1. Canadian films have long been compared to American films and described in the sense of being “not American”. There have been many ways we historically separate Canadian films from American films, and it has mostly been through showing the differences between the two. Canadian films, historically, must have Canadian elements to be considered uniquely Canadian. This could mean Canadian actors, a Canadian director, Canadian funding, or, most prominently, a Canadian setting. Specifically, as Jim Leach puts it, “Canadian stories set in Canadian locations” (48). An example of this is Goin’ Down the Road and its use of Canadian place. In the beginning, we are told where Joey and Peter currently are and where they are going to – they are from Nova…

In 2008, the National Safety Council developed a table illustrating the odds of dying over a lifetime; they determined, a person has a 1 in 98 chance of dying in an automobile accident, while the same person has a 1 in 7,178 chance of dying in an aircraft accident. This means a person is about 73 times more likely to be killed on the road than in the air (Locsin, 2008). The unavoidable problem of perception in aviation is that, unlike auto accidents, air disasters result in a far greater loss of…

Secondly, another deeply credited theory is the belief that Earhart and co-pilot Noonan were ‘Nikumaroro Castaway’s.’ It is speculated both pilots touched down on a remote South Pacific Island called Nikumaroro – now commonly known as Gardner Island. The belief stands that the Electra was running low on fuel implementing fear within the pilots as they began searching for a safe destination to refuel (Howland Island.) Unintentionally, the flight path veered towards the Southwest and they landed…

The pilots did not base their tasks on the airport’s systems, they based it on their knowledge and on what they were used to. The cockpit crew’s incorrect decision, miscalculation, and reliance to wrong information…

Tall, slender, blonde and brave, Earhart disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937 in a record attempt to fly around the world at the equator. Her final resting place has long been a mystery. For years, Richard Gillespie, TIGHAR's executive…
