While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. It’s safe to say that in recent years, Boeing has gone through a patch of turbulence. In 2024 alone, we saw a door plug blow off mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 in January – while closer to home, a LATAM Airlines flight from Sydney to Auckland plunged mid-air, injuring at least 50 passengers. In October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia with 189 people on board. It was a Boeing 737 MAX. Barely five months later, an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing Max aircraft crashed, killing 157 people. One of those people was Graziella de Luis y Ponce, a United Nations interpreter. Her brother is Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics lecturer, Javier de Luis. He served on the US Federal Aviation Administration’s panel that reviewed Boeing’s safety practice last year. We spoke to Javier in March about what’s gone wrong, and what should change, at Boeing. New episodes return January 13th. Host: Chelsea Daniels Audio Engineers: Paddy Fox, Richard Martin Executive Producer: Ethan SillsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this riveting episode of Echoes of War, hosts Craig from the Pacific War Channel and his co-host Gaurav delve into the dramatic naval battles between Dutch and Japanese forces during the Pacific War. The episode highlights the fierce encounters over strategic territories, such as the Battle of Badung, the First Battle of Java Sea, and the Battle of Sunda Strait. These battles mark a significant phase in the Dutch-Japanese-Pacific Naval War mini-series. Listeners are taken back to a time when, following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan advanced its war strategy aggressively, targeting key locations like the Dutch East Indies for their vital resources. The episode describes the intense skirmishes and high stakes engagements as Allied forces, despite being overwhelmed, launched bold attacks to curb Japanese expansion. The episode also addresses the technological disparity faced by the Dutch and their Allies, characterized by unfortunate mishaps and a lack of coordination, yet showcasing remarkable bravery and determination. This episode is a testament to lesser-known yet pivotal moments in the Pacific conflict, offering a detailed exploration of strategy, leadership, and the relentless pursuit for dominance on the high seas.

My world was a mosaic of concrete, electricity, radio broadcasts, and black-and-white television screens. It was a life saturated with modern conveniences and rapid movement, where nature seemed distant, relegated to small parks and occasional glimpses of the sky between towering buildings. However, this perception shifted dramatically when I encountered a short story extracted from the novel Pather Panchali by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay. The tale of Apu and Durga's discovery of the train in their remote Bengali village captured my imagination with its vivid descriptions and emotional depth. The scene where they run through lush fields, their eyes widening in awe at the sight of the train, resonated deeply within me. This moment became etched in my mind, igniting a spark of curiosity and longing for a world beyond the urban sprawl.My First Journey to the Village Shortly after reading the story, I had the opportunity to visit my ancestral village, a place starkly different from my city life. The journey began with a train ride that mirrored Apu's wonder and excitement. As the train chugged through the countryside, I gazed out of the window, mesmerized by the passing landscapes. Rivers snaked through the green fields, and orchards of mangoes, lychees, and jackfruits painted the scenery with vibrant colors. It was as if I had stepped into Apu's world, experiencing the same unmeasurable happiness he felt. The bus journey that followed took me deeper into the heart of nature. The scent of fresh earth and blooming flowers filled the air. The sight of villagers working in the fields, children playing under the shade of trees, and the serene flow of rivers created a permanent visual in my mind. This experience was a revelation, a tactile encounter with the natural world that Apu had introduced me to.Discovering Pather Panchali in My Teenage Years As a teenager, I read the full novel Pather Panchali and felt an even stronger connection to Apu's journey. The book opened my eyes to the beauty of nature, the simplicity of rural life, and the profound emotions tied to family and survival. It made me realize that true happiness and fulfillment could be found in the simplest of experiences and the purest of surroundings. This realization shaped my life's journey and passions. I developed a deep love for travel, seeking out places where I could immerse myself in nature's embrace. The novel's influence led me to explore diverse landscapes, from the golden deserts of Rajasthan, India, to the lush hills of Bhutan. I found joy in the contrasting environments—the tranquil charm of Thailand's beaches, the cultural richness of Bali, the waves of the Bay of Bengal, and the expansive horizons of the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Thailand, and Java Sea.Embracing My Home Country, Bangladesh One of the most profound impacts of Pather Panchali was how it deepened my appreciation for my own beautiful country, Bangladesh. After my teenage years, I have had the privilege to explore all 64 districts of Bangladesh, each with its unique natural beauty and cultural heritage. From the verdant hills of Sylhet to the serene beaches of Cox's Bazar, the majestic Sundarbans mangrove forest to the vibrant cultural tapestry of Dhaka, every corner of Bangladesh offered a new discovery and a deeper connection to my roots. The green landscapes, the winding rivers, and the warmth of the people in Bangladesh constantly reminded me of Apu's world. This profound connection to my homeland enriched my life and reinforced my love for travel and exploration. Bangladesh, with its rich history and diverse natural beauty, continues to be a source of inspiration and joy.Embracing Nature and the Love of Travel Pather Panchali taught me to appreciate the feather-light touch of nature, to find beauty and peace in its presence, even in the most unexpected places. Whether it was the arid sands of Rajasthan, where the desert winds whispered ancient tales, or the verdant hills of Jalpaiguri, where the air was thick with the scent of tea leaves, nature became my sanctuary. The novel instilled in me a sense of wonder and a desire to explore, to experience the world through the lens of its natural splendor. In Thailand and Bali, I found a different kind of charm, where the azure waters and golden sunsets painted the skies with hues of tranquility and adventure. Swimming in the waves of the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, I felt a connection to the vastness of the world, a reminder of Apu's endless curiosity and love for discovery. The icy expanse of Mongolia, though harsh, revealed the serene and stark beauty of a world wrapped in snow and silence, expanding my understanding of nature's extremes.Final WordThe transformative power of Pather Panchali by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyay lies in its ability to transport readers into a world where nature and simplicity hold profound meaning. For me, the novel was not just a story but a catalyst for a lifelong passion for travel and an enduring love for the natural world. It taught me to seek out the beauty in every corner of the earth, to cherish the moments of awe and wonder, and to find joy in the journey itself. This timeless tale of Apu's adventures has forever changed my perspective, making every travel experience a homage to the spirit of discovery and the beauty of nature, from the warm beaches of Bali to the freezing steppes of Mongolia, and the verdant beauty of Bangladesh, my beloved homeland.The music chosen by Ashik is “Janmo Amar Dhonno Holo Mago” by Azad Rahman, sung by Sabina Yeasmin.Be sure and tune in next week for an essay written by Bidhan Chandar Sanyal.  Talk to you then!

