Accident
Date February 12, 2009 (2009-02-12)
Summary Stalled during landing approach; crashed into house

Colgan Air Flight 3407, marketed as Continental Connection under a codeshare agreement with Continental Airlines, was a scheduled passenger flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Buffalo, New York, which crashed on February 12, 2009.
The aircraft, a Bombardier Dash-8 Q400, entered an aerodynamic stall from which it did not recover and crashed into a house in Clarence Center, New York at 10:17 p.m. EST (03:17 UTC), killing all 49 passengers and crew on board, as well as one person inside the house.

The National Transportation Safety Board conducted the accident investigation and published a final report on February 2, 2010, which found the probable cause to be the pilots' inappropriate response to the stall warnings.
As of 2018, Flight 3407 is the most recent aviation incident resulting in mass casualties involving a U.S.-based airline.

Families of the accident victims lobbied the U.S. Congress to enact more stringent regulations for regional carriers, and to improve the scrutiny of safe operating procedures and the working conditions of pilots.
Although it did nothing to address the specific causes of the crash – improper stall recovery technique and pilot fatigue – the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administrative Extension Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-216) required some of these regulation changes

United Airlines: Doctor dragged off Flight 3411 speaks out after the incident.

The passenger who was violently dragged off his seat on a United Airlines plane, sparking widespread outrage on social media, has spoken out about the incident for the first time.

David Dao, a 69-year-old doctor from Kentucky, confirmed he was the man in the viral videos, which showed him bleeding from his mouth after law enforcement officers tried to remove him from the overbooked flight.



Dr Dao is receiving treatment in a Chicago hospital. Speaking to WLKY, a local cable TV channel, he said “everything” was injured, and that he was not doing well.

The unit on arrival at East Grinstead, 17 January 2009. The wooden item in the secondman's side cab window is a shoe paddle, used for lifting and isolating the electrical collector shoegear in an emergency. It is placed in the window to denote that the handbrake is applied in this cab. (Derek Hayward)
Class 423 4 Vep unit number 3417 named 'Gordon Pettitt' was formally handed over by South West Trains to the Bluebell Railway on Saturday 17 January 2009 at a ceremony at East Grinstead.
The speakers were Roy Watts (BPRS Chairman), Mac Macintosh (former Engineering Director SWT), Gordon Pettitt (former General Manager of the Southern Region of British Rail), Ginnie Waddingham (Mayor of East Grinstead), and Graham Flight (Chairman of The Bluebell Railway PLC).

The unit remains in Bluebell Railway plc ownership, but as of May 2012 has been in the care of The Southern Electric Traction Group.
This was founded in 2009 by staff members of South West Trains based at Wimbledon Park depot.
A long-term loan agreement exists with the Bluebell Railway for SETG to provide specialist operational and technical knowledge to ensure the long-term future of 4VEP No. 3417, with the aim being to return the unit to mainline operation.

Corning 3419 Permeable Supports, 100mmDish/0.4um; 12/Cs

Available in three membrane materials and three pore sizes, these permeable supports satisfy your diverse cell culture requirements. A suspended design prevents media wicking between the insert and the plate well. It also allows for co-culturing without damaging cells attached to the plate's growth surface. Openings in the insert wall permit pipet access to the plate well.
Choose either a polycarbonate (PC), polyester, or PTFE collagen-coated membrane. PC and polyester membranes are cell culture treated for optimal cell attachment. PC membranes are compatible with most organic fixatives and stains. Transparent polyester membranes provide excellent cell visibility, assessment of cell viability, and monolayer formation using phase contrast microscopy.
PTFE collagen-coated membranes are biologically stable and provide a consistent matrix that retains the membrane's porosity. The collagen coating promotes cell attachment and spreading, and allows cells to be viewed while being cultured.
Supports some sterile and preloaded in Cluster plates or dishes.

Warning: This product is not approved or intended for, and should not be used for medical, clinical, surgical or other patient oriented applications.

picoscope 3424 and drivers

• I am considering the 3424 in an application where I would I would like to measure 4 waveforms simultaneously, with each requiring 12 bit resolution and a bandwidth of 50kHz. probably at a repetition rate of <1KHz.
  
  It is important that all channels are updated at the same time. Is this the case for the 3424.
  
  Additionally I will be using Agilent VEE, version 7.0, with regard to this do you supply appropriate drivers with the scope for VEE.
  
  Cheers

    David,
    
    For your application the PS3424 would work extremely well. The specifications for this unit fall well within what you are trying to do. All channels will be updated at the same time like you need. We provide VEE examples for almost all of our products. Simply download the software and follow the steps outlined at http://www.picotech.com/drivers.html to install the examples for the PS3424 to view what is available. Thanks for your interests David and if you have any questions after receiving your scope feel free to post them here.
    
    Regards,
