No it was their bugfuck crazy instructions for how to restore power to a commercial office building and how to turn it off once power was restored.

i thought single use plastics were banned now Methylethylaldehyde posted:That's a pure jet engine. Most modern jet engines are turbo-fan jet engines. There's a big fan in the front of the cowling that sucks in cold air, and blows it out in a ring around the super hot jet exhaust from the center section. This both makes it way more efficient and makes it way less noisy. As a nifty side effect it also keeps you from power-blow torching the runway apart. it's this though, plain ol' turbojets are incredibly rare these days, it's all turbofan

Kibayasu posted:Really bad runway or really good engine? You can tell it’s a really bad engine because it’s buried in the wing root and there are good reasons no one has done that for like sixty years. But that means it’s an oldschool turbojet engine that gets its thrust from smaller, hotter, higher‐velocity exhaust stream than a modern turbofan engine, which makes it more dangerous to the ground surface.

I was on an early morning flight in January that had just landed, and we were all sort of chilling in our seats, some people had stood up, normal stuff. We had an announcement come over the PA: "we've now opened the front cabin door. Could all passengers please move to the front of the plane as soon as possible; we've experienced some cargo shifting in flight and we're currently overloaded at the back of the aircraft". That would have been a fun start to the day!

On Sunday a twin-engine Cessna crashed into a house in my parent's neighborhood: https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-plane-crash-20190204-story.html quote:So far, investigators know the plane took off from Fullerton Municipal Airport around 1:35 p.m., made a left turn and flew for about 10 miles, reaching an altitude as high as 7,800 feet. By 1:45 p.m., the plane had crashed into a house, engulfing it in flames. They initially thought the pilot was a retired Chicago cop because they recovered a badge, but looks like it was fake. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pilot-calif-plane-crash-killed-5-carried-police-badge-wasn-n967581

Imagined posted:Vampire is a badass name for a jet fighter. This one was exceptionally spooky: quote:On 23 March 1948, John Cunningham, flying a modified Vampire Mk I, which had been furnished with extended wing tips, powered by the Ghost engine, achieved a new world altitude record, having attained a maximum altitude of 59,446 ft (18,119 m).[24]

 I'm no pilot but did the person in command not notice the huge chunks of asphalt raining down in front of the plane before applying full power. If there ever was a reason to abort a take off.... e: looking at it again maybe they didn't. That cockpit visibility looks pretty restricted too. Lucky it didn't cause the plane to crash. I'm reminded of the Concorde crash in Paris caused by a small piece of metal debris. The Real Amethyst fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Feb 6, 2019 |

When I first saw that clip years ago, it included the description that the plane had to land there originally due to emergency or something. And that's what happened when it left. Which is why it's taking off from an airstrip not equipped to handle it, and that they probably hadn't thought through. Not sure if true, because I read it on the internet, but there ya go.

Is there only one stairwell? I remember hearing about an apartment complex locally somewhere in the Atlanta area that had people trapped indoors because of stair maintenance, and the fire department had to come out and get them down with ladder trucks. Nobody was in any immediate danger since the place wasn't on fire, but if it had been, that would have been... uh. Pretty bad.

San Francisco had a bit of an oopsie today: Early reports say a crew was digging to lay fiber and didn't bother calling in their worksite to confirm with PG&E that the area was clear. There are about 3,000 people without power right now and the restaurant that was on that block is probably a complete write-off edit: imgur is being a pain in the rear end so here's a link to the (very ad heavy) article in the SF Gate: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fire-breaks-out-in-Richmond-District-near-USF-due-13595268.php lol if you fucked around with this message at 01:52 on Feb 7, 2019 |

Sorry if this is a bit late, but for the goon with the trapped brother, this happens to be my specialty and I feel compelled to assist in any way possible. If, god forbid, he is forced to flee and dies in the process I’d like to encapsulate his organs in gel as a memorial, and for subscribers.
