What possibilites can cause a plane to crash?

Planes crash for many reasons, in fact, when a major airline plane crashes, the investigation is very thorough and the investigating authority and manufacturer of the aircraft most often notify the airlines that use that type of plane what the cause was and what can be done to prevent that failure in the future.

Just a sample list of causes of major air crashes are:

  • Running out of fuel. Believe it or not, this has happened for a variety of reasons such as miscommunication with the control tower resulting in delay in permission to land; terrorist hijackers believing that the pilot was lying about the fuel level; fuel leaking from one tank and the flight crew misinterpreting the indicators and shutting down the wrong fuel tank, to name a few.
  • Weather related issues. Some of those include wind shear; icing; poor visibility, etc.
  • Mechanical errors. Those can be from manufacturing defects, maintenance errors, and many miscellaneous, one of a kind failures.
  • 'Pilot error'. Although an air crash will often be labeled pilot error, that is not as straightforward designation as it sounds. Airline pilots all over the world are very well trained and have passed rigorous testing. However, like the crew misinterpreting the fuel indicators above, it was determined that there was a real problem in the information that could be known from what the indicators said; in other words, the problem was as much with the indicator function as the crew trying to evaluate the problem. Another area that often gets a 'pilot error' label is when manufacturers that provide the information on their plane that is used to train the pilots for those planes occasionally is omitted, or incorrect and misleading information is supplied.
  • Air traffic control errors and signal beacon failures.
  • Deliberately shot down or bombed. Quite rare but it happens. When an airline plane is shot down, the party responsible usually does not admit it or claims it was an error.
  • Large bird ingestion? That's the named cause for the US Airways Flight 1549 that landed on the Hudson River on 1/15/09.

Why did cars become popular?

Before automobiles, people walked. Not everyone had a horse and buggy, plus horses were needed for farm labor, not "going places" unless absolutely necessary. Getting some place was harder to do. People had to live close to cities because "downtown" was where shops and city offices were located. By the late 1800s, they still walked. By early 1900s, they rode trolleys to the places they were going. Going on a trip, even to the city just 10 to 15 miles away, was harder. Trains were used locally and for distance trips, or ferries and ships. But these took longer to get someplace. There were no malls, shopping centers, school buses, city buses, or urban development. The automobile gave people freedom to do what they need or to go places. I challenge you to live a week without using a car for anything. Doing that will help you understand this answer.

4 vs 6 vs 8 cylinder engine is easier to start in the winter?

A 4-cylinder is usually easiest to start in winter because cold oil means alot of resistance to turning over. The larger 6 and 8 cylinder engines have much more resistance simply because of the increased quantity and mass of parts. That said, a simple block heater and a high quality battery will alow any of them to start in even extreme temperatures
