...Angeles warehouse where Howard Hughes built his airplanes some 70 years earlier, James Cameron, in a hockey jersey and jeans, was doing something élite directors do not do - holding a camera. "Why can't I see anything?" he yelled from an apparently empty warehouse floor to a small crew huddled over computer monitors in a corner. "Oh, oh, oh, I'm in the monster's head!" Cameron backed up, and a peek through his camera lens revealed blackness giving way to a thick and vivid rain forest where a tall, blue, alien version of Sigourney Weaver was battling...

...fine to be killed in one's sleep," the Assassins crew responded in an e-mail. "It is not ok to enter someone's room with a key that is not yours to have at any point of the day.

After streaking through blackness for seven seconds at a speed of 420 ft. per second, the plane's collision-avoidance system audibly warned the crew to climb four times in quick succession.

Video recorded aboard the doomed plane and evidence gleaned from the wreckage showed the crew did nothing to avoid the mountain or try to eject...

...investigation cited the wrong altitude for the lake bed as the key reason for the crash (neither officer aboard the second F-15E was named in the probe) but spelled out several contributing factors. The crew was tired - wearing night-vision goggles increases eyestrain and fatigue - and crashed at 2:30 a.m., the sleepiest time in the human sleep cycle. Night-vision goggles reduce depth perception, especially when there's little ambient light and the ground is flat and barren. The crew "channelized" its attention on the attack run, ignoring warning signs that danger was imminent. Finally, "expectancy" played...