This episode continues our mini series on maritime China with an episode on Chinese shipwrecks found in Southeast Asia and what they tell us about the development of Chinese shipping and trade from the ninth century onwards. The wrecks include the ninth century Belitung wreck, twelfth century Flying Fish, thirteenth century Java Sea, fifteenth century Bakau wreck, and from the seventeenth century the Binh Thuan and Vung Tau Wrecks. Together they provide unmatched insights into world maritime engineering and innovation, industry and manufacturing in China, and a network of trade that linked China to the world beyond its shores. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Mike Flecker, one of the world's leading authorities on the development of Chinese shipbuilding and trade, and who led excavation teams on all of these wrecks.

New York City is slowly sinking. With the weight of its tall buildings, streets and people, the city is sinking at an average rate of 1 to 2 millimeters each year, a new study says. The sinking is called “subsidence.” That natural process happens everywhere as ground is compressed. But the study published in the publication Earth's Future in May sought to estimate how the huge weight of the city itself is hurrying things along. More than 1 million buildings are spread across the city's five boroughs. The research team found that all those structures add up to about 1.5 trillion metric tons of concrete, metal and glass. That is equal to the mass of 4,700 Empire State buildings pressing down on the Earth.纽约市正在慢慢下沉。一项新的研究表明，由于高楼、街道和人群的重量，这座城市每年平均下沉 1 至 2 毫米。下沉称为“沉降”。随着地面被压缩，这种自然过程无处不在。但 5 月份发表在《地球的未来》杂志上的这项研究试图估计这座城市本身的巨大重量是如何推动事情发展的。超过 100 万座建筑物分布在该市的五个行政区。研究小组发现，所有这些结构加起来约有 1.5 万亿公吨的混凝土、金属和玻璃。这相当于 4,700 座帝国大厦压在地球上的质量。The rate of compression is different throughout the city. Midtown Manhattan's tall buildings, or skyscrapers, are largely built on rock, which compresses very little. But some parts of Brooklyn, Queens and downtown Manhattan are on looser soil and sinking faster, the study said. While the process is slow, parts of the city will eventually be under water, said Tom Parsons. He is the lead researcher of the U.S. Geological Survey. Making the problem worse is rising sea level. “The ground is going down, and the water's coming up. At some point, those two levels will meet,” said Parsons.整个城市的压缩率是不同的。曼哈顿中城的高层建筑或摩天大楼主要建在岩石上，岩石的压缩力很小。但该研究称，布鲁克林、皇后区和曼哈顿市中心的部分地区土壤松散，下沉速度更快。汤姆帕森斯说，虽然这个过程很缓慢，但城市的部分地区最终将被淹没。他是美国地质调查局的首席研究员。使问题更糟的是海平面上升。 “地面在下沉，水在上涨。在某个时候，这两个级别会相遇，”帕森斯说。Parsons and his team of researchers reached their conclusions using satellite imaging, data modeling and mathematical calculations. It will take hundreds of years before New York becomes Venice. The city in Italy is famously sinking into the Adriatic Sea. But parts of New York are more at risk. Parsons said that Manhattan is at risk because of the borough's large weight. “The average elevation in the southern part of the island is only 1 or 2 meters above sea level — it is very close to the waterline, and so it is a deep concern.” The ocean is rising at a similar rate that the land is sinking. So the Earth's changing climate could speed up the process for parts of the city to go under water.帕森斯和他的研究团队通过卫星成像、数据建模和数学计算得出了他们的结论。纽约成为威尼斯需要数百年的时间。意大利的这座城市以沉入亚得里亚海而闻名。但纽约部分地区面临的风险更大。帕森斯表示，曼哈顿正处于危险之中，因为该行政区的权重很大。 “岛南部平均海拔只有1、2米，离吃水线很近，令人深感忧虑。”海洋上升的速度与陆地下沉的速度相似。因此，地球不断变化的气候可能会加速城市部分地区被淹没的过程。“It doesn't mean that we should stop building buildings…,” Parsons said. "The purpose was to point this out in advance before it becomes a bigger problem.” Already, New York City is at risk of flooding because of large storms. Storms like Sandy in 2012 caused the ocean to expand inland and flooded neighborhoods after a lot of rain. Andrew Kruczkiewicz is a senior researcher at Columbia University's Climate School, who was not involved in the research. Kruczkiewicz said the study's findings could help inform policy makers as they plan ways to slow the rising seas. “We can't sit around and wait..,” he added.“这并不意味着我们应该停止建造建筑物……”帕森斯说。 “目的是在它成为一个更大的问题之前提前指出这一点。”由于大风暴，纽约市已经面临洪水泛滥的风险。像 2012 年的桑迪这样的风暴导致海洋向内陆扩张，并在大量降雨后淹没了社区。Andrew Kruczkiewicz 是哥伦比亚大学气候学院的高级研究员，他不是Kruczkiewicz 说，这项研究的结果可以帮助政策制定者规划减缓海平面上升的方法。“我们不能坐等……”他补充道。New York City is not the only place sinking. San Francisco, California, is also at risk because of pressure on the ground and the area's active earthquakes. In Indonesia, the government is preparing for a move from Jakarta, which is sinking into the Java Sea. The government is building a new capital being constructed on the higher ground of an entirely different island.纽约市并不是唯一下沉的地方。由于地面压力和该地区的活跃地震，加利福尼亚州旧金山也处于危险之中。在印度尼西亚，政府正准备从正在沉入爪哇海的雅加达转移。政府正在一个完全不同的岛屿的地势较高的地方建造一座新首都。

