@OnDisasters Wow that’d make me blush if I did that in a flight sim! 😬

Remember the C-130 crash in Colombia a month ago and killed 24 and left 43 injured? News reports indicated the pilots were arrested after the preliminary report came out. Given the outcome, the preliminary report pointed to pilot actions, along with runway conditions and weather, underlining there were no mechanical issues with the aircraft. Key findings from the investigation include: No mechanical failures contributed to the accident. The aircraft departed Viru Viru bound for El Alto. Weather conditions at the destination deteriorated en route, with storms and hail reported, but the crew received no weather updates. On arrival at El Alto, the crew was cleared to land on runway 10. Due to convective activity on that runway, they opted to approach runway 28 instead. Runway 28 is located at 13,300 ft elevation, measures 4,000 m in length, and has a negative gradient of 1.55%. METAR data indicated winds between 050°/10 kt and 360°/08 kt. According to the Investigators, the approach was conducted above the glide slope and at excessive speed. The aircraft touched down on the nose gear only, approximately 1,200 m beyond the threshold. Without compression of the main landing gear struts, the brakes and thrust reversers remained unavailable. Once the main gear touched down, the aircraft entered a section of runway contaminated by hail and slush, resulting in hydroplaning in the final third of the runway, an overrun, and the accident.

@Martin_Adams @JamesMelville Character building

@JamesMelville I'm always fascinated by single track roads with blind corners where you're allowed to go 60mph

“Thousands of Brits have backed a call to halve the national speed limit from 60mph to 30mph on single carriageway roads.” This is absolutely ridiculous for so many different reasons.

@bushontheradio Generational head loss. Behave yourself.

I never thought I'd be saying this but I genuinely think it's time to retire cheese and onion crisps. No one eats them any more, a flavour from a bygone era. Time for another combo to enter the variety bag elite.

You go to work for 40 years (I'm currently at 42). You’re forced into auto‑enrolment. You play by the rules, you save into a pension on the promise it’s yours. Then Labour strolls in, waves through a law that lets ministers tell your scheme where to gamble those savings – not for your benefit, but to prop up their economic “strategy” and vanity infrastructure schemes that the market won’t fund. This isn’t prudence. It isn’t “modernisation”. It is a straightforward transfer of control from the saver to the state. Hands off our pensions. Share this before they pretend nobody noticed.

@webber_69 @greateranglia Great fun that right! And then the guard and driver had to find out from Trainline 😂

@greateranglia You left us sitting on the 5.30 until 7.15 then kicked us off , utter disgrace

@dshensmith @QcWynter Never mind the myriad of professional qualifications which were easily verifiable and undoubtedly more relevant that my GCSE Geography exam which had sat idly by these last few decades!

@dshensmith @QcWynter After some 25 years work experience in the big bad world a new employer was absolutely insistent that I provide official proof of my (frankly barely adequate)GCSE grades from the mid nineties. For which during the interview process they had not asked about the subjects or grades!

All prompts the question, "how far back in one's history is it safe to make stuff up"? From my own experience of reading/considering 1000s of CVs & comparing them to the individuals who have then appeared before me, I would say the only safe things to fiddle are GCSEs & A levels.

@ChuckMurison You need to turn left buddy.

@MCCCANM Is this a joke. On a passenger plane you can’t move your seat. This has to be engagement farming garbage

Power Banks on airplanes worry me the most. Never pack them in a checked bag. The cargo compartment has a fire detection system, and a gas fire suppression system (like halon, but I don’t recall if that’s it). Still, we can’t get into it in flight to fight a fire. For carry on, pack it where it’s easily accessible. The idea will be to remove it & put it in a “fire bag” which are pretty effective at containing battery fires. That’s harder to do if you’ve packed it beneath a bunch of stuff that may now also be on fire. If you drop your phone in the seat & can’t find it, do NOT move your seat. You may crunch the phone & ignite the battery. Ask a Flight Attendant for assistance. A cabin fire is at the top of most of our worst nightmares. The Oxygen masks won’t drop – they don’t seal, so it won’t keep smoke out & now we’re feeding pure oxygen to a fire. We’ll be diverting immediately, but it will take time to get on the ground. If the smoke gets too bad, we can “dump” the cabin pressure if needed & clear it out pretty quickly, but that’s a last resort & wont work well below 10,000’ or so. I’ve been told China is starting to ban power banks on airplanes. We may eventually get to that point here. If you have to bring one, make sure it’s in good condition. If you have one of those suitcases with a built in battery, just be aware you’ll have to remove it before checking your bag. If it’s carry on, make sure you can get it out of the bag quickly if needed. Thank you & fly safe!

@DJSnM Going there again on Wednesday, being that close to Atlantis is special. As is spending some time downstairs with the Challenger and Columbia memorials.

I know a lot of space fans are still on the space coast and planning to go to KSC Visitors center, which is absolutely worth your time. And as 'Mr Manley' I just want to make it perfectly clear that it's perfectly acceptable to get teary eyed when visiting Atlantis. (but if you're really sensitive about your masculinity or, just don't have time for the big reveal you can always enter via the gift shop to soften the impact)

@westhamnetwork Marco has bought one of Danny’s caravans! 😂

Who in your opinion is the worst West Ham striker we have signed ?

@535zi @KILLTOPARTY Getting rattled more than a shit house door! 🤣

@KILLTOPARTY If she’s not fucking you, she’s fucking someone else, bro. She travels for work and goes out of town !!?? 🤣🤣

I AM DONE HAVING SEX

@90sPlayers That service from Trev!

Di Canio vs Wimbledon is one of the greatest Premier League goals

@TravelexUK These are the options I get... all the way down to Aberdeen..

Hey @TravelexUK how come I can click and collect currency from every airport in the UK apart from Heathrow? You aren't trying to do the dirty on me and rip me off with an airport rate when I get there are you? 🤔

@GP_Presss Is the dramatic banked turn in the room with us now?

@jamiebsmith Needs to get in a cab and take a ride down the road to find them 😁

@JSS779 I’ve not seen many Etihad planes at DXB

Never have I read an analysis that is so right but so wrong at the same time. This guy may be able to assess war threat but clearly knows nothing about aviation and how the ME hubs operate.

@coinfessions 100x leverage fixes this

Sold everything I own to buy every dip. And I mean EVERYTHING. Collectibles - sold, car - sold, house - sold. Now I’m homeless, carless, and am down $82k. Only $15k of memecoins left and praying for a miracle.

@PentecostJesse Da fuq did I just read 🤣🤣

@murkymurkmurk @9mmsmg Her miscarried fetuses she queefed out and got stuck down there.

I had never actually seen My 600 Lb Life before. A random clip or two. I started watching it and my God is it fascinating. One lady was over 600 lbs and the doctor put her on a 1200 calorie a day diet. He had expected her to be down 120 lbs in three months. He weighs her and she gained 12 lbs. Insane show.

@MarcherReborn @spectatorindex Tough probation period, barely time to do all the HR mandated courses. Lad has his work cut out.

@spectatorindex I’ll give him 48hrs max

MOJTABA KHAMENEI Senior Israeli officials have assessed that Iran will announce Khamenei's son Mojtaba as his successor, according to Israel's Ynet news. Meanwhile, Iran International reports that he has already been elected leader 'under pressure from the Revolutionary Guards'.
