The Vitamin E acetate thing was just straight up lungs dying, it did not take long at all. Vape juice with cannabinoids has a specific texture and cloudiness, vitamin e acetate also makes vape juice look cloudy in the same way. So, a bunch of thc vape carts were using this stuff "honeycut" to make them look stronger than they were, and it was just vitamin e. So that was that whole thing.

I just looked this up and if Covid didn't happen it feels like a much bigger deal would have been made of this. The story behind it is insane.

quote:

All summer, DeGraw had inhaled cart after cart from boxes labeled Dank Vapes and Rove. Leafly had the remaining oil in DeGraw’s spent cartridges tested by SC Labs.

Those tests turned up disturbing results. SC Labs President Josh Wurzer said DeGraw had inhaled “significant amounts of alpha-tocopherol” as well as troubling amounts of lead from his illicit THC carts.

Subsequent testing came back negative for tocopherols, but extremely high for pesticides and lead. Wurzer found sky-high levels of “literally dozens” of pesticides in “insane concentrations.” SC Labs’ machines, he said, aren’t set up to detect such high amounts. “This might take the prize for [the] most pesticide-contaminated sample we have ever tested,” said Wurzer.

Thanks for the link, that's horrifying. The slow poisions are the worst. The slow effect means you don't know there's a problem until its too late, and then you're the walking dead. See also melamine I guess.

nobody should touch a vape cart they didn't buy themselves from a legal weed store after this poo poo. assume all retail packaging in illegal markets is fake and that the carts are stepped on unless you or someone you trust bought it irl from a legal, licensed weed store in a legal state

and even then you might be vaping mold and pesticides etc.

Bringing it full circle, that whole thing was (one of) the main pieces of "evidence" used for a popular Chinese conspiracy theory in the very early days of COVID. That COVID didn't really start in China and had in fact been spreading all over America long before any cases were found in China and all of the EVALI deaths were actually COVID deaths, but the US government made up the connection to THC vapes as a cover story.

Unfortunately there are zero G forces, so you can unclip your seatbelt and float out of your chair yelling "woo, I'm an astronaut!". Which I strongly recommend you do.

As a consolation, I can guarantee that it is impossible for you to be aware of the impact. I did the math a while ago, and in that kind of crash the plane turns into a pancake faster than the signals can travel from your eyes to your brain. Everyone on that plane definitely went from alive to dead without noticing it.

I need better hobbies.

Oooof. I don't know what to feel about that. Is it better to be alive knowing you're going to die then it's instant blackness, or die without knowing it but feeling it for an instant before the end?

I am Fat Man, hear me roar!

I’m almost certain they’ll recover the black box and cockpit voice recorder. They’re designed to survive that sort of impact and they know exactly where it crashed.

What led to the brief recovery before second descent is the million dollar question. That shows the plane was still operable at that point.

Random Stranger
Nov 27, 2009




That velocity is basically free fall from a cruising altitude.

My wild rear end guess is loss of cabin pressure, pilots pass out pushing plane into a dive, and when they shake it off at the last second they try to recover but can't.

Yeah, I'm thinking something happened with the pilots. Even if all 4 of the engines died you'd still be able to glide it down at a much less aggressive angle of descent.

There's also a lot of components that will cause an immediate power dive like this. Damage to the horizontal stabilisers, or their control systems, e.g. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-feb-15-me-64384-story.html

no way to tell until they find the black box, if it survived.

Grimey Drawer
Where does the altitude data come from? Radar or some kind of onboard instrument? I'm wondering if stress on the airframe could have caused some of it to break up and make something that appears like a recovery but it's really just an artifact of the break up of the plane.
