@bmay The British public put the Torries into power for 14 years (although the last 4 years are due to the Labour Party that gave us Corbyn as an alternative) and gave us BREXIT, and the Torries gave us the likes of Truss and Sunak - being true to their nature - "outlaws" and "robbers"

Chris Patten, the sort of intelligent, morally-driven Tory that was permanently ostracised under the Johnson clownshow, has committed another murder. He’s so angry he even swears twice. I could watch this all day. Absolutely superb, as always. 👏

Kier Starmer, what are you proposing to do with the Pension Lifetime allowance? #bbcqt

Today (15/5/2024), our HEALTHY SAILING partners are convening in Athens and #remotely to delve into the outcomes of our recent Internal Review meeting and put the finishing touches on our interim progress report.

@PeteApps They must have been given a deadline to reply? So the Inquiry must have some idea of when the report will be published.

Once again - I think this is an element of the inquiry's act which should go. Parties gave opening + closing statements and witness evidence. That's enough. This just provides an open door to delay and obfuscate, which is enormously difficult for affected families to endure

Very disappointing update from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, revealing a further delay to the publication of the Phase Two report. It will not be ready before the 7th anniversary and no new date has been given for its publication grenfelltowerinquiry.org.uk/news/april-202…

@SteveMcfirerisk @Enrico_Evac @EvacuationModel HI Steve, does anyone know how to find the full report, not the HO 'summary'. As this is publicly funded work on residential building safety, I would expect to see the full report, not a filtered HO summary. Not possible to properly assess the research without the full report.

@martyn_amos Many thanks Martyn. It's very exciting, imagine what impact 17 PhD students could have on future developments.

@DrSofiaStathi Many thanks Sofia, there is so much we can achieve, it's really going to be exciting and challenging.

@evacguy That's absolutely amazing, Ed! Congratulations to you and your fantastic team! I look forward to seeing all the developments :)

I am delighted to announce that Research England has awarded the Fire Safety Engineering Group and colleagues at the UoG just over £9 million for our research proposal, ‘Multi-Scale, Multi-disciplinary Modelling for Impact’ (M34Impact). More info at: linkedin.com/posts/ed-galea…

The evac of JAL A350 was not a miracle, but it's miraculous no one was seriously injured, especially those using exit L4. Apologies to Lt Chard from the film Zulu, “If it's a miracle, Colour Sergeant, it's a crew, passenger self-discipline, aircraft design, and lady luck miracle”

Quite impressive. It would have reached a limiting velocity and probably fell into spongy soft grass, but who makes that protective case?

iPhone that fell from Alaska Airlines flight 1282 survived a 16,000 feet drop

In aircraft evacuation every second counts, so the 18 minutes before the last person on board the JAL A350 at Haneda airport evacuated feels like an eternity. What can we learn? For a detailed analysis of the evacuation read my LinkedIn article. linkedin.com/pulse/closer-l…
