Or people who don’t want to accept the very slight risk of being killed by an out-of-control plane at an airshow should just not attend airshows, and let everyone else continue to enjoy them.

I hate this mentality of banning everything that is even slightly unsafe. It’s why I never got to play dodgeball past 9th grade…

After the P-51 crash at the Reno Air Race, the NTSB said that air races (and by extension, airshows), despite all safety precautions, are an inherently dangerous event and no amount of safety will make it immune to accidents.

So according to the source articles, the Thunderbird went down in Colorado Springs around 1:15pm (Mountain time?) and the Blue Angel went down in Smyrna around 3pm (Central time?).

I have shame.

He got kicked from thr F1 seat for lack of money, not lack of talent.

Good for him. Not so great for indy.

Oh, I know they don’t use the Nurburgring as their initial development proving grounds. That doesn’t mean an odd combination of factors at the ring can’t uncover a fluke in the code. I’m not saying that’s what happened here. Just saying it definitely looks as though the car and the driver weren’t on the same page in…

Definitely looks like a brake bias issue caused the initial bit of oversteer. Also looks weirdly like the driver was expecting ABS to be functioning. I’m assuming their test driver is experienced enough to know that you can’t steer the car with the front tires locked, so I feel like he was expecting the car to do…

Huh, didn’t know they offered the SS trim on the 81 Vette.

Oh I did read the article. Didn’t deem it worthwhile to edit the comment, it stands true even after reading it! I don’t do it normally, don’t worry Mr. Ballaban.

Don’t speed when smuggling weed

Oh, is this what we’re doing today? Trolling using history?

Tell me again how disarming the law abiding will make criminals follow more gun laws?

Ok, I’ll play.........where do we draw the line in this game of “Fuck this and fuck that”? George Washington owned slaves.......should we just topple the Washington Monument? Some US GI’s committed horrible atrocities against civilians in Vietnam.....does the Vietnam Wall belong on public land?

Take your aftermarket exhaust off so it can hear you!

I don’t care how you spin it. A driver who missed almost a third of the season should NOT be crowned champion. But that said, I was hoping Kyle would win it simply to expose the Chase (especially in its current format) for the farce that it is.

Metal fatigue is not something that can be easily predicted or analyzed. Especially in aluminum! The only way to make sure structural components like the main wing spars of the plane are still OK would be to cut them up and look at their crystallography with microscopes. Which obviously destroys the plane.
