick up these pieces and build a new life. One without you. I can’t believe those words are being written. What do you say about a man who gave you everything? How am I supposed to write a memento in the papers about a man who embodied the world. My world?

Timeless Affections
My Dearest Caroline, As I sit here in the trenches, with the sounds of war raging around me, my thoughts drift to you and the life we had before everything changed. Your smile, your laugh, your gentle touch - they are the things that keep me going in this dark time. I long for the day when I can hold you in my arms again, when we can dance under the stars like we used to.

NASA’s amazing discovery a wrecked robot found on the surface of Mars.
NASA’s amazing discovery a wrecked robot found on the surface of Mars. NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter MRO has captured a striking image of the InSight lander revealing its final resting place on the Red Planet. The once active spacecraft which provided groundbreaking data on Martian seismic activity is now covered in a thick layer of dust blending into the planet’s landscape. This discovery serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges of exploring Mars where dust accumulation can be a death sentence for solar powered missions. Launched in 2018 the InSight lander was designed to study Mars' interior making it the first mission to detect and analyze marsquakes. Over its four year lifespan it provided scientists with invaluable data on the planet’s crust mantle and core. Unlike rovers which traverse the terrain InSight remained stationary using its sensitive instruments to listen for seismic activity and measure temperature changes beneath the surface. These findings helped researchers understand how rocky planets form and evolve.