Zero Co began as an idea, dreamed up by an unemployed bloke in need of a shave, a shower and a good hard look in the mirror. That blokes name is Mike Smith (yep that's his actual name). This is the story of how Mike (along with Alyssa, Kate and Alana) brought Zero Co into the world.Mike, Alyssa and Kate went to Indonesia for Zero Co's 1st ocean clean-up where 6,000kgs of plastic was pulled from the Java Sea off the coast of Jakarta to be made into Zero Co dispensers.Now Zero Co has launched their most epic idea yet...Oceans 21! 21 million tonnes of plastic flows into our oceans every year. That's one truck of garbage every single minute. Single-use plastic is the main culprit. So the aim is to pull 21 tonnes of ocean bound plastic from Aussie oceans so we can turn it into our forever bottles! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2009 your host was about half way through a second circumnavigation when he was suddenly confronted with a rather daunting task- sailing from Bali to Langkawi, Malaysia (1500 nautical miles) across the two busiest shipping lanes on Earth (the Java Sea and the Malacca Straits) solo. This is an area of the world that is not only like a freeway on the ocean with enormous ships and fishing vessels moving at high speed it's also famous for the worst electrical storms on the planet.

WWII has ended and the allies are moving into areas of the Pacific that had once been controlled by the Japanese. You are patrolling the Java Sea for the Dutch. You discover a Japanese warship. When you hail it, no one answers. It floats, eerily on the water. You must board this ship and find out why the crew is missing... This is a lovecraftian horror adventure that casts YOU as the hero. Will you survive?

SEASON 3, EPISODE 13 PART II of MEMORIAL DAY TRIBUTE TO THE USS HOUSTON Greetings to everyone on this Memorial Day 2022. Sidney St. James, with you for the dramatic conclusion to my Memorial Day Tribute to the USS Houston in World War II. Before continuing where I left off, I should mention that today's idea came from my earlier podcast about Superheroes. Well, in that broadcast was a mention of Dr. Strange in the newest movie coming out. In that episode, I talked about not the magical powers of that superhero but how you wonder how in the world he could climb back up time after time after being left for dead so many times. He had the nine lives of a cat! Well, so did the USS Houston. While the Japanese reported it sinking more than once, it was hundreds of miles away, still floating… still fighting. Knowing this, let me continue where I left off… It's been a very long day, and it was nearing sunset as I watched the sun sinking into the waters of the Java Sea. The sea's surface was covered with clouds of black smoke, which made it difficult for us to spot the enemy. However, it was discovered that Japanese cruisers were closing in on us from every direction, and our destroyers were ordered to attack with torpedoes to divert them and give us time to reform. Although no hits were reported, the effect of the attack did what it was supposed to and turned the Japs away. At this point, the engagement was broken off. The daylight battle had ended with no decisive results; however, there was still the convoy, which we would attempt to surprise under cover of nighttime darkness. A word from Winston Churchill and then the rest of my story.

This episode is brought to you by the Museum's Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy.   Today we are traveling back to February 27, 2012. Where we had the pleasure of hosting best-selling author James (Jim) Hornfischer, so he could discuss his book, “Ship of Ghosts: The Story of the USS Houston.” For which earned Jim the United States Maritime Literature Award.   Jim was a dear friend and frequent speaker at the Museum, and though we were all saddened by his passing in 2021, we are honored to be able to continue sharing his vast knowledge and passion for the subject of the US Navy in World War II.

When you're surrounded by enemies and everything's at stake, what would you choose: overwhelming force or a cunning and subtle tactic? Don't answer too quickly! After this story about a small ship that escaped an entire Japanese fleet by disguising itself as a tropical island, you may change your mind.  Naval combat is a fearsome thing. The only thing a crew can rely on is their ship. Their destinies are intertwined. If a ship is in danger, its crew is in danger too. The Battle of the Java Sea was nothing less than a tragedy for Allied Forces in World War II. After 7 dreadful hours of fighting, the whole Allied fleet was destroyed, with just a few lucky exceptions. One of those exceptions was a small ship... Learn more about your ad choices.

Twelve weeks ago, the Pacific War started with the critical attack on Pearl Harbor and the start of the Japanese invasions across East Asia. Now, the first phase of their expansion is near its end and the desired prize is within reach of the Japanese Empire. Last week, we covered the start of the First Battle of the Java Sea and the failure of the ABDA Command to stop the invasion of Java from taking place. Today, we're going to see its disastrous conclusion and the final surrender of the Dutch East Indies, as the Japanese finally land on the island of Java.

