Obviously this is not true but are they even good pilots or does a company hire anyone they can find to "validate" and sign off on this kind of poo poo?

I hate to be that guy but I don't see the big deal with the monument slide. It's concave, it's smooth except a few hand holds at the plate joints and it's got a large roof base. You won't get that high or go that fast. Looks fun.

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:yeah, don't, they're all lemons  When we moved to France in 1975, my mother needed a car. My father (ever the cheapskate) suggested a Citroen 2CV/Charleston. My Mom was game until she realized what one actually was, and watched it heeling waaay over as it rounded a corner at speed, and announced she'd never go near the loving thing. She called 2CV "corrugated Cadillacs". She wound up with a Renault 6. Nice to see that their build philosophy hasn't changed much in fifty years.

I don't know who those people were, but I can see it being helpful having someone with Flight Simulator 2000 experience for intermediate testing and debugging during development before bringing in the high paying experts. That's what this conversation sounded like to me.

Mark Forkner was Boeing's "Chief Technical pilot" which *sounds* like an important title but maybe not.

I knew Boeing was in trouble when they hired my cousin. He barely graduated highschool, due to his early and frequent criminal activities. His hobbies include dirtbikes, "owning" the government by growing illegal weed while building illegal machine guns, and physically/emotionally abusing people. I don't know exactly what his job title is but even if it was custodian I'd still be uncomfortable.

It looks like a harder version of the pyramid scheme obstacle from Tough Mudder. The Soviet version looks do-able but you've gotta walk up it like a slab and smoothly transition from the ball of one foot to the other while keeping your COG over one foot or the other.

This happened a few weeks ago, but I didn't see it posted here and I love this picture: it plowed into Corsica at full speed, speculation is that the deck crew were all asleep and the ship missed a turn. Total crew of 7, all fine. https://phys.org/news/2019-10-cargo-ship-aground-corsican-nature.html

Roof of the under construction Sky City Convention Centre in Auckland, New Zealand has been on fire for the past couple of hours. Right in the middle of town and the smoke from the burning butymolololol roof is making it the city uninhabitable. Here's a view from the Mayor's office: https://twitter.com/phil_goff/status/1186443902129070080  Here's a photo from the ferry leaving town. Photo from Chris Keall.  Best quote from the coverage so far: quote:Craig, who would only give his first name, said he was installing a building management unit on the roof when the fire started.

Sweet time lapse: https://twitter.com/NiwaWeather/status/1186519410820833285 Started around 2pm, still burning now at 10:30pm, roof now sacrificed to save the rest of the building, expected to be out 2am to 4am at this stage, but high winds expected after midnight.

Am I seeing it right that the water is flowing through holes and not going over the top, which is higher than the water? That's what prevents the boats from going in? Or is it simply due to the fact that there's not much water going over the lip, so any boats would get stuck on the lip?
