Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center

Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center is a passenger rail station and transportation center in Santa Ana, California. It is used by Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner and Metrolink's Orange County Line and Inland Empire-Orange County Line trains. It is also a Greyhound station and a hub for the Orange County Transportation Authority bus system as well as a terminal for several Mexican bus tour companies.

When the station opened on September 7, 1985 it was the largest new rail station built in the United States since the completion of the New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal circa 1955. The center was erected on the site of a former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway combination depot that had been constructed in 1939 and closed in 1982. The station, which cost approximately $17 million, was funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, California Department of Transportation, and city.

The station was designed by the architectural firm of The Blurock Partnership (from Newport Beach), in the Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean Revival architectural styles to complement the region’s older buildings. Features include red barrel roof tiles, arcades, colonnades, exterior walls finished to resemble stucco, and the extensive use of painted tiles for decoration.

Owaraha

Owaraha or Owa Raha (also known as Santa Ana) is an island in the Solomon Islands; it is located in Makira-Ulawa Province.

Description

This relatively small coral island is 5,6 km long and 4, 5 km wide. It is located at the eastern end of Makira (San Cristobal), separated from it by a 7,5 km wide strait, and just north of smaller Owariki (Santa Catalina). The sound between Owaraha and Owariki is only 2.5 km wide. The island has two main villages Gupuna (or Ghupuna) and Nafinotoga. The inhabitants of Owaraha speak the Owa language and share the same culture with the people in Owariki and in the eastern end of Makira Island. The Pagewa and Aiga Tatari clans of Owaraha and other nearby islands claim descent from the refugees from Teonimanu which was washed away.

History

First recorded sighting by Europeans was by the Spanish expedition of Álvaro de Mendaña on 4 July 1568. More precisely the sighting and also landing in Owahara was due to a local voyage done by a small boat, in the accounts the brigantine Santiago, commanded by Francisco Muñoz Rico and having Hernán Gallego as pilot. They charted it as Santa Ana.

All Nippon Airways Flight 58

All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight 58 was a Boeing 727-281 airliner, registration JA8329, that collided with a Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) Mitsubishi F-86F Sabre, registration 92-7932, while en route from Chitose Airport in Sapporo to Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) in Tokyo on 30 July 1971 at 2:04 local time. All 162 of those on board the Boeing 727 died. The pilot and sole occupant of the F-86, a trainee with the JASDF, ejected from his aircraft shortly before the collision and survived. The collision occurred over Shizukuishi, Iwate Prefecture.

Description

Flight 58 departed Sapporo for a domestic flight to Tokyo-Haneda (HND) climbing to FL280. Meanwhile, a 22-year-old JASDF trainee, Yoshimi Ichikawa (市川良美, Ichikawa Yoshimi), and his instructor, Captain Tamotsu Kuma (隈太茂津, Kuma Tamotsu), were practicing air combat manoeuvres in their F-86 fighters. Ichikawa, who had not been watching for traffic, was instructed to break away from the 727 as it approached, but he could not avoid the accident. The leading edge of the F-86's right wing struck the left horizontal stabilizer of the Boeing 727, causing the airliner to enter a steep dive and disintegrate in mid-air, impacting near the town of Shizukuishi. The wing of the F-86 broke off and the pilot ejected safely.
