OK, so we need a new concept for 'Runway' - Harrison Ford and Jerry competing in a number of head to head contests, kind of like Pilot-Wings meets American Ninja. No matter who loses, we win!

I thought for sure that the pilots couldn't have made it, but one had an emergency parachute (the one whose plane was missing a wing, I assume) and the other actually landed the other damaged plane.

That whole incident is just :aaa:.

iirc one of the planes had an emergency parachute, like for the entire aircraft

If you’re a sky diving plane I feel it is somewhat safe to make assumptions about most of your passengers re: parachutes.

What if a plane was trying to take off on a treadmill that matched the plane's forward speed, and then the plane released its airframe parachute when the engines were at full power?

It would only work and take off once the runway was lowered.

Brute Squad posted:

isn't that a guaranteed conversation with the FAA?

It might be if someone reports it, but among private GA aircraft in open airspace it's just a really close call. They can both just fly on their way and never say anything about it and pick up a new pair of pants at the Gap by the airport when they land.

It is worth noting that this was filmed from the plane that is supposed to give way in this circumstance. It looks as though we're holding still and the other plane is barreling recklessly towards us, but remember that the other plane has the exact same experience from the other side. When two aircraft are approaching each other at 90 degrees and the same altitude, the one on the right gets the right of way, so technically our plane should have seen the other aircraft and turned away (towards it, so that we pass behind). Both pilots have a responsibility to see and avoid each other, though.

If that had happened to airplanes under ATC control, for instance between aircraft flying IFR, then it would be a loss of separation incident and yes it would get investigated.

The app converts imgur page links, vanilla SA/SALR doesn't.

When you upload an image to imgur, there's a little arrow in the upper right corner of the pic. Hover over that, pick "Get share links" and copy the "BBcode (forums)" option. If it's something ginormous, add a t in front of the img in the {img} tags to thumbnail it.

The actual organization that created the CE mark says China Export isn't a thing. The narrow version is probably just due to someone designing the silkscreen showing all the different markings and needs more room so they push the E closer to the C.

My understanding is that there's no systematic fake "Chinese Export" mark, but that a lot of bad knockoff goods are slapped with the CE mark without actually getting certified, and the CE logos on those can look pretty wonky, like with hosed up prints and the letters stretched or out of place etc.

In addition to this, it's worth noting that China has just rolled out very strict rules for the exporting of 'medical devices' and if it doesn't pass actual local tests, it gets seized at the borders.
It was done specifically to prevent shite quality stuff hitting the the international market and damaging China's reputation during this time.

Compare and contrast that with a certain morbidly obese US politician shilling an untested cure for CV-19

It's in the same vein as 'chinesium' steels, where it says 4140 on the label, but it's some godawful mix of old scrap, ball bearings, some stainless, and a dead frog for good luck, melted and poured roughly into plates.

In a few cases, goods were seized at the border because of the counterfeit CE mark, and were released because the shipper/seller was able to argue that "It's not a CE mark, it's a China Export mark, look they're clearly different!". Apparently it was brazen enough AND legalistically valid enough for them to get away with it long enough for it to become a thing the actual CE people have to describe and disclaim.

poo poo, for a while there, you could see the fake CE mark on CFL/LED bulbs at Lowes/Home Depot, and shocking nobody, they lasted about 3-10% of the 10k hours claimed on the cover.
