@fl360aero Shouldn’t they be more concerned with death by drug violence?

Panic moments on an Avianca flight after two failed landing attempts. Visuals of some crying and others suffering panic attacks during the incident. An Avianca flight operating the Bogotá–Pasto route encountered issues on the morning of May 26 due to weather conditions and low visibility at Antonio Nariño Airport in Pasto. The aircraft attempted to land twice, but the pilot had to Go-around and return to El Dorado Airport in Bogotá. Hours later, the flight resumed its journey and managed to land without further incidents. #flight #aircraft #airlines

I was struggling to understand the size of the Ferrari Luce but it makes sense now I've been able to use the industry standard metric of one Pope.

@karenertl643 @Chicago_History So you witnessed one tragedy and part of another.

@Chicago_History I remember that tragedy. I had just picked up a brand new AMC car.

Today we remember American Airlines Flight 191 that crashed moments after takeoff from Chicago’s O'Hare International Airport killing all 271 on board and two people on the ground on May 25, 1979. The aircraft was beginning its takeoff rotation, engine number one (the left engine) separated from the left wing, flipping over the top of the wing and landing on the runway. The aircraft rolled to the left and crashed in a field next to the runway. The disaster is the deadliest aviation accident on US soil. I remember being at work, I wasn't too far from the airport, and we could see black smoke and hear the sirens. Today, that runway is gone and 47 years later, the crash site near O’Hare International Airport is slated to become of part of a tollway. The families of the 273 people killed are pushing for a memorial marker there. #ChicagoHistory ☑️

@racepluscom @wearetherace I'm with Max. All of this hybridization is stupid. This isn't some video game with a boost button. Make these cars simple again and let this be about driving and not game playing. No place for a Prius.

@MV33Racing I became a Max fan because I hated Lewis. I’m a Kimi fan now because I dislike George. I’m a fan of anyone that disrupts those drivers I don’t like.

@fl360aero Did they play the Jet2 Holiday jingle as they prepared for the emergency landing?

Jet2 stated, “At no point was safety compromised, and customers subsequently continued their journey" after one of its Airbus A321-251NX aircraft (G-SUNC) from Tenerife (TFS) to Birmingham (BHX) was forced to make an emergency landing in Portugal after pilot incapacitation incident. The Flight LS1266 was diverted to Porto late Thursday night after the captain reportedly began feeling ill (suffered a suspected heart attack) while the aircraft was cruising at 30,000 feet. Cabin crew urgently searched the cabin for any medical professionals among passengers who could assist. According to the passengers, the aircraft went through a sudden descent as the crew prepared for the emergency landing, which took place at Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport at around 2.11am on Friday. Jet2: “Flight LS1266 from Tenerife to Birmingham diverted to Porto on Thursday (21st May), due to one of the pilots feeling unwell. “We would like to apologize to customers for this unforeseen delay.” #pilotlife #aircraft

@HTBullionSpeaks @Turbinetraveler I think airlines are migrating to long range narrows for those longer routes. Between larger 737s and the shorter 787, what is the point of the 757/767?

It’s still early in the cycle for the U.S. majors and the current operators of the 777-300ER, AA and UA, have all the airplanes in the capacity class that they need. What the U.S. carriers actually need are small widebody jets which nobody is offering at this time. There are no aircraft available in the 757-200 to 767-300ER size class with intercontinental range.

So let this sink in: Boeing has 619 orders for the 777-8, 777-9, and 777-8F combined - yet not a single one comes from a US airline.

@Chicago_History Barnaby’s for me!

@Osinttechnical What are the really large spots to the east that appear to be forest?

Ukrainian attack drones successfully hit a major Russian oil storage facility in the hills above Novorossiysk tonight, setting it ablaze. A massive fire has been reported at the Grushovaya oil terminal by locals, and can be seen consuming the facility via NASA's FIRMS.

This is what

@OnDisasters This was so heartbreaking. I think one of the engineers working the project fell ill and died. What passionate work, all burned down for lack of fire extinguishers.

The "Kee Bird" fire May 21 1995: a former USAF B-29 [45-21768 – “Kee Bird”] is destroyed by a fire in Greenland, no victims. Plane had been abandoned since 1947 after a non-fatal accident. A team of aircraft restorers attempted to repair and fly it out of the location, but a fire broke out while it was still on the ground. The Restoration team´s efforts were the subject of a PBS Nova documentary, entitled “Frozen in Time”, and hence this footage exists, as they were filming what would be the aircraft´s engine startup. The fire was not the worst setback on this restoration: one of the project team´s engineers, Richard Allen 'Rick' Kriege, perished from illness during the restoration process. It was later determined that the conflagration began in the aircraft´s APU – Auxiliary Power Unit

@FrankBr05713205 And all that plastic loves heat cycling. No risk of warping and subsequent coolant leaks.

As a longtime automotive technician, I have noticed through the years that almost every time manufacturers come up with new and improved it ends up costing the car owner more money. Here is one example. A simple thermostat, which served us fine for years has now been replaced with a water control valve that is actuated by the car’s computer. So we went from a part that cost around $15 to one that now is $250 and up.

@NOELreports If the wind currents are normally west to east, this wouldn’t be something that RUS could copy and benefit from.

Ukrainian troops tested launching the Ukrainian-American Hornet kamikaze drone from a balloon. The aerostat carried the drone 42 km and released it from 8 km altitude, while the UAV used only 5% of its battery. The method extends range by combining balloon distance, high-altitude release and battery preservation, potentially pushing strike reach 1.5 to 2 times beyond the current 100 to 150 km. #Ukraine

@GrumpyBadger5 @mristo @canalCCore2 Different things. I know about the cart with the big-block V8s used for the Blackbird. In this case, cart-start refers to a cartridge start for the B-52s. youtu.be/9JC8DlnJSVU?si…

@rallyspectator @mristo @canalCCore2 Start carts use engines (piston or gas turbine) and have nothing to do with cartridges. They're a bulky machine, so it's on a cart that can be pulled around by an airfield tractor. Mostly they supply compressed air, which then spins the engines.

Pouca gente sabe, mas antigamente os tratores não tinham chave de ignição e dar a partida era um ritual de pura engenharia mecânica. Para ligar esse Allgaier R18 dos anos 50 você precisa literalmente acender um pavio com fogo antes de girar a manivela. Isso sim é força bruta raiz

@mristo @canalCCore2 B-52 uses something similar called a cart start for fast deployment. The cartridges are much larger.

@wartranslated The normal use case for depleted uranium to penetrate armor doesn't make sense here. Those missiles on the Shaheds is meant to take out pursuing aircraft.

In the Chernihiv region, an elevated radiation level was detected in the wreckage of a downed Shahed drone. Radiation was found in an R-60 missile mounted on the UAV. The missile’s warhead reportedly contained damaging elements made of depleted Uranium-235 and Uranium-238. A gamma radiation level of 12 μSv/h was recorded, significantly exceeding the natural background radiation level and posing a threat to human health.
