    I need help with finding resources for a university assignment!!!

    You need to be looking at online scholarly databases, you should have remote access through your student account. Ask the library staff if you're unsure.

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    Of course it is highly unlikely, i understand how rigorous aircraft maintenance must by necessity be. That said, this is whole event was highly unlikely and maintenance work on the plane must be considered, especially considering the planes past incident and the recent 777 directive. Mistakes...

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    Yar, take off and landing absolutely, you'd need to look at exactly how this plane was being used and whether or not it was coming in often enough for thorough maintenance. As well as that you've got things like temperature, whether it's frequently being flown in conditions conductive to...

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    Not all flight hours are made equal. Certain flight paths cause extra stress on the plane etc. It needs to be maintained appropriately for the conditions. If it was maintained properly, then yeah sure.

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    You wouldn't if you knew how much money you would lose by pulling all of those planes out of the sky. Now that i think about it, the airline probably isn't even legally obligated to take the planes out of service for something like this, you would just add it to the maintenance schedule...

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    Most sensible thing i've read so far. Do we know how old the air plane was? Stress cracks are reasonably commonplace and usually aren't an issue given early detection and thorough maintenance. Shoddy maintenance however has been the catalyst of so many incidents.. For not following the...

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    If the phone call is genuine then the plane never crashed and would likely be still fully intact.

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    Why? Plane impacts ocean at 800kmp/h + and you wouldn't expect to find much.. Locating wreckage in the ocean is hard, it takes time. It's only been 2 days. Let's not forget it took almost a week to locate the Air France wreckage, and i believe they pretty much 'bellow flopped' on impact at a...

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    I remember. Extraordinarily sad. That said, loss of 239 people is still a terrible tragedy and imo it is fairly callous to write it off as 'not so bad' by mere comparison to other loss of life. Yes, it could have been worse had it been over land (one of the reasons i have difficulty accepting...

    The missing Malaysian Airlines...

    Bomb/in-air break up seems unlikely due to lack of debris. I also have difficulty understanding a terrorist attack when the plane encountered incident over water and no group has claimed responsibility. As mentioned, a lack of mayday call indicates that whatever happened occurred suddenly and...

    SO! Who's doing chiropractic science this year 2014

    While i really feel like a bitch posting this, it's probably something that you should know about, seeing as the university probably hasn't told you a damn thing. http://www.cecruncher.com/latest+news/the+battle+over+chiropractic+continues+in+australia/

    Enrolled at Macquarie but studying elsewhere concurrently:

    What the reply states is that if you wish to have your USYD credit count towards a specific MQ degree requirement (that is, replace an MQ unit specifically required by your program of study) you must first be exempted from that MQ unit. If you have not had this exemption pre-approved, it will...
