This Boeing 767-260ER belonging to Ethiopian Airlines was en route from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to Nairobi, Kenya, on November 23rd 1996. 172 passengers and crew were onboard. The plane was hijacked by three Ethiopians seeking political asylum in Australia, and asking the crew to fly to Australia. The pilot explained they had only taken on the fuel needed for the scheduled flight and thus could not even make a quarter of the journey, but the hijackers did not believe him. The pilot secretly headed for the Comoro Islands, which lie midway between Madagascar and the African mainland. The plane eventually ran out of fuel. A fight with the hijackers prevented the crew to land on Comores aiport. The pilot tried to ditch the aircraft in shallow waters 500 metres off the coast. The plane left engine and wingtip struck the water first. The left engine then struck a coral reef, slowing that side of the aircraft quickly, causing the Boeing 767 to violently spin left and break apart. 122 of the 172 people on board were killed, along with the hijackers. The other 50 survived with injuries.

Car Accident
IA following a friend back because he wanted to show us a new way back to campus. the road was very hilly and curvy like most roads. I had told him to slow down and watch what he was doing, not listening he kept going fast, went over a hill and then noticed a sharp curve ahead that was unmarked. We missed the curve went down into the ditch hit a driveway causing us to get air-born and land at the top of a hill. the car didnt stop there it continued to roll down the hill and had finally stopped upside down after rolling 6 to 9 times. I myself do not remember any part of the accident except going into the ditch and the last time the car had rolled. After my boyfriend had gotten out and helped me out the only window that had a big enough opening we walked around and noticed everything that was in my car was now scattered throughout the area. If we hadnt been wearing seat belt we would most likely have been scattered in the field and road with everything else.

Recenat Car Accident Articles on Car Accident Diagnosis and Treatment
Browsing recent car accident articles you may notice an overwhelming bias towards articles that may be considered "pro-auto accident victim." The reason fro this stems from the fact that there are many scientific medical articles that have proven that whiplash or car accident neck and back injuries are quite prevalent and can be serious.
This is despite the auto insurance industries best effort to paint these injuries as nothing more than superficial soft tissue injuries. In fact the standard response of most carriers these days is to deny that these injuries require anything more than minimal first aid care.
But is there any support for this hard line position? The answer is decidedly 'no." The "anti-car accident injury" crowd has failed to publish any meaningful studies in peer reviewed medical or scientific journals to prove their claims. The studies that are cited are rife with problems in their methodology and cannot be published in any premiere journals. Some articles are so biased as to contain data that would suggest whiplash or car accident injuries are credible, yet their conclusions state otherwise. It appears they understand that many readers just skim the conclusion and do not venture into the body of these articles.
Car accident victims and the specialists that treat them and represent them legally all agree that these injuries are all too real and cause considerable disruption of the victim’s life and often result in long-term pain and disability. In fact, one study found that upwards of 40% of all whiplash injuries result in chronic pain and impairment even with adequate car accident treatment. Untreated and improperly treated cases fare even worse.
Another recent car accident article in a prestigious medical journal reported that 47% of side impact collisions result in some form of brain injury. Brain injuries, even when mild, often lead to long-term headaches, pain, and loss of mental acuity. These injuries have also been linked to later onset of Alzheimer’s and Fibromyalgia.
Recent car accident articles overwhelmingly prove what you, the car accident injury victim already knows; whiplash injuries are painful and must be taken seriously.