Two weeks have passed since the fall of Singapore, and the situation looks hopeless for the Allied nations: the Malaya Barrier has been pierced; the island of Java is almost completely open for an attack; Burma is being invaded; and the Filipino defenders have been cornered at the Bataan Peninsula. It seems that the Allied command has failed in its mission to stop the advance of the invaders across the Pacific, and now we are reaching the climax of the first few months of the Pacific War. The short-lived ABDACOM, after proving their incompetence at containing the Japanese forces, now seeks desperately to stop the complete loss of the Dutch East Indies. But alas, their desperation would only cost them more than they could possibly afford. Join us as we cover the invasion of Timor, the disaster at the Sittang Bridge and the beginning of the crucial Battle of the Java Sea

One of the many crises plaguing our planet is that which is caused by waste—and in particular, plastic. The Indonesian island of Bali is famous for its beautiful beaches and 50 shades of lush green tropical countryside. However, the island is also in the throes of a monumental plastic emergency created by a perfect storm of factors. Poor education, inconsiderate tourists, mass sales of single-use plastic, and a gravely lacking waste management infrastructure have all led to this rising problem. Experts say that beaches like Kuta, Seminyak, and Legian are plagued by up to 60 tonnes of plastic rubbish each day. The trash is a combination of foreign waste brought to the island by the Indian Ocean's Java Sea waves and plastic from the island itself, brought to the sea by the many rivers and tributaries. Another rather depressing example of the plastic waste problem is a dead sperm whale that washed up at an Indonesian nature reserve. An autopsy of this sentient creature's stomach contents discovered 6kg of plastic waste, including 115 single-use Danone Aqua plastic cups. And then came the pandemic. With 80% of its GDP deriving from tourism revenue, Bali has experienced a crushing economic crisis, leaving tens of thousands of Balinese families desperate and starving. In early 2020, Made Janur Yasa recognised the unique opportunity presented by these two issues and knew something had to be done. So he created Bali Plastic Exchange—a sustainability movement that empowers communities to change their waste behaviour through dignity-based exchange systems. Plastic Exchange invites Balinese communities to collect all types of plastic rubbish from their local area and trade it for rice. The idea is profound and simple in equal measure since Janur believes that giving people rice does not benefit the community, as it is rescuing rather than enabling. This model, however, empowers the people of Bali to help themselves and clean up their island as a united collective. Janur's uncomplicated concept has taken flight. Just two years later, Plastic Exchange has connected with over 200 villages, collected over 700,000kg of plastic, and distributed over 170,000kg of rice to families in dire need of this staple food to survive. Since its inception, Plastic Exchange has fed over 30,000 families, and while naturally in need of ongoing awareness and support, the NGO continues to grow as the word is spread. "Within every crisis lies an opportunity" — Made Janur Yasa When we interview people, we never know what will come of the discussion; that's the beauty of having a podcast with guests. We were welcomed into Janur's home and were delighted to speak to this warmhearted, spiritual and pragmatic thinker who has dedicated his energy to the service of others. Janur received a CNN Hero Award in 2021 as recognition for his work. Such an accolade might well inflate an ego, but not this man. He speaks with humility, of community, and always of "we" (never "I"). Above all, Janur speaks of "action," as he believes "edu-action" trumps charity or straightforward education every day of the week. Having heard the man speak of this with such passion, we are inclined to agree. The How To Die Happy podcast exists to share stories and practical utilities for living and dying well. There is a solid argument that serving others through generosity and compassionate help is the epitome of what it means to live well. Whether you agree is your truth, of course. Perhaps listen to this interview, and hear for yourself. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/howtodiehappy/message

The ocean is beautiful, but there can be a lot of gross things in it. 大海很美，但裡面可能有髒東西。 Things like plastic, garbage, and… sea snot? Sea snot is what it sounds like: a gooey, slimy thing that is in the sea. Sea snot 是海裡黏糊糊的東西, 跟鼻涕一樣。 It's growing because of climate change. Climate change is causing a lot of areas in the ocean to become warmer. When this happens, tiny, little organisms that live in the water start growing out of control. 氣候變遷讓海水的溫度升高，有一些區域的有機體就大量生長。 Organisms are very, very, very small living creatures that you need a microscope to see. 有機體是很小很小的生物，用顯微鏡才看得到。 And sometimes these little organisms let out a sticky goo that gets all stuck together and this creates… sea snot. 這些微小生物有時候會分泌黏黏的液體，形成海洋鼻涕。 Even worse, sea snot traps all the garbage and gross things in the ocean in all of its stickiness. 海洋鼻涕還會黏住垃圾，變成更噁心的汙染物。 Right now, sea snot hasn't polluted all the seawater around the world, but that might change if we don't protect our planet. 目前海洋鼻涕還沒有汙染全部大海，但是不保護地球，遲早就會發生。 We need to work together to make sure we keep our Earth clean. ________________________________ Vocabulary 海洋鼻涕聽起來有點恐怖，怎麼游泳呢？ 1. Sea 海。 Seas are smaller than oceans. 海比海洋小。 For example, there's the South China Sea and the Java Sea. 比如說南海和爪哇海。 2. Ocean 大洋。 Right, and they are both part of the Pacific Ocean. 對，而它們都是太平洋的一部份。 I love the Pacific Ocean。我喜歡太平洋。 Taiwan is a big island in the Pacific. 台灣就是太平洋中的一個大島。 3. Sticky 黏黏的。 I need to take a shower. 我得去淋浴一下。 I'm all sticky. 我全身都黏黏的。 You were playing basketball? 你去打籃球了嗎？ No, I went swimming. 不，我去游泳了。 4. Garbage 垃圾。 In the river? 在河裡嗎？ There's so much garbage in the river! 河裡有好多垃圾！ I know, so I was swimming in the sea. 我知道，所以我去海裡游。 Can you use these words in your conversation? sea 海 ocean 大洋 sticky 黏黏的 garbage 垃圾 ________________________________ Quiz 1.

Boeing has acknowledged liability for the crash of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 in March 2019, in which 157 passengers and crew died. Five months earlier, another 737 Max came down in the Java Sea shortly after leaving the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. All 189 people on board Lion Air flight 610 were killed. The cause of both tragedies was a software system that fatally malfunctioned and defeated the pilots' efforts to save the aircraft.In today's episode, Simon Calder explains what went wrong with the software and the future of the aircraft, which is back in operation with carriers like Ryanair.Of course this podcast is completely free, as is my weekly travel email.

