The Cessna never moved from the path of the PSA flight. It kept flying in front of PSA 182. Investigators wondered how veteran pilots of Boeing 727 failed to see the Cessna. The NTSB then conducted a study to see what the visual point for the PSA pilots was. They discover that the pilots often adjusted their seats to positions which made them feel comfortable, instead of adjusting their seats to the position designed by reference view position. This gave the PSA pilots about five to ten seconds to spot the Cessna. If they had adjusted their seats to the reference view position then they would have had about a hundred and seventy seconds to see the Cessna. The 727 crew had the Cessna in a blind spot. The Air traffic controller assumed that the pilots had a clear view of the Cessna. The investigators now listen to separate recordings of the pilot and the air traffic controller to understand why the captain did not explain his situation about the Cessna in a much better manner to the air traffic controller. They make a starting discovery. Minutes before the crash the captain realizes he cannot spot the Cessna anymore. He contacts the air traffic controller and says “I think the Cessna has passed on to our right”. But the controller hears that as “I think he’s passing on to our right”, to which the air traffic controller says “yes”. If the controller had heard “passed off” he would see his

In his analysis, Fraustino tries to explain this by saying that the taxi’s arrival may have been prearranged, since Mrs. Drover said that she intended to call for one (486). However, shortly after she says that, she remembers that the telephone had been cut off (Bowen 163). The most logical explanation for the near impossible knowledge that the fiancé has would be that he did die in the war and has come back as a spirit to make Mrs. Drover keep the “unnatural promise” (Bowen 162) that she made to him by killing her so that she would be with him forever in the

The car accident consisted of the grandmother, her son, grandkids, and daughter in law. The Misfit and his acquaintances were able to catch the whole accident from the woods (O’Connor 290). They; however, saw the accident because O 'Connor stated, “as if the occupants were watching them” (O’Connor 290). Obviously, they were watching because the family was going to be their target. The family was indeed going to be the next victims because the Misfit was evil.

The aircraft was “missing” from the screen of the men watching the many planes flying in the same direction in Ireland at around 8:14 (national geographic). The men in Ireland knew that it could have been a high-risk flight, so they called it in as missing within one minute when it normally would have been called in after 20 minutes of disappearing from the screen. At 12 pm that same day over 100 bodies were found in the ocean. Many were found in and around cork Ireland. Surprisingly Canadian owned cargo ships were the ones to have found the victims.
