TCAS is the on-board system. This warning was from ATC (Air traffic control.) 

What about my Durian fruit and can of surströmming?

Buy one and then get a FOIA request to see who was transported in it and what for and if any cops were disciplined for excessive force.

That presumes this is a narrow forest trail. That is not where one would land a helicopter. This has to be an area that is well clear of all trees and therefore unexpected obstacles. One might argue about hitting another snowmobile, but hitting this helicopter was like hitting a solid wall with no option to steer…

There are some places with intersections a mile or more apart. A 100 foot traverse becomes a 5000 foot detour, a 50X increase. Imagine the reaction of drivers on a 10 mile trip being sent on a 500 mile detour. 

There are a couple of hobbyists on YouTube who has been working on doing the vertical landing with solid fuel rocket - no engine modulation and no ground clearance measurement, though they do have thrust vectoring. They have a lot of video that is much like this. The engines are triggered too soon and burn out before…

There is a road near me that has a tough left turn onto the vertical part of the T intersection. It’s tough because on-coming traffic is nearly relentless and it can take a while for a break to happen. So MoDOT made it a 3-way stop intersection. Even though the new stop signs were clearly visible the number of…

I would prefer crosswalks protected by retractable bollards, the sort used to stop semis from entering nuclear power plant operations.

Would it help? The law already is to stop for anyone in the crosswalk. Would another law to stop at a stop sign for someone in the cross walk help or would it just increase the number of rear-endings when drivers stop for the stop sign when no one is there and the following car sees there is no one and doesn’t figure…

AM bands typically are longer wavelengths, which don’t fit into tiny cell phone antennas. To make it more compact a large chunk of ferrite can help, but it doesn’t do it all. The radio reception for tiny receivers use the headphone as the antenna, but that’s not necessarily the right length to be properly tuned.

Such mixed feelings. Starlink is a great thing, to be sure.

For burns I am unsure how much more the crew could have done. The damage and the majority of the heat are released in a minute or less. After that it’s a matter of avoiding infection and pain management for the next several weeks to months. If there is scarring, it can mean a lifetime of scar tissue care.

I’ve seen other events where the pressure control door breaker was pulled for on-ground maintenance and somebody forgot to click it back on. It is almost certainly something that a maintainer screwed up and not a design or production problem. 

This story made the major networks due to the fact that passengers were found to have ruptured eardrums and bleeding from the nose, likely due to blown out restricted sinuses. They didn’t lead with Boeing. Apparently a similar failure, but without the damage, happens about a half-dozen times a year. 

The airport is at 4,000 feet, I think. 

I have loved open pit mining trucks ever since seeing them dwarfed by the wheel-bucket excavators.

There are some vehicles that weigh more than that which would be fine. It’s just not fine for a heavy co-player of a truck.

is an inspired typo.

They are supposed to deliver a train system. That includes rail and trains. Getting only the rail without train won’t fulfill the contract and no one will start building track without a train to be on it.