The Justice Department announced the indictment of Mark Forkner, a former Chief Technical Pilot for Boeing for his role in the 737 MAX scandal. Specifically, Forkner is charged with deceiving the FAA's Aircraft Evaluation Group (“FAA AEG”) relating to Boeing's 737 MAX airplane and defrauding Boeings U.S.-based airline customers to earn millions of dollars for Boeing.Boeing's 737 MAX scandal is tragic and disturbing. In January 2021, Boeing settled with the Justice Department and agreed to enter into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement in exchange for total payments of $2.5 billion. As you will recall, Boeing's 737 Max was involved in two crashes in 2018 and 2019 before being grounded. In October 2018, Lion Air flight 610 crashed in the Java Sea, killing 189 people, and in March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed shortly after takeoff, killing 157 people. The United States ordered the planes grounded shortly after the Ethiopian Airlines crash.In this Episode, Michael Volkov reviews the criminal indictment against Mark Forner and his role in the Boeing 737 MAX scandal.

When assessing the impacts of tradeoffs, project managers must exercise responsibility in relation to schedule, budget, quality, and compliance decisions. Additionally, one cannot turn a blind eye towards duty of care of the safety of the end user. Dr. Te Wu provides a project management perspective on what factors led to the catastrophic events surrounding the Boeing 737 Max 8 airline tragedies.

WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. I'm Wendy Grounds and here in the studio with me is Bill Yates. Today we're talking with Professor Dr. Te Wu of Montclair State University.  He's also a visiting professor at China Europe International Business School and the CEO of PMO Advisory. BILL YATES:  As a certified portfolio, program, project, and risk management professional, Te is a very active volunteer, including serving on PMI's Portfolio and Risk Management core teams, and he's a U.S. delegate on the ISO Technical Committee 258 for Project, Program, and Portfolio Management. WENDY GROUNDS:  Dr. Te Wu is also going to be speaking to us today about the Boeing 737 MAX 8 story.  He has done a lot of research on this project, based on an educational standpoint for project managers.  And he's taken a lot of lessons from that, that we can learn.  And it's a very interesting study that he's done.  So we're looking forward to digging a little deeper with him today. Hi, Te.  Welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest today. TE WU:  It's a pleasure to be here.  Thank you very much for inviting me. The Boeing 737 MAX 8 Events WENDY GROUNDS:  We're going to jump right in.  And I want to ask if you can give us some details behind the story of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 events which occurred in 2018/2019? TE WU:  Sure.  Absolutely.  The first incident or tragedy happened with Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610.  That happened October 29th, 2018, and flying a very new Boeing 737 MAX plane.  It was a domestic flight from Jakarta to Pangkal Pinang.  And it crashed about 13 minutes after taking off, crashed into the Java Sea, killing all 189 passengers and crew members.  This was the first major accident involving this new series of plane, the Boeing 737 MAX. And as you could imagine in an accident of this magnitude, it triggers a number of investigations, not only from Boeing, but from the Indonesian Air Authority.  There's a committee called Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee, KNKT, as well as of course the United States FAA, Federal Aviation Administration.  And at the time Boeing promised full cooperation with the investigation.  But even domestically you could see – I have airline friends, for example, that quite a number of fingers were pointing.  One, it happened on foreign soil.  Two, they were questioned on the rigor of training at Indonesian Lion Air.  And in some ways there were a series of, I would say, cultural mishaps trying to point toward human error than toward the potential problem with the plane. And Boeing, to be fair, probably did do a good analysis, but perhaps not good enough.  The reason I say that is less than six months later the secon...

Indonesia detected signals Jan. 10 that could be from a flight recorder of a Sriwijaya Air jet that crashed into the sea soon after taking off from the capital Jakarta, as human body parts and suspected pieces of the plane were retrieved. The Boeing 737-500, with 62 passengers and crew, was headed to Pontianak in West Kalimantan before it disappeared Jan. 9 from radar screens four minutes after takeoff. The crash is the first major airline incident in Indonesia since the crash of a Lion Air Boeing 737 Max 8 in 2018 that killed all 189 passengers and crew. Both planes plunged into the Java Sea soon after takeoff from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. “We have detected signals in two points. This could be the black box,” Bagus Puruhito, chief of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, told reporters. Flight SJ 182 had 12 crew and 50 passengers on board, all Indonesians and including seven children and three babies. There were no immediate clues on what may have caused the jet's sudden descent.

Boeing’s long and tragic scandal surrounding its 737 MAX safety concerns and FAA disclosure violations has come to an end.  DOJ announced a settlement early this year, on January 7, 2021, which included a three-year deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in exchange for total payments of $2.5 billion, consisting of: a $243.6 million criminal penalty, $1.77 billion in compensation to its airline customers, and $500 million to establish a crash victims’ beneficiary fund to compensate families of the 346 people killed in two crashes involving Boeing’s 737 Max.  The criminal information charged Boeing with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. Boeings 737 Max was involved in two crashes in 2018 and 2019 before being grounded.  In October 2018, Lion Air flight 610 crashed in the Java Sea, killing 189 people, and in March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed shortly after takeoff, killing 157 people.  The United States ordered the planes grounded shortly after the Ethiopian Airlines crash. As part of the settlement, Boeing admitted that it withheld critical information about the 737 MAX jets’ Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System and the impact it had on the plane’s flight control system. In this Episode, Michael Volkov reviews the DOJ settlement with Boeing for compliance insights, enforcement observations and overall fairness of the resolution.

