That’s a little afield from its normal operations shuttling airplane sections from Airbus factory to Airbus factory. Any idea what it was doing there?
Dyson!
It’s actually surprising how much pressure a body can withstand under certain circumstances. Certainly not anywhere close to 12,000 ft with any known technology, but divers have dived to 534 meters, and with one atmosphere per 10 meters, that means they were at about 53 times normal atmospheric pressure, or about 750…
Most materials have yield strengths far higher than 6,000 PSI, so solid materials are not going to crush. I mean, look at the Titanic itself. It’s not crushed. The areas that are heavily damaged are the ones that sunk with substantial amounts of air in them, mostly the stern, which allowed collapse.
Thank you. Confusing Gross Tonnage with Deadweight Tonnage (mostly used for bulk carriers like oil tankers) with displacement is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Drives me nuts when popular press articles on ship make this mistake.
Those guest rooms are actually pretty light, all things considered. That’s why cruise ships aren’t quite as top-heavy as their appearance would lead you to believe. But, still, they are behemoths, because that’s what economics dictate.
Not a very good one . . .
Yeah, I only think it is saying it’s a Toyota Crown because his last name is Crown, and the AI is latching onto that.
Why are the first couple of links in this story going to articles on the Titan sub and an article on the Chevrolet Colorado W71 pickup truck? Some sort of weird autolinking?
To be accurate, he only talked about pardoning him. The pardons board is unlikely to recommend pardoning Daniel Perry, and I don’t think Abbott can do it without that, so it was all just dog whistling.
XJR-5 won 6 IMSA races, and the related XJR-7 won 3. It wasn’t the hottest package to have, but on a good day, it could get you to victory circle, especially if the 962s were having a bad day.
Since they didn’t go into it in detail, I was going to let this slide, but, yeah, the 787B has so much mythology built up around it that isn’t really true . . .
The 2708 chassis was pretty bad, having a dated aerodynamic concept. Eventually the March chassis were used, and they had an innovative carbon fiber one that was excluded as “unsafe,” despite the fact that everyone was going to be using a carbon fiber chassis a few years later. That was one of the more shameful CART…
It was probably suicide. He handed his wallet and watch to a coworker before walking toward the engine. Go 1:05 in.
Juan Browne’s Blancolirio YouTube channel, usually a good source for aviation incident summaries, mentioned that he handed his watch and wallet to a coworker before the “accident.” Probably suicide. Still very tragic.
Minor nitpick - the S-3 uses two General Electric TF-34 turbofan engines. As a former P&W employee, I could only wish they used Pratts.
One reason that was stated for using carbon fiber to reduce weight was to make the sub self-buoyant without use of expensive syntactic foam, which most other submersibles (Alvin, Deepsea Challenger, the Triton subs, etc.) use.
The US Navy has now announced that their hydrophones (most likely SOSUS/IPSS) picked up what was very likely the sound of the submarine imploding last Sunday.
