Good point. Another “tell” is that the author didn’t mention that this is called a pinnacle landing, which would have been a great opportunity to link to some sweet pinnacle landing videos.

I think it’s safe to say when an article/post refers to a Chinook as a “big ol’ two-blade helicopter” the only ‘fact’ you can trust from the author is that maybe an aircraft was involved, everything else is a crapshoot.

I dunno if Chinooks are “most commonly used in search and rescue operations in Afghanistan.” Although they are used for that purpose, they’re most commonly used for special operations and personnel transfer. Pedantic! I know! I’m sorry!

That’s pretty normal when you live in multi-unit dwelling? As a renter you don’t actually own the space you live in and the owner has a vested interest in making sure you aren’t keeping a car engine in your closet or something. (I will swear on any god who can hear that, yes, I know a case involving a car engine.)

He’s from Highland Park in Dallas - his experience with gator tails has nothing to do with reptiles.