Authorities have discovered the location of two black boxes from a crashed Indonesian jet, they said Sunday, referring to cockpit voice and flight data recorders that could help explain why the aircraft went down with 62 people aboard.The revelation came as divers pulled body parts, wreckage and clothing from waters off Indonesia's capital Jakarta.“We have located the position of the black boxes, both of them,” said Soerjanto Tjahjanto, head of Indonesia's transport safety agency.“Divers will start looking for them now and hopefully it won't be long before we get them.”The Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 went into a steep dive about four minutes after it left Soekarno-Hatta international airport in Jakarta on Saturday afternoon.Indonesia's President Joko Widodo expressed his “deep condolences”, and called on citizens to “pray together so that victims can be found”.But the frantic search involving helicopters and a flotilla of warships appeared to offer no hope of finding any survivors.The search and rescue agency said it had so far collected five body bags with human remains as well as debris from the crash site in the Java Sea.A piece of child's clothing, a broken tyre and wheel, life jackets and wreckage from the plane's body were found, according to authorities and AFP reporters on the scene.Among the passengers was Beben Sofian, 59, and her husband Dan Razanah, 58.“They took a selfie and sent it to their kids before taking off,” the couple's nephew Hendra told AFP.All 62 people on board, passengers and crew, were Indonesian, authorities said. The count included 10 children.Distraught relatives waited nervously for news at the airport in Pontianak, the city on Indonesia's section of Borneo island which had been flight SJ182's destination, about 90 minutes flying time over the Java Sea.“I have four family members on the flight — my wife and three children,” Yaman Zai said on Saturday evening as he sobbed.“(My wife) sent me a picture of the baby today… How could my heart not be torn into pieces?”Data from FlightRadar24 indicated that the airliner reached an altitude of nearly 11,000 feet (3,350 metres) before dropping suddenly to 250 feet. It then lost contact with air traffic control.The transport minister said Saturday that the jet appeared to deviate from its intended course just before it disappeared from radar.Poor weather, pilot error or a technical problem with the plane were potential factors, said Jakarta-based aviation analyst Gerry Soejatman.“But it's way too early to conclude anything,” he added.“After the black box is found we can start putting the puzzle together.”Sriwijaya Air, which operates flights to destinations in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, has said only that it was investigating the loss of contact.It did not immediately comment when contacted by AFP again on Sunday.– Reputation for poor safety –In October 2018, 189 people were killed when a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX jet crashed near Jakarta.That crash — and another in Ethiopia — saw Boeing hit with $2.5 billion in fines over claims it defrauded regulators overseeing the 737 MAX model, which was grounded worldwide following the two deadly crashes.The 26-year-old 737 that went down Saturday was not a MAX variant.“Our thoughts are with the crew, passengers, and their families,” Boeing said in a statement, adding that it was in contact with the airline.Indonesia's aviation sector has long had a reputation for poor safety, and its airlines were once banned from entering US and European airspace.In 2014, an AirAsia plane headed from Surabaya to Singapore crashed with the loss of 162 lives.Domestic investigators' final report on that crash said major factors included a chronically faulty component in a rudder control system, poor maintenance, and the pilots' inadequate response.A year later, in 2015, more than 140 people, including scores on the ground, were killed when a military plane crashed shortly after take-off in Medan on Sumatra island.

Today, Mari talks about the tense Pro-Trump protest in Pacific Beach and what went down. She also talks about the growing concern about the higher COVID-19 cases and deaths in Latino communities across California. But, county supervisors say they are working on a new plan to help our most vulnerable communities here in San Diego county that involves changing the way funding is distributed. Mari also has an update on that Boeing 737 jet that went down in the Java Sea.

Searchers have located the black boxes of a plane that went down off the coast of Indonesia at the weekend. There were 62 passengers and crew aboard the 26-year old Boeing 737-500 which was flown by Sriwijaya Air. The flight disappeared from radar just four minutes after takeoff, plummeting three kilometres in less than half a minute, before crashing into the Java Sea. No survivors have been found.

In 1998, Indonesian fishermen diving for sea cucumbers discovered a shipwreck off Belitung Island in the Java Sea. The ship was a Middle Eastern vessel constructed from planks sewn together with rope — and its remarkable cargo originally included around 70,000 ceramics produced in China, as well as luxurious objects of gold and silver. Whether the vessel sank because of a storm or other factors as it traversed the heart of the global trading network remains unknown. Bound for present-day Iran and Iraq, it is the earliest ship found in Southeast Asia thus far and provides proof of active maritime trade in the ninth century among China, Southeast Asia, and West Asia. In spite of its historical significance, the Tang Shipwreck's destiny has not been smooth sailing. After being salvaged from Indonesian waters, the ship and its cargo were purchased by Singapore, and soon, controversies emerged around its provenance. In this episode, Dr Natali Pearson gets on the other side of the mic and chats with Professor Michele Ford about the Tang Shipwreck, how its underwater treasures were salvaged from looting in Indonesia, and the controversies it stirred in the world of maritime cultural heritage. About Dr Natali Pearson: Natali is Curriculum Coordinator at the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre at the University of Sydney, where she is affiliated with the School of Literature, Art and Media. Her research focuses on the protection, management and interpretation of underwater cultural heritage in Southeast Asia. Natali is co-editor of Perspectives on the Past at New Mandala and a regular contributor to The Conversation. Natali has completed a PhD in Museum and Heritage Studies(2019, USYD) and is currently writing a book on underwater cultural heritage in Indonesia. You can follow Natali on Twitter @sea_greeny.

Professor Rob McLaughlin with Mr Mike Carlton & Rear Admiral James Goldrick & Dr Ian Pfennigwerth discuss the Battle of Java Sea. Produced by the Naval Studies Group in conjunction with the Submarine Institute of Australia, the Australian Naval Institute, Naval Historical Society & the RAN Seapower Centre.

