If you rammed the ship, then your T was being crossed, sad to say. :)

But Iran is so far away.

Sometimes, what is legally acceptable is not morally defensible. Stoning women is legal in several countries.

A bygone tactic of a long-lost era, my friend. The last time anybody crossed the T was in the Battle of Surigao Bay, as part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. And it was we who crossed it. :)

Assuming the airframe isn't stricken, they're gonna pretty much have to tear all that shit right out. If the frames of those boxes are bent or warped in any way, the economy of repair rule dictates it be trashed. You just can't fix that. Especially given that the circuit cards inside are likely warped as well. Also,…

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

If you compress air to the density of water, sound will travel at very much the same speed. There is air in the Thermosphere, which can reach several thousand degrees in temperature, but in which the speed of sound is less than 10mph.

We are at war with Eastasia. We have always been at war with Eastasia.

I'm still fairly certain that the number one cause of death is being born.

The fuck? So you're telling me density plays no role whatsoever in the speed of sound? Because I'm preeeeeeeeeeety fuckin' sure the speed of sound in 50°F water is still about five times faster than the speed of sound in 50°F air.

Boy, I remember that one time Hitler used the ol "Save the kids!" line to further his agenda. Worked pretty well then, too, I recall. The people were all for it.

WTF? It's Navy pilots that do this on a daily basis. Air Force pilots would refuse to land in such conditions.

For those of you wondering, the music in the background is a choiral rendition of Adagio by Samuel Barber.

It's a composite audio cable being plugged into a component video channel.

Oh my god, I would do this all day.

Willing to bet the MTFs look like a the edge of a continental shelf.

I have, in the past, driven this small vehicle:

Cave Johnson here.

Ah, my favorite example of irony... anti-piracy measures that actively motivate legitimate purchasers to pirate their games.
