K guys let's not make it creepy this time around. Last time it started being too much like my airliners.net nerd friend who are apt to say things like describing the 757 as "sleek and sexy, with big tits"

Yesterday some IS affiliated group claimed responsibility for downing that plane in Egypt. Today they released this video to back up their claims. It sucks and looks kind of fake, but maybe they weren't bullshitting?

 The Story of the R100 and the R101 III: The Airing of Grievances Part 1 Part 2 While the story of how the Imperial Airship Scheme got to the end of 1929 took lots of words, summarizing our story is very simple. The British wanted to build a fleet of passenger airships, to serve the British Empire. Due to political shenanigans, the development of these airships was turned into a competition between the government backed Royal Airship Works (RAW), and private industry in the form of Vickers. Each set out to build an airship, and whoever built the best airship would win the contract for the rest of the airship fleet. The RAW airship was the R101, and it was very ambitious, looking to pioneer new technology whenever possible; in contrast, the R100 was built on a very cost conscious budget, and used existing technology whenever possible. By the end of 1929, both airships had started flight testing, with the R101 having racked up more than 70 hours. The results of R101's flight testing were disquieting, to say the least: the government had spent a lot of money building a white elephant. No attempt had been made to hedge the risk of developing new technology in a project already very ambitious, and the result was that the R101 was riddled with engineering problems. Even more embarrassingly for the government - mistakes might have been made in the basic engineering, as R101 as completed had no payload capability. R100, in contrast, met her production contract and thus far had shown no problems - at least as compared to R101. We rejoin the action at New Years Day, 1930. R100 retakes the mooring mast, as the R100 staff returns from Christmas vacation.

I don't know enough about airships or the British history of them to know where this story is going, and I'm afraid to look it up because I'm expecting it to end in a large fireball and dozens of deaths.