Lion Air Flight 610 was a scheduled domestic flight operated by the Indonesian airline Lion Air from Soekarno–Hatta International Airport in Jakarta to Depati Amir Airport in Pangkal Pinang. On 29 October 2018, the Boeing 737 MAX operating the route crashed into the Java Sea 13 minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 passengers and crew. It was the first major accident involving the new Boeing 737 MAX series of aircraft, introduced in 2017, and the deadliest involving the Boeing 737 series, surpassing Air India Express Flight 812 in 2010. It is the deadliest accident in Lion Air's 18-year history, surpassing the 2004 crash in Surakarta that killed 25, and the second deadliest aircraft accident in Indonesia behind Garuda Indonesia Flight 152. This episode of The Cornfield Meet: Transportation Disasters podcast is brought to you by two amateur disaster historians, Michele Sargent and Mel Bee as well as Chris Haile who bring his firefighting experience and love of aviation.

The world was on fire. Evil had spread across the lands and seas like a virus, infecting everything with death and hatred. The monstrous Empires of Europe and the East seemed unbeatable and destined to victory. To win the Allies would need to try every trick in the book, use every method of war known to them. And at times even invent new methods. The more daring the more dangerous. But in a fight that could mean the end of everything, there can be no reserves, no plans too risky. Better to leave no stone unturned. Better to lose, if lose you must, having exhausted every possible or even impossible chance. The Allies in WWII knew this and in the Pacific theatre they tried every imaginable gambit.Let’s go back to beautiful Bali and the perilous Lombok Strait. Let’s go back to the hundreds of empty featureless miles of the Java Sea. To the craggy bushland and winding river training grounds of Camp X on the Hawkesbury River. Let’s go back to the crowded shipping lanes and jam-packed wharves of the Jewel of the East, Singapore itself. Let’s go back to a time when everything was on the line, freedom hung in the balance, and a few fearless men had the courage to gamble their lives in the hopes of striking the enemy a blow. Men that recognized the truth in Faulkner’s line "You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore." Let’s go back to September of 1943 and Operation Jaywick.

He has 13 straight years at sea under sail across all three oceans of the world. He’s rounded both Capes (Horn and Good Hope); racked up over 160,000 blue water miles; sailed solo across the Atlantic and through the Java Sea and Malacca Straits; and is passionate about protecting wild places for future generations.  Gavin McClurg is a Patagonia ambassador and the owner of Offshore Odysseys. In 2015, he took eighth place at the Red Bull X-Alps (the first American in the race’s history to reach the goal) and won National Geographic’s Adventurer of the Year award for his paragliding traverse of the Canadian Rockies with Will Gadd. When he’s not sailing or flying Gavin calls Ketchum, Idaho home.      

Do you think the world is unraveling? Because that's what God says. Through life's mysterious working, @IreneMarie was lead to co-found the Foundation of Heaven, a small group called to do the work of God. Receiving messages through a channel, they journeyed to the Java Sea in 2011 to open the Vortex between the World of Light, home to the Illuminated Beings, and our human earth. God asked for his Heaven under the Sea to be revealed at this time because it contains the information needed to save human race. Tune in to hear more of this fascinating journey.

In the five days since Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed a few minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people aboard, regulators around the world have grounded the Boeing 737 MAX 8. That's a reaction to the fact that the circumstances of this disaster match those of Lion Air Flight 610, another 737 MAX 8, which crashed into the Java Sea in October, killing all 189 occupants.

LONDON — Roughly two-thirds of the world, including South Africa have grounded the Boeing 737 Max as airlines see a connection between the crash of an Ethiopian Airline jet that killed 157 people and a similar disaster involving the same plane last October in which 189 people were killed when a Lion Air flight crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia. Yet, America’s Federal Aviation Authority decided not to take action and said it had no basis to order the grounding of the aircraft. This is despite pressure from several senior politicians in the US and two unions representing flight attendants calling for it. The New York Times says there is a very cosy relationship between Boeing and the FAA, and Boeing could even choose its own employees to sit on the authority and help to certify planes. President Donald Trump initially tweeted that he thought aeroplanes were becoming far too complex to fly, “Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT”, he tweeted after the Ethiopian crash. He has a very close relationship with Boeing and the FAA decision on standing by the safety of the Boeing 737 Max came after a telephone conversation between President Trump and Boeing Chief Dennis Muilenburg. This raises the question whether Boeing’s influence at the FAA is the reason for the United States’ decision to keep the Boeing 737 Max in the air raising serious safety concerns for passengers who are likely to choose not to fly on the jet. Bloomberg’s Jim Alice explains to Carol Massar how important the Boeing 737 Max is to Boeing’s profitability… - Linda van Tilburg  

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Professor Bijan Vasigh, a professor of air transportation at Embrey-Riddle University, an expert on aviation issues, a consultant to some of the biggest airlines in the world, and the author of dozens of academic papers and books.The Chinese government has ordered all of the country’s airlines to ground their Boeing 737s after one of the jets belonging to Ethiopian Airlines crash after takeoff over the weekend, killing all 157 people on board. A Lion Air 737 crashed five months ago into the Java Sea shortly after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board. Is there something fundamentally wrong with the new 737? Unpublished video footage obtained by the New York Times contradicts claims by the Trump Administration that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was responsible for lighting a convoy of humanitarian aid on fire. Vice President Pence tweeted over the weekend, “The tyrant in Caracas danced as his henchmen burned food and medicine.” The truth, however, is that members of the US-backed opposition accidentally started the fire with a Molotov cocktail. Dan Cohen, a journalist and a documentary filmmaker, most recently of the film Killing Gaza, joins the show. One member of the recent Code Pink peace delegation to Iran, David Hartsough, upon landing in Iran, had what doctors usually call a “cardiac episode.” That required emergency treatment and an angioplasty in an Iranian hospital. The hosts will talk about medical care in Iran and about President Rouhani’s trip to Iraq to try to blunt the effect of sanctions. Brian and John speak with David Hartsough, cofounder of World Beyond War and the Nonviolent Peaceforce, and author of the book “Waging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist.” A British organization called The Charity Commission this week accused the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission of anti-Semitism and challenged its legal structure, saying that it was designed to support terrorism. The charge, of course, is ridiculous. But it points to a trend whereby people and organizations that support the rights of Palestinians are somehow anti-Semitic and support terrorism. Massoud Shadjareh, founder of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, joins the show. Monday’s segment “Education for Liberation with Bill Ayers” is where Bill helps us look at the state of education across the country. What’s happening in our schools, colleges, and universities, and what impact does it have on the world around us? Bill Ayers, an activist, educator and the author of the book “Demand the Impossible: A Radical Manifesto,” joins Brian and John. Hawaii Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard conducted a nationally-televised town hall meeting on CNN last night in which she answered several tough questions that set her apart from other Democratic candidates. Meanwhile, Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, continued to be the target of attacks because of her comments on foreign influence in American politics and the legacy of President Obama. Dan Kovalik, a human rights and labor lawyer who is the author of the book “The Plot to Control the World: How the US Spent Billions to Change the Outcome of Elections Around the World,” joins the show.Monday’s regular segment Technology Rules with Chris Garaffa is a weekly guide on how monopoly corporations and the national surveillance state are threatening cherished freedoms, civil rights and civil liberties. Web developer and technologist Chris Garaffa joins the show.

From CBS News: For the first time, a new network of satellites will soon be able to track all commercial airplanes in real time, anywhere on the planet. Currently, planes are largely tracked by radar on the ground, which doesn’t work over much of the world’s oceans. The final 10 satellites were launched Friday to wrap up the $3 billion effort to replace 66 aging communication satellites, reports CBS News’ Kris Van Cleave, who got an early look at the new technology. On any given day, 43,000 planes are in the sky in America alone. When these planes take off, they are tracked by radar and are equipped with a GPS transponder. All commercial flights operating in the U.S. and Europe have to have them by 2020. It’s that transponder that talks to these new satellites, making it possible to know exactly where more than 10,000 flights currently flying are. Tucked inside the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that was blasted into space on Friday are 10 advanced Iridium Communications satellites, each the size of a Mini Cooper. Once active, they’ll power satellite phone communications, space-based broadband and carry a device which will solve an issue that’s plagued aviation for decades. “Seventy percent of the world’s airspace has no surveillance. Aircraft fly over the oceans and report back their positions to air traffic control every 10 to 15 minutes at best and in between those periods, no one knows where they are,” said Aireon CEO Don Thoma. Aireon, based in McLean, Virginia, was developing the technology to change that even before Mayalasia Airlines flight MH370 vanished over the Indian Ocean in March 2014. But a Boeing 777 with 239 aboard disappearing was a wake-up call, prompting years of safety experts demanding change. “I can find my kids by pinging their iPhone. We shouldn’t have aircraft that disappear anywhere in the world today,” former National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Debbie Herman said back in 2016. To make that happen, the Aireon technology is hitching a ride to space as part of the largest technology swap the universe has ever seen. Iridium is replacing its existing constellation of 66 satellites and 9 spares orbiting the earth built and launched in the mid-90s. Walt Everetts help designed the first generation of Iridium satellites, naming two of them after his sons Nicholas and Andrew. He’ll be in the company’s command center outside Washington, D.C. as his team maneuvers the new satellites into place, simultaneously powering on the new and devastating old. The legacy satellites will then be moved out of orbit where they’ll burn up in the earth’s atmosphere. “It’s kind of like changing a tire on a bus going 17,000 miles per hour,” said Walt Everetts, vice president of satellite operations for Iridium. “With these new satellites that we’re putting up, we have more capacity, more processing capability, more memory … so we are taking an old flip phone and upgrading it into a smartphone.” While not fully complete, the updated network circling the globe 485 miles overhead is already tracking planes. Aireon was able to instantly confirm the last known location of Lion Air Flight 610, the Boeing 737 Max that crashed in the Java Sea last October. “With the Iridium-Aireon system, every airplane is in reach of an air traffic controller … so no matter what happened to that airplane we would know within seconds of where that airplane was,” Iridium CEO Matt Desch said. The technology may also make it possible for air traffic controllers to allow more flights to be in the air at the same time on busy routes over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It could also allow for more direct flight paths, which means more flights, the potential for fewer delays, and shorter flights to places like Europe. From Aerion’s website: ADS-B is an air traffic surveillance technology that relies on aircraft broadcasting their identity, a precise Global Positioning System (GPS) position and other information derived from on-board systems. The data is broadcast every half a second from the aircraft, and is being used by Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) to identify and separate aircraft in real-time.

Today we are joined in studio by Lisa NIziolek and we learn more about her research on the Field Museum’s collection of the Java Sea Seawreck.

One of my first guests was Jeffrey Cox, we discussed in length the Java Sea campaign in episode 14. Jeff has been busy for the last couple of years writing his follow up book Morning Star, Midnight Sun – The Early Guadalcanal-Solomons Campaign of World War Two. So I asked Jeff back to discuss the campaign. Jeff and I talked for nearly three hours, so whilst the podcast is trimmed to keep us on message if you want some more why not become a patron and have another 30min of us talking what he's unto next and torpedos!

In this episode we’re looking at the Java Sea Campaign, with Jeffrey Cox. Jeff’s book Rising Sun, Falling Skies: The disastrous Java Sea Campaign of World War II from Osprey publishing, examines the events following Pearl Harbor. In their own lighting offensive the Japanese attacked Singapore, the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. The Allies reeled against the well planned assaults, struggling to hit back with any useful resistance in the first major sea battles of the war in the Pacific.

Decorated Ace Fighter Pilot James B. Morehead saw action in both the Atlantic and Pacific regions of World War II. Nicknamed Wildman for his daring attacks, he downed eight enemy planes, earning two Distinguished Service Crosses - second only to the Medal of Honor. He attributes much of his aerial success to his passion for hunting, which gave him the knowledge and skills to complete his missions.
